About UCLA Bruin Purple & Gold (1919)
UCLA's True Blue and Gold is one of American collegiate athletics' most recognizable pairings — adopted in 1919 when the school was still a small Southern California teachers college. The Pacific Blue carries the depth of the California coast while the saturated athletic gold channels relentless West Coast sunshine.
Through John Wooden's dynasty, Pauley Pavilion's hardwood, and generations of Bruin athletes, these colors have become synonymous with competitive excellence and maritime confidence. This system renders that legacy in condensed athletic type and bold rectilinear surfaces.
