Sadly it is a mixed understanding of that moon.
Everyone calls it the Palmetto and moon because that's what it looks like however it came from some type of helmet decal on the uniform from Revolutionary War soldiers from SC which said "Liberty" on them. With that said it is believed that the collar was supposed to be a crescent moon. (which in itself has a history which I'll spare before tl;dr)
But yes, we added it to our football field a few years ago. A welcome addition.
