Also Alabama was the first college team to copyright its logo, including the script A.

Alabama used the script A when the Milwaukee Braves had caps with a block M.
Correct. Alabama's Script A was copyrighted in 1962.

The Atlanta Braves A was copyrighted in 1987.

Bear Bryant was wearing the script A before the braves moved to Atlanta in 1966. Here's Coach Bryant with Pat Trammel in 1961. Braves stealing Bama's A.

Jatebe i long ago realized the Braves A thing was about Bama hating rather than ignorance.

If people want to hate on Bama thats fine, but make fun of something appropriate like a poor performance.

So you think that's was a nice thing to do? Here Auburn fans are all distraught over their dupmster fire of a season and you take away the one thing that gives them a little pleasure. :catsy:





anyway...The Braves did make their logo very similar to Alabama's but have you seen Arkansas' and the Oakland A's?

Bama & The Braves
