SAILOR MAT CLUB UNVEILS NEW LOGO

June 6, 2020

Sailor Mat Club is proud to unveil our new and improved logo. We have chosen to keep the Sailor tradition alive and thriving with the traditional green and white color scheme, as well as the nautical imagery of an anchor and compass.

A compass was chosen to represent guidance. For sailors, the compass was one of the most valuable pieces of equipment that they owned. The compass was used to always guide them to the right path, even through troubled seas and unfamiliar waters. Like the compass, Sailor Mat Club supports our Sailor athletes and will continue to guide them through troubled seas.

The anchor was chosen as a nod to past logos adopted by Sailor Mat Club. As a club, we believe that tradition is important; and we will continue to preserve the tradition of Columbus Sailor wrestling. In addition to the traditional Sailor reference, the anchor serves as a reminder that we are anchored in Christ. Faith is one of the ways that we distinguish ourselves from our peers, and the principles of our faith drive all of our interactions.

Look for the new logo on all official club apparel this upcoming year!
