This site helps you find the Duke University Blue Devils Calendars you are looking for Back to College Team Calendars home Duke University is a private research university located in Durham, North Carolina, United States. Founded by Methodists and Quakers in the present-day town of Trinity in 1838, the school moved to Durham in 1892. Duke's 26 varsity sports teams, known as the Blue Devils, are members of the NCAA's Division I Atlantic Coast Conference. The Blue Devil Mascot's origins are rooted in a elite French alpine fighting unit that garnered accolades and much global attention during World War I and its aftermath. The French fighters' uniforms consisted of a flowing blue cape and blue beret. Athletic teams at the school had no moniker until approximately 1924 when the school's newspaper, The Trinity Chronicle, decided upon "Blue Devils" as the name after a much maligned democratic effort to select a name in the previous year.
