WinCrimson 61 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I pretty much agree with all of it besides the Clemson tiger print being the best logo. It just doesn't do anything for me. I'd pick the Longhorn as the top logo. I've always thought it was pretty cool. Nice to see 'Bama at #2 on the names list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsixfive 328 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Yeah, that Clemson logo is the generic paw print every high school, middle school, and pee wee team uses if they have a feeline mascot. I don't like the WVU logo either, it looks to 70s. And UT's is just a T. Woo hoo. Michigan beats them hands down for the one letter logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleDrill 178 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 The Tennessee "Power T" logo is a classic. It says it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit their helmets are cool, but they are not the logo. I agree that the generic Clemson paw print should not be #1. I've always liked Wichita State's nickname- The Shockers (nothing to do with the obscene gesture of the same name). As far as logos go, as much as I hate to say this, the Navy logo that uses the goat on steriods is pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROLL TIDE FOREVER AMEN 0 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Can someone explain to me again the Miami "U". I never got that one. And that skinny bird they have with a crack pipe in his mouth.... Huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger12 46 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Can someone explain to me again the Miami "U". I never got that one. And that skinny bird they have with a crack pipe in his mouth.... Huh? 238566[/snapback] Here is your answer... The Orange, Green & WhiteUM’s school colors were selected in 1926. The colors of the Florida orange tree represent UM. Orange symbolizes the fruit of the tree, green represents the leaves and white, the blossoms. The "U" In 1973, UM’s Athletic Federation, the fund raising arm of the athletic department at the time, commissioned a local public relations expert to develop a distinctive logo. The University had gone several years with a variety of helmet and uniform changes and the Federation noted that a number of major colleges have the initials UM. Miami designer Bill Bodenhamer suggested the "U" idea, which lent itself to slogans like "U gotta believe" and "U is great". Sounds pretty corny if you ask me.

Jenny AU-92 0 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I have said this before, but I have always liked Maryland. Anyone who can have a sports mascot who represents one of the slowest creatures on earth, and then scream "Fear the Turtle!!" with a straight face has to be respected!!

bammanmr 0 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 i can agree that the longhorn logo should be #1. a LOT of those logos are pretty new. notre dame and tex. are probably the only logos on that list that are older than ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that it is the most copied logo in all of sports (college, minors, pros). When as many teams copy a logo such as Clemson's, there's got to be something that is appealing about it.... Just my 2 cents.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, then why do they get credit for it? If you look at other logos on the list, it can't be about the most used because there are several that are not used by anybody else but that team. I mean, who else uses the , , ND, WV, and Miami logos besides those teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwegl 11 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Clemson's is generic. Here’s some that are different but not ugly…G Tech, The Golden Gophers. Stanford (Tree with the S), Virginia (the V with the two swords). Arizona State, FSU, Purdue, UCF, Louisiana Lafayette, UNLV, Oregon (The one with Donald), UCLA . Texas has a good one. Michigan’s is classic. UGLY…. Penn U of Arizona Boise State Temple Oklahoma State U Tulane Bowling Green Toledo Hawaii (though better than the first logo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to nationalchamps.net the helmet project the Alfred University Saxons used the logo in 2000. Scroll down and check out their historical helmets.
