Clemson literally has a graphic featuring Mike the Tiger on one of their locker room walls

A few years ago when they played at Auburn it looked like the A Day game. At least they wore their Orange unis for that game.

Tennessee stole the arches from McDonald's. They may have also stolen some drugs.

Clemson is modeled after Mississippi State

That's about as blatant as it gets.

One school bucked the trend all these many years. Penn State took the numbers off their helmets and stripes off their pants in order to concentrate more fully on the sport of football. After JoePa's death, O'Brien allowed the players to actually put their name on the back of their jersey. But since Franklin, they once again decided they should remove names to honor the no-frills, no-thrills, gridiron tradition. No wonder the elite recruits are lining up at State College.

Clemson hands down. They play tiger rag, wear purple and also call their stadium Death Valley. We settled all of that though.

I got it. Very nice post Vice.

Texas
Orange official color - Tennessee (1891); Texas (1899)
Interlocking UT - Tennessee had it first...settled with Texas to allow them to use it West of the Mississippi (1986).
Power T - Tennessee started using it in their logos (and on their helmets) in 1964; Texas started using a version of it as an alternate logo in 2000.
I will concede that Tennessee owes the "Volunteers" moniker to Texas. If Tennessee hadn't sent 30,000 volunteers to keep it from being North Mexico (when President Polk only requested 2,600), the Vols would probably have some generic cat mascot.

So far plagiarism would be hard to convict in a court of law. Georgia should be safe. The only place they could have stolen that helmet decal was Green Bay.

Auburn is the oldest ripoff of Georgia. They are the Mountain Lightning of colleges

All of them, honestly.

But then they further stated in the Clemson charter that all head coaches, ADs, assistant coaches, even rock icons, must be ex-BAMA players and alumni, when available, to ensure some semblance of relevancy in college football. Hell of a gameplan.

Texas
The shades of orange are entirely different, and you said yourself: the interlocking UT and Power T are both secondary logos of Texas and the T isn't even the same. As far as I know, whoever has the right to go by "UT" is far more important to volunteer fans than it is Texas fans. We typically just go by "Texas" and almost never "UT"
The real ripoff? Indiana of OU:

Oklahoma and Indiana's helmets have really been closely linked over the years.
Here is the summary over the last 60 years or so:
White helmets with red numbers on the side:
Indiana 1959-1961; Oklahoma 1962-1965
Indiana Solid Red Helmets with no logo - 1962-1065
Red helmets with Letters on Side:
Indiana 1966-Present (3 years with black helmets ;97-2000); Oklahoma 1966-Present

Ok...from "The history of The University of Texas at Austin" the site uses "UT" 29 times on the page.

Lol well sometimes it gets confusing using "Texas" when you're talking about either the school or the state.
Again, it's much more cherished by the Tennessee fans than it is by the Texas fans. Or at least, y'all get wayyyyyyy more offended by us using it than we do by y'all using it. Which is definitely evident by you having to go to our website to try and point it out lol
