# List of rowing blades used by schools and universities

This is a list of rowing blades used by schools and universities. The blade refers to the portion of an oar that enters the water and provides the bulk of propulsion. The designs are typically not trademarked, although some institutions may assert design rights to prevent imitation. As with other academic sports teams the blades used tend to draw as their inspiration heraldry of their academic institutions. On rare occasions, a colour difference between the blades of male and female rowing teams is found in academic settings, as in the case of Worcester College, Oxford.
