What was your opinion when your school introduced a new logo?

Offseason thread pretty much. With the rumors of one of my teams, the Dallas Stars, changing their logos, it got me thinking. What was your thoughts the last time you're school changed theirs? For some it was within the last 10 years, others, yeah it was a LONG time ago.

Here's a few recent examples



ALABAMA
Primary Retired 2001

Current Primary



FLORIDA
Primary Retired 1997

Current Primary



GEORGIA
Old Secondary Logo

Secondary Introduced 2013



KENTUCKY
Primary Retired 2004

Current Primary



LSU
Retired 2002

Current



MISSISSIPPI STATE
Retired 2008

Current



MISSOURI
Old Primary

Primary Introduced 1996



TEXAS A&M
Retired 2000

Current


VANDERBILT
Primary Retired 2007

For my two:

Thank God UK changed, the wildcat didnt translate well to apparell and memoribilia... everything looked like walmart shirts.

Frick TAMU's bevel logo. I like the block T or Block aTm. The bevel isn't even correct shading.

The Gators used to sport a smiling Gator character that looked like a blow up Disney dinosaur thingy...with a human inside the costume.

1979 saw Charley Pell as HC and he immediately scratched that crap and gave us a tough mean look. We also instituted the script Gator logo. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the orange unis...but Pell had just left Clemson and I guess the orange was still in his head...RIP Charley.

I liked the old circle-y UF logo with the gator on top and state outline on the bottom. But yeah, the curret Gator head was still kinda new, intro'd AFTER the 96 Championship. I'll have to add that to the OP

I like the cursive Tigers over the block letters.

UGA should've stuck with the down syndrome bulldog. Much more fitting.

I usually feel like the old logos are vastly better than the new ones. Not in all cases though. I don't like many of LSU's logos that involve an actual Tiger. Football helmet logo excluded, obviously, because that one is awesome.

I think the cartoony stuff is better than the stuff that's faux-intimidating.

Alabama's elephant logo is so much like Toonces in style and design it's like the same guy did them. It's that late 90s, early millennial, stylized angry animal look that looks like a pokemon more than an animal to be feared.

This was a 1990's mistake:

From this:


To this:



Thankfully, the new secondary logo will likely be abandoned with the quickness in favor of the traditional secondary logo

Heh. I read your post before replying and maybe that's a good thing, because my first thought looking at the collection was everybody's looks better except ours.

Off on a bit of a tangent: This isn't an original thought, but I'd like to see them wear the MSU-game helmet logo with the Texas border for all out-of-state games. And especially if we ever play Texas again - that would be sweet.
