About the University of Toledo Tartan

Your unique tartan pattern was created using our proprietary algorithm, which combines the year Toledo was founded - 1872 - with the geographic coordinates of its campus - 41.657° N, 83.614° W. 

The individual thread counts reveal your unique time and place in history using Toledo's official primary colors - Blue and Gold. Toledo's heart, mind, and spirit are also expressed through these secondary colors:

  • Light Blue for the heartbeat of your beautiful campus
  • Black for your unflagging pursuit of cutting-edge research
  • Gray for your spirit of deep connection to your city and beyond
