The faculty of Concordia College selected maroon and gold as the school’s colors in 1900.

Citations in the World Almanac (listed by cover date; color information is from the previous year): maroon/gold (1923-1935)

Concordia College does not appear in early IBAC lists from 1927 or 1948, so the IBAC may not have assigned the college a hood lining until the late 1940s or 1950s. An IBAC list from 1972 described the college’s hood lining as “maroon over gold” which probably indicated a division per chevron.
