Connecticut Huskies Team Merchandise Page
The Connecticut Huskies, also known as the UConn Huskies, are the athletic teams of the University of Connecticut in the United States. The school is a member of National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I and the Big East Conference for all sports except Men's Ice Hockey (Atlantic Hockey) and Women's Ice Hockey (Hockey East). The major sports at the university are football (played at Rentschler Field) and men's and women's basketball (played on-campus at Harry A. Gampel Pavilion and off-campus at the XL Center), although many of the other sports have large followings and a tradition of success.
The university's teams are nicknamed "Huskies." The school was originally named Connecticut Agricultural College, but it became Connecticut State College in 1933. During the Connecticut Agricultural College days, the teams were referred to as the Aggies.[2]
UConn's women's teams are not known as the "Lady Huskies," but merely as "UConn Huskies" in equal billing as the men's team.
