The Duke Blue Devils compete in NCAA Men’s Basketball as a part of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Some notable opponent teams from the conference are North Carolina, Florida State, Louisville, and Georgia. The name originates from the French word "Les Diables" which translates to the Blue Devils. The name was decided in 1921, following a contest held by students to determine a nickname.
Their current logo is a stylish letter D, which has been in usage since 1978. The first-ever logo was launched in 1936. It was a Devil's portrait colored in blue and had Duke written in the bottom right corner. After that, there were four other renditions of a devil logo, till 1978, when there was a complete makeover.
