McMaster unveils Indigenous Marauder logo created by Cayuga Woodland artist Kyle Joedicke – McMaster University

September 23, 2025

McMaster University has unveiled an Indigenous version of its Marauder logo in collaboration with Cayuga Woodland artist Kyle Joedicke.

The mark was developed with input from the Indigenous Student-Athlete Council (ISAC), Indigenous Student Services (ISS) and the Equity and Inclusion Office. It blends Indigenous patterns and symbolism with the university’s longstanding athletics identity, and will debut Sept. 26 during McMaster’s Truth and Reconciliation soccer doubleheader where the women’s and men’s teams will wear custom jerseys designed by Joedicke featuring his woodland art style.

Joedicke, who grew up between Caledonia and Six Nations of the Grand River, is a self-taught Cayuga Woodland artist whose work reflects Haudenosaunee stories and cultural teachings. His practice is influenced by West Coast Haida art, Norval Morrisseau and graffiti culture. A recipient of a Hamilton Arts Award, he has created large-scale murals across Ontario and collaborated with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Forge FC and the University of Waterloo. He also serves as an artist ambassador for the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Foundation.
