From 1973 to 1979, New Mexico experimented with turquoise as an official athletics color, in addition to their cherry and silver colors that represent sunsets in the Sandia Mountains. UNM Athletics paired the turquoise with this logo; the logo stuck around until 1999. Our take on the Lobos’ turquoise is more late ‘70s and 1980s-inspired, to match some of the vintage memorabilia that still incorporated turquoise after the Lobos officially retired it.
