I think it was just the times. The ammount of space would have made it awkward to put U of Colo and they could have just put Colorado vs Rice but Colorado State was Colorado A&M at the time and there was Colorado College also so it may have confused some people, although I don't think that's too likley as their is a Buffalo on the pin as well. My thoughts are that it was just different in 1938, I think I've seen other instances where we were called Colorado University around that time and earlier. if you take the first two letters with the name being Colorado University it would allow for the CU moniker to make sense.
