The school colors (red, black, and gold), and the team name (Chargers), were selected in 2005 by a committee of grade eights from Collegiate's feeder schools. Dylan Wingert and Braedon Harper, students of Silverspring School, designed the logo of the Collegiate.{{Cite web|url=https://www.spsd.sk.ca/school/centennial/About/handbook/Documents/2017-2018%20Student%20Handbook.pdf|title=Student Handbook 2017-18 {{!}} Centennial Collegiate|last=Collegiate|first=Centennial|date=|website=spsd.sk.ca|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180307151050/https://www.spsd.sk.ca/school/centennial/About/handbook/Documents/2017-2018%20Student%20Handbook.pdf|archive-date=March 7, 2018|access-date=March 6, 2017|url-status=dead}}
