The Charlotte 49ers, UNC Charlotte's Division I intercollegiate athletics program, today unveiled a highly anticipated new brand identity that is expected to become a rallying point for all of Niner Nation and the broader Charlotte community. This is the first update to the Charlotte 49ers athletic mark since 2000.
"The new identity captures the energy that will drive our programs to championship-level success," said 49ers Director of Athletics Mike Hill. "It's an exciting time for Charlotte athletics. We enjoyed our first football bowl game last season, set a record for home wins in men's basketball, won league titles in men's and women's track and field, advanced to the NCAA Men's Soccer Tournament second round, and saw multiple teams continue their dramatic competitive ascent.
