Montclair State University's athletic teams have played under many names in the school's history. From the late 1920s to '30s, the school played as the "Big Red" and featured a large scarlet "M" on its uniforms. Next, Montclair State Teacher's College competed as the Indians, using a logo with a [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] chief's profile with the initials "MSTC" emblazoned on the caricature's headdress.<ref name="logo history">{{Cite web|url=http://www.montclairathletics.com/documents/2012/2/3/MSULogoHistory.pdf?id=254|title=''MSU Logo History''|work=montclairathletics.com}} Retrieved 2016-8-12</ref> The initials were changed to "MSC" when the school became Montclair State College in 1958. In response to the growing concerns voiced by Native Americans, the school changed its nickname to the Red Hawks,<ref name="logo history"/> named after the [[Red-tailed Hawk]]s that are indigenous to the area. Montclair’s Athletic teams all play in the NCAA Division III (Campus Teams). Montclair’s 2023 season was wonderful for the men’s soccer team, they would win the NJAC Division and would go on to make it to the semi finals of the National Championship before falling to Connecticut College on penalties.
