Why the Green Knights?

The Green Knights…

They were once known as the“Juggernaut” or, sometimes, the“Green Juggernaut.”

That was back in the early years ofSt. Norbert sports - the 1920s andbefore, when the sports programwas a combination of high schooland college teams and games.

Later, into the early 1930s, St.Norbert teams were know as the“Green and Gold Wave,” then,sometimes, just the “Green Wave,”or the “Goldmen.”

In 1933, the college yearbook, theDes Peres, was built on a medievaltheme with lots of references to gal-lant Knights.

And in 1934, the name “GreenKnights” was pinned to the collegevarsity teams.

The late Rev. Dennis M. Burke, O.Praem., former president of St.Norbert College, said the Knightsidea was promoted largely by theRev. L.A.V. De Cleene, O. Praem., amathematics professor at St.Norbert in those years.

Father DeCleene had been a cadet at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point before joining the Norbertine Order andwas quite taken with the West Point nickname of “Black Knights of the Hudson.”

Perhaps St. Norbert’s location on the banks of the Fox River contributed to this memory and fondness for the nickname.While St. Norbert’s athletes never did become Green Knights of the Fox, they did evolve into Green Knights.

But why “Green?”

When the Norbertines, the Founding Fathers of St. Norbert College, originally from Berne Abbey in Holland, came to DePere, they brought with them the Norbertine traditions that included a coat of arms primarily in red, white and blue. Butbeing a descendant of the original abbey, the Norbertines in America kept the design but changed the colors toDartmouth green and white with gold. The colors are said to have been suggested by an English professor originallyfrom Dartmouth and seconded by the Rev. John A. Van Heertem, O. Praem., who had visited Dartmouth and came awayfavorably impressed.

In 1931, to differentiate between the high school and college departments, it was decided that the high school wouldretain the green and white colors while the college would adopt “Dartmouth green and light old gold” as its colors.

And that remains the official colors of today’s Green Knights.

P.S. - Many out-of-town observers note the similarity between St. Norbert colors and those of the Green Bay Packers. ThePackers donned blue and gold as their colors through the mid-1950s, and then switched to the current green and goldscheme shortly before the Lombardi era.
