What is the Atlantic 10 Conference Logo?

The Atlantic 10 Conference was founded in 1975 as the Eastern Collegiate Basketball League (ECBL) and began conference play in 1976. At that time, basketball was its only sport. After its first season, it added sports other than basketball and changed its name to the Eastern Athletic Association. However, despite its official names, it was popularly known as the Eastern 8, as it then had eight members. After changes in membership that saw charter members leave and new members enter, establishing the league with 10 members, the conference adopted the current Atlantic 10 name in 1982. Basketball was still the conference`s most popular sport hence the logo featuring a basketball in the center beside the Eastern portion of the United States.
