HyamesField Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Rebrand for my alma mater Western Michigan University. We aren't sure if we are black, gold, old gold, grey, or brown. I think the Brown and Old Gold is a great scheme and it's time to return to our roots. Enjoy. Uniforms to follow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darknes Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I think the big issue here, is that when I see Brown and Gold and college football with a bucking horse, the first thought is the Wyoming Cowboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleclock Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Not digging that W at all. Asymetrical and poorly rendered. Fix that and then you’re getting somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the thought process behind that. However, WMU's history is what is it is. The whole idea is to return to the beginnings of Western State Normal School. If Wyoming has similar colors then so be it. Maybe a brown and vegas gold color scheme would be better suited for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I am also seeing Wyoming. Both are brown and gold, and with this concept, both use a similar western-looking font. It looks like you directly took Wyoming's logo, erased the Cowboy, and flipped it. Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assure you that is not the process I took Nobody said that that's what you did. What was said was that the logo, along with the color scheme, LOOKS like Wyoming's bucking horse with the cowboy removed. If the university were to actually come out with this concept, Wyoming would sue and win. The colors are identical and the logo is similar enough to cause confusion. That's why sticking with the current colors (the lighter brown and the old gold, with some white trim maybe), would do wonders here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The really great thing about this is that the university is not going to actually do this. This is a fictional concept based on the actual history of Western Michigan University. It's a concept.
