Atleast the interlocking USC.

Grossest logo we've ever had and should never be associated with any USC sport, much less the baseball program.

I don't think the logo is bad, but they should have added the Block C or the interlocking SC somehow, I agree with that.

Hopefully some incited SC art major student will add the logo to all the logos around the park.

I like the stadium logo. My post was directed at the interlocking USC logo comment.

Maybe he meant the interlocking SC logo, but frick the interlocking USC logo

I always hated it.

I was referring to the Baseball SC logo.

You're right, the interlock USC is dumb.

That is the worst logo we have ever had. Lou loved it.

... but SoCal did not - and we lost the law suit.

That's the real reason we don't see it much anymore.

I like the interlocking SC much better.

What I don't like are the flat-billed hats. Mine don't stay that way for long. I'm usually bending the bill the moment I get in the truck and pull a new hat outta the bag.

Flat bills are a fad for the younger generation. Not a fan myself, and I am only 30.

That logo is legit. The black hats with the Yankee Grays are my favorite uniform combo in any Gamecock sport.

I thought the lawsuit was about the baseball logos since both use an interlocking SC?

It was about both, among other things. But after SoCal won we cut a deal whereas we no longer licensed the interlocking USC but we were allowed to continue use of the interlocking SC for baseball related apparel.

Years ago Paul Dietzel warned that we needed to copyright and trademark everything ... but no one listened. Everyone else of note did it but it was new territory i for universities in those old days and our powers that be thought it a waste of time, money and effort.

It's another example of poor leadership that hamstrung us back then among our BoTs and our Presidents. We were not forward thinking enough. Not competitive enough within our decision making apparatus. We're finally catching-up ... but we're still catching-up.
