MIAMI HURRICANES
(1930-present)
LEAGUE: ACC
LOCATION: Coral Gables, Florida
OFFICIAL COLORS: Orange, Green and White
Miami has one of the most famous logos in all of college football with the "U" logo. Also, the unique color combination of green and orange. Though their helmets have been white for many years without much logo deviation, the Hurricanes have had metallic gold, Green and yellow/gold helmets in their history. In the late 1960's, they wore some special decals, especially in use Vs. Florida. I need to obtain better images of these and also images of the award decals they used. The color of green that they have used seems to fluctuate from Forest Green to Kelly Green and back to Forest Green, so for descriptions I chose to leave it simply as "Green".
