Club Teams

All club teams must include the word “club” before or after the sport, such as Diving Club. An inappropriate example is UMD Diving Team.

The M bar or Maryland bar logos (see examples below) can be used with “Maryland” above the bar and the club name under it.

Club teams, unlike official ICA teams, can use the muscle Testudo logo.
