I reject that "aggressive bear" logo. That came out when Sonny Dykes destroyed Cal football. The "Cal" script is classic, and I love how the full name "California" is in similar script in the end zones.
Let's go Wolfpack! NC State can use its block S + N & C for academics but Tuffy the wolf is where it's at for athletics! That underdog narrative hasn't been true for this past year's athletics! They've done VERY well.
Great stuff! I’ve been a logo geek since I was a kid. I’ve always loved SMU, and Louisville, and the Wake Forest Deacon guy. I wish WF would make him the primary logo and the WF as the secondary. Looking forward to the other conferences.
IDK if anyone else has mentioned this, but VT chose their colors because it was the only color combination not being used at the time, and I think it looks very good.
Nicely done. People used to get confused with the Stanford S and tree and NC State who also used a big red S and is one of the biggest forestry colleges in the country. On ebay you'd sometimes see Stanford player's cards and stuff sold as NC State alum.
NC State has changed their logo way too many times over the last 40-50 years. The current wolf looks almost identical to Nevada's old logo. The diamond nSc on the right @15:20 is the same shape as the diamond "F" at Furman University. Their coach at the time Dick Sheridan brought it with him from Furman.
@@vistatiger7493 That logo was basically a football logo when Sheridan was coach, but it waned after his tenure was over. Tuffy the wolf has been the unifier over the decades, and the university continues to use a few different versions of him. Some are complete throwbacks and I love them.
I'm a Louisville fan, but if I had to pick an ACC logo that isn't Louisville as my favorite, it'd have to be Virginia. Those two sabres crossing under the V is a really classy look.
A surprising thing about Syracuse is they change their nickname from the Indians to the less controversial Orangeman. Not knowing it is very political as it was representative of The Dutch Reform Church
The mascot costume looks meaner and tougher than the actual Rameses? Clearly you have never seen any Rameses fight to breed or just drive away another ram.
I don’t know about Syracuse being dead last but each to their own. I do think Otto, who is in the mascot hall of fame now and the only ACC mascot in the HOF, should be used more.
@@orangeflaws8088 That's because they all copied it. The paw was created by an advertising agency in Greenville SC in the 70's. I guess to copy it is the greatest flattery. Clemson's paw is copyrighted with the tilt to the 1:00 position which was a nod to the start time for all Clemson home football games back in the day. Mizzou's has an "M" in it and is positioned straight up.
I've always been bothered by FSU's logo, and I totally understand what he means by it being busy. It's just graphically not very good. I've always wanted FSU to redesign their logo. The spear used on the helmets though is fire!
