Louisville Cardinals 2021: News, Schedule, Roster, Scores, Injury Report
The Louisville Cardinals compete in NCAA Men's Basketball as a part of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Some notable opponent teams from the conference are Duke, Florida State, Virginia, and North Carolina. They were founded in 1911.
They were named the Cardinals in the early 1910s, as a tribute to the state bird of Kentucky, the northern cardinal.
Their first logo was a cardinal in a Louisville football jersey. Later it was dropped and only the face of the cardinal remained and an extended wing on which the name of the college was written. Then in 2013, it was changed once more, and only the face of the cardinal was retained.
