It is not known when the Intercollegiate Bureau of Academic Costume (IBAC) assigned Loyola University Chicago a hood lining pattern, but in a 1927 list and a 1948 list the IBAC described the hood lining of the university as gold with a crimson (not maroon) chevron, which may suggest an IBAC assignment around 1914 if the Bureau used the World Almanac as a color reference.

In the late 1940s or 1950s the Intercollegiate Bureau corrected this error but also transposed the colors of  Loyola’s hood lining, which was cited in a 1969 IBAC list as maroon with a gold chevron. A 1972 IBAC list reverted to the old shade of red, describing Loyola’s hood lining as crimson with a gold chevron.

Unfortunately, these were duplications of the hood linings the IBAC had already assigned to Calvin College (maroon with a gold chevron) and the University of Denver (crimson with a gold chevron), so here Loyola has retained its original Intercollegiate Bureau of Academic Costume hood lining arrangement, except that crimson has been corrected to maroon.
