The Yellow C in UCLA

What's up with the yellow C in UCLA on the Bruins basketball jerseys? I've been wondering this for weeks but I finally found out. It's not to emphasize California in the school name or to demonstrate that California is the Golden State in visual form... Actually, the C is the roman numeral for the number 100, and denotes that UCLA has compiled 100 team NCAA championships, the first of any athletic program in the country. Read more here.

Now you can have this piece of trivia at your disposal the next time it comes up in conversation.
