I don't mind Mizzou's.

I'm biased but Arkansas and Georgia are my favorites.

I think the worst is South Carolina, but it isn't bad by any means.

Speaking of ripping off logos, here's Bama's primary logo from the 50s


Auburn adopted their current logo in 1971

Arkansas football helmets are awesome!


Bama's script A was copyrighted before the Braves ever played a single game in Atlanta.

Auburn jacked Bama's logo from the 1950s.

Think it would be cool if we still used that logo.

Except that the marching band was using the shield AU on bass drums also in the 50s

Did Stabler play for Bama in 1971?

I don't think it's fair to say Auburn stole the AU logo. Plenty of teams have used interlocking letters as their logo for quite some time.

It is interesting how similar these logos are in concept though:

Don't know why people shite on a Carolina's logo. Before I was a student there, I thought it was one of the better and more recognizable logos in the conference. Busy, perhaps, but not a Nikefied shitburger like Angry Smokey or Fat Uga.

Not crazy about Miss State's current M/ribbon. Preferred the Sherrill-era MSU. Baseball MS is fire, though.

That one in the center looks like the Anheuser Busch logo.

ill NEVER understand "Ole Miss." 
The word old without the "d" is Ol'. 
Each time I see their name (Ole), I think , "Olé!", like a matador. 
It's messed up. 



This!!!! And it just sounds and smells of redneck and back woods. They should seriously drop the "ole" and just go with missippi

South Carolina's is pretty darn good IMO.

LSU is worst. Those team colors are terrible.

Ok. First 2 Google searches said 1971. Finally from the Auburn Plainsmen:

quote:

They put it on the Auburn football helmets in 1966,” Housel said. “It almost didn’t last because Auburn had a losing record that year, and a lot of people blamed [that] on the new logo.”


LINK

1966 it was put on the helmets, 1971 it became primary logo for all media

Alabama's interlocking U/A ran as its primary logo from 1952-1958

LSU's team colors came from Mario gras. Green was sold out at the time. The school president wanted blue and white, but he was out of town. When all was said and done, they stuck to purple and gold. The colors of royalty. Now bow down bitch.

I think it's funny, you represent nothing. I wouldn't either if I was a Kentucky football fan.
