You’re a hoot!

We “rock”

Baseball national championship for this hog fan

Please expound

Sure looked better back then

Okay - I’ll give you that the interlocking logo not worthy of MS Paint is a national brand - on the other hand in addition to being well-recognized, the Texas logo is classy

Since we just had the most horrifying mascots (hilarious), how about the most uninspired or poorly designed brand/logos?

OU - why not just an "O" with a bold font? - see Tennessee
UK - why not just a "K" with a better font - see Alabama
SC - Why not a gamecock without the "C" - it's too busy
Mizzou - screams "cheap"
Florida - see above (actually, is not that terrible)

Most of the rest are well done or at least show some imagination

Hate to admit it but in my opinion, Texas has the most iconic logo

Have his autograph and he said “maybe you can play for me someday”. That was 50 or so years ago and I wasn’t even 125 lbs soaking wet. Made my year ……. thanks Coach

Kentucky! Oh, they’re wildcats, sorry.

Come on man.

Arkansas has gone through a milder iteration of this and the Collegiate Licensing Company failed to protect cardinal and white. For a time they actually listed our colors as red and black ….. apparel designers etc. took that and ran with it and now you see it as a background color on TV commercials etc. They still use (crimson) and white in OU and usually Bama’s offerings but use black in ours like SC or worse; little brother Arkansas State. Here, the two largest universities in the state and the UA is using ASUs colors. If someone wanted to file a suit over brand/color infringement as we occupy similar markets, they could.

The big problems happen with programs which have only one main color plus white. The only way I see of fixing things for Arkansas would be to add a third color. Blue (like our flag) would make most sense but people would say we’re trying to look like Ole Miss. Other thoughts might include gold like the 49ers, yellow like the Chiefs (don’t care for them) or USC or silver like the dreaded Buckeyes. We used a variation of silver once to honor Jerry Jones and the Cowboys while playing in Jerry World using cardinal instead of blue and I personally liked them.

Auburn has two colors as does Florida, LSU and a host of others who rarely wear black. As the two color scheme (plus white) looks great - no guessing there.

Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky and the likes continue to have issues.

That’s the only way to get rid of the black unis etc. is to add another color.
