Virginia is removing details from the athletic department's new primary and secondary logos that feature a reference to the school's history with slavery.
"After the release of our new logos on April 24th, I was made aware of the negative connotation between the serpentine walls and slavery," athletic director Carla Williams said in a statement."I was not previously aware of the historical perspective indicating the original eight-foot-high walls were constructed to mask the institution of slavery and enslaved laborers from public view.
UVA said it is beginning the process of replacing the logos with new versions that return to straight-line handles. Fans who purchased apparel with the new logo are being asked to email the Virginia athletic department.
