Yes, this is a response thread.

But, I had to.

Glad too, also.

Bama's just one BIG TURD FACTORY.

Bama fans have one huge case of elephantiasis of the brain.

Alabama was using the script A by 1958. The Braves didn’t move to Atlanta until 1966.

It took all of a 5 second search to see that the braves moved to Atl. In 1966 and bama was using the script A in 1965. How lazy are you that you couldn't look this up yourself? Now you just look like a dumbass.

No. Did Georgia steal their logo "G" from the Green Bay Packers? You know, the one on the side of the helmet.

Not sure about the A, but I do remember them copying UGA’s lights in 2019.

No, they didn't steal their logo from the Braves.

FWIW, they are not identical.

The difference between the two logos is that uat's logo is an "A" with a mullet.

Bama was using that A WAY before Coca Cola uhh...Atlanta bought the Braves.

If anybody ripped off it was the Braves but they also ripped off the FSU war chant so I'm not surprised.

A Packers team equipment manager under legendary coach Vince Lombardi came up with the team's helmet logo in 1961. He designed the shape of the logo to represent a football and the G to mean Green Bay. A couple years later in Athens, Georgia, Vince Dooley was redesigning the team's uniforms, including changing the helmets from silver to red, according to the school. His idea was to have a black G on a white background on the helmet.

While the Georgia's G dimensions and colors were different, the university still sought approval from Green Bay to use the logo. The Packers granted it. A year later, Grambling State also designed a G logo for its helmet, and the Packers also granted the school permission.




1961 Green Bay



1962 Georgia



1964 Georgia

Does it hurt being of your age, in your professional field, and still missing the mark so often on a basic message board?

LINK I’ve seen old Arkansas “A” logos that are very similar and going way back (when it was Arkansas Industrial University), the logos shared some features with Auburn’s current logo
