Rice Athletics will reveal the results of two years of extensive research when the Owls unveil a new family of design elements for the department on Tuesday, April 11 at noon in the Brian Patterson Sports Performance Center.



Joe Karlgaard, Rice Director of Athletics, will unveil a new set of athletic marks created to bring a fresh and exciting identity to the Owls 16 intercollegiate athletics teams. The new marks were developed in partnership with Torch Creative and adidas. Selected Rice student athletes will model examples of new graphic treatments on uniforms.



Rice fans unable to attend the event in person will be able to watch the announcement live on a free webcast on CUSAtv. Doors to the east entrance to the Patterson Center will open to the public at 11:15 a.m. Parking will be available in West Lots 2 & 3 on the east side of Rice Stadium.
