University System of Maryland

Each institution in the system uses different athletic colors but the same academic hood lining pattern from the original University of Maryland:

A University of Maryland felt pennant from the 1940s. The original university seal shown here contained the founding date of the Maryland College of Medicine (1807), which later became the University of Maryland; the founding date of the Maryland Agricultural College (1856), which later became Maryland State College; and the date the University and the State College were consolidated (1920).

The academic colors of the University of Maryland are the colors of the Maryland flag, which was adopted in 1904:  black, gold, “cerise” (usually depicted as red), and silver (usually depicted as white)

The Intercollegiate Bureau of Academic Costume (IBAC) probably assigned the University of Maryland a black hood lining with an old gold chevron around 1920 when the original University of Maryland in Baltimore consolidated with Maryland State College (formerly the Maryland Agricultural College) in College Park. Unfortunately, this hood lining pattern was a duplication of the hood lining that had already been assigned in 1895 to Johns Hopkins University, which is also in Maryland. To avoid this problem, here a lining pattern that incorporates all four of the University of Maryland’s colors has been created, using a heraldic division per cross from the state flag.
