School colors
The UCLA school colors are "True Blue" and gold. The "True Blue" is a slightly darker shade than the previous powder blue worn by teams. The shade was developed by the UCLA athletic department and
Adidas for the 2003 school year
[1].
In the early days of the school, UCLA had the same colors as the
University of California, navy blue and gold.
When
football coach
Red Sanders came to UCLA for the 1949 season he redesigned the football uniforms. The navy blue was changed to a lighter shade of blue. Sanders figured that the baby blue would look better on the field and in film. He would dub the baby blue uniform "Powderkeg blue", powder blue with an explosive kick.
[2] For the 1954 football season, Sanders added a gold loop on the shoulders, the UCLA Stripe.
[3]
Sports facilities
Two very notable sports facilities serve as home venues for UCLA sports. Since 1982, the Bruin football team has played its home games at the
Rose Bowl in
Pasadena, California. From 1923–81, including the Bruins' 1954 National Championship year, the team played at the
Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in
Los Angeles,
California. The women’s gymnastics, men's and women's basketball, and volleyball teams play at
Pauley Pavilion on campus. There is also Steele Field at the Jackie Robinson stadium, which is close to the campus.
Championships
As of 2009, UCLA has won 104
NCAA team championships, and 125 total national team championships—more than any other university. The most recent championship came on May 10, 2009, when the women's water polo team defeated crosstown rival
USC, 5-4 to win the 2009
Women's Water Polo Championship.
UCLA also secured three NCAA championships during the month of May,
2008: on
May 11, 2008 when UCLA defeated archrival USC, 6–3, for the Women's Water Polo Championship
[4], on
May 20, 2008 when the Bruins defeated
California for the Women's Tennis Championship
[5], and on
May 31, 2008 when UCLA defeated archrivals
Stanford and USC for the Men's Golf Championship
[6].
UCLA is the first, and currently only, school to win at least 100 NCAA championships. UCLA secured its 100th NCAA Championship on May 13, 2007, when UCLA defeated Stanford, 5–4, for the 2007 Women's Water Polo Championship. In the following 2007–08 sports season, some UCLA sports teams commemorated this achievement by replacing the blue letter 'C' on their uniforms with a gold 'C' ('C' being the
Roman numeral for 100).

Men's Basketball
Several of the most revered championships were won by the Men's
Basketball team under coaches
John Wooden and
Jim Harrick. The rich legacy of UCLA basketball has produced 11 NCAA championships - 1964, 1965, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, and 1995. From 1971 to 1974, UCLA men's basketball won an unprecedented 88 consecutive games, a record that many sports pundits consider unbreakable. Past rosters of UCLA basketball teams have included greats such as
Rafer Johnson who was the 1960 Olympic Decathlon Champion,
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (then known as Lew Alcindor),
Bill Walton,
Reggie Miller and
Walt Hazzard. The Bruins also had a winning record for 54 consecutive seasons from the 1948-1949 season to the 2001-2002 season.
[7]
In recent years, UCLA Men's Basketball has returned to prominence under Coach
Ben Howland. Between 2006 and 2008, UCLA has been to three consecutive Final Fours, while UCLA's players have received numerous awards, most notably
Arron Afflalo, a 2007 First-Team All American, and
Kevin Love, a 2008 First-Team All American and the Pac-10 Player of the Year
[8].
Football
In 1954, the UCLA football team earned a share of the national title with a 9–0 record and a #1 ranking in the
UPI football poll, while
Ohio State was ranked #1 in the

Rose Bowl Game 12 times, winning 5 of them. The Bruins have won or shared the conference title 17 times. Among the many former UCLA football stars are
Jackie Robinson (better known for his exploits as a baseball player, but nevertheless a 4-sport letterman and All-American), Heisman Trophy winner
Gary Beban,
Bob Waterfield,
Troy Aikman,
Carnell Lake, and
Tommy Maddox. One of the great moments in recent history for the Bruins came on December 2, 2006, when they beat
USC 13–9 in one of the greatest upsets in the rivalry.
UCLA became the first school to have a top winner in both basketball and football in the same year with
Gary Beban winning the Heisman Trophy and
Lew Alcindor (now
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) winning the
U.S. Basketball Writers Association player of the year award in 1968.
Golf
In the 2009
Golf Championship, the men's golf team won the Central Region, came from behind to beat #4 ranked Washington. It is the third regional championship in the last seven years for the Bruins. They, the defending

Spirit
thumb
The Bruin mascots are Joe and Josephine Bruin. There have been a number of editions of the bruins over the years, with the happy bruins as the favorites of the fans. The mean ones were retired. One of the old mascots has been retired to the Bruin Hall of Fame. They have participated in other events for UCLA besides athletic events.

Marching Band entertains the crowds at Bruin games. The school
fight songs are "
Sons of Westwood" and "
The Mighty Bruins".
USC rivalry
UCLA shares a traditional sports rivalry with the nearby
University of Southern California. This rivalry is relatively unique in

Each year, a minimum of one and a maximum of eight former UCLA athletes, coaches or administrators are added to the Hall of Fame. Upon its 23rd year of existence, The Hall of Fame was moved to a new location facing Westwood Plaza. The new Hall of Fame is now double in size after its renovation and expansion, which was completed in the Winter of 2000. The first floor in the east wing of the new J.D.
