The mark consists of a black wreath with the words "THE ANNUAL" in white and outlined in black inside a maroon rectangle banner outlined in black with curved sides at the top of the wreath and the words "FOOTBALL CLASSIC" on the bottom of the wreath written in black inside a gold rectangle banner outlined in black with curved sides. Inside of the wreath are two concentric circles with black shading in between them and gold borders with the word "TUSKEGEE" at the top written in white block letters and the word "MOREHOUSE" written in white block letters at the bottom, both words being in between the two concentric circles. Inside of the smaller circle against a gray background are the letters "T" in gold and "M" in maroon both letters outlined in black with black shadowing. The letters "T" and "M" are over a brown football with black lines and white in the center of the football. To the left of the football are white lines depicting speed. In between the letters "T" and "M" is a football player dressed in a maroon shirt, gold pants, maroon and white shoes and a gold helmet running while holding a brown football. Underneath the "T" and "M" in all white block letters is the wording "SINCE 1935". All other instances of the color white in the mark represent background/and or transparent areas only and are not features of the mark.
