Stats

The Hope College Sports Information office uses NCAA Live Stats for basketball, football, soccer and volleyball and Presto Stats for baseball, men's lacrosse, women's lacrosse and softball. Credentialed media will receive printed copies of halftime and final game statistics. IPads to follow live stats will be provided upon request.

Branding

Hope College has a strong tradition of intercollegiate athletics. A distinct sub-brand celebrates that heritage while bringing clarity and cohesion to the visual expression of the sports program. Hope's colors are specific and restricted: Orange (PMS 166) and Blue (PMS 289). The orange anchor is the primary logo for representing Hope teams. The orange letter H is a secondary logo.
