The Hofstra Brand Introduction The following guidelines have been developed to build a strong visual identity for the Hofstra University Department of Athletics in all intra-university and external communications. By adhering to these guidelines, we will create and support a consistent, familiar and sophisticated image. This will inspire pride in our studentathletes, prospective student-athletes, alumni, administration, students, staff, fans and the general public. A consistent and well-defined image presented on high-quality apparel and merchandise will increase royalty commissions driven by sales. What does Pride mean? The Pride was introduced as the official athletic logo of Hofstra University in 2005. Pride refers to a pack of lions, male and female, who work together towards a common goal and symbolize determination and strength. The Pride conveys both the teamwork and togetherness that are traits of lions living in a pride, that have a close bond and work together for the good of the entire group.
