For today’s TuesD3y Spotlight we’re featuring the Tufts University Jumbos. Tufts is a private research university in Medford, MA just outside of Boston. This team has a long and storied history, playing since the 1874-75 football season. They went 1-0 that year with a win vs. Harvard; dominant! They play in the NESCAC athletic conference and have been a member since its founding in 1971.
The team’s colors are Tufts Blue, a university branded color, and Brown. While an interesting combination, I’ve always thought it looks great on the field. They really execute the difficult colors fantastically with their vibrant kits.

In particular I think they pull off the silver/brown/silvers well. And take a look at those Jumbo helmet stickers!

The athletic department uses the new Jumbo logo in conjunction with a crossed tusks T badge, both shown below.

It’s always a pleasure to see a unique combination of colors done well, and I think Tufts modern football branding paves the way for a lot of smaller schools looking to find an identity.
