anything to get rid of that terrible beaver

/gay guy.

[JQK]

I just hope it's not a Mac OS...

[leedsunited]

I miss this guy:

And can I just say that the font up there looks horribly amateurish?

[Sport]

Good to hear that thing is going on the baseball hats. The OSU logo they had on their previously was terrible.

[leedsunited]

So apparently they are retaining that beaver head logo as their primary. More mismatching fonts, the cursive "Beavers" and now this new wordmark. Can't anyone get some sort of consistency with their identity packages anymore???

[leopard88]

Can I just say that I think the T and E should also have arched (?) top and bottom lines so they are consistent with the other letters?

I can? There, I just did it.

Your are correct in that they should be arched. "Leedsunited" is also right in their new mismatchness.

I second that.

It looks like wat you'd get if this and this screwed... haha thats my opinion.

(It also kinda reminds me of this)

Orange and black interlock on a baseball cap? Check

Yeah, you're a couple of decades too late, Oregon State.

And of course, recent success is a perfectly acceptable excuse for lack of originality.

Oklahoma State has a national title of their own, as well as a slew of other honors. Oklahoma State has one of the top baseball programs in the country, with a resume including an NCAA record seven straight CWS appearances from 1981-87 (19 CWS appearances overall), 19 straight NCAA tournament berths (35 overall), 16 consecutive conference championships, but I digress...

FWIW, those pullovers are part of a set of throwback uniforms from the Pete Incaviglia era that the Cowboys will wear this year. Personally, I hate pullovers - one of the worst fads to ever hit baseball - but I guess one positive in this case is that we didn't sacrifice accuracy for fashion's sake as is the case with a lot of throwbacks.

The font actually looks kinda similar to this:

What do you think?

Eh, a little but they are definitely different. The S especially. The OSU S has "pseudo" serifs

[Frylock]

Ugh... I hate it. I loved the OSU cap logo and the Red Sox-ish font they were using. Thanks Nike. Thanks for f***ing-up another team...

And before anyone says that Nike had nothing to do with it, need I point out what appears on the Morrow Creative Group homepage?

Former Nike Creative Director Michael Morrow and his team of senior level designers

redefines and repositions brands by developing comprehensive visual language strategies that define their visual look and feel, or visual DNA.

Huhrumph...

[Krona]

I always liked this one. they still use it at the campus entrance

Sorry but Oklahoma State was also too late.

Most like because the Giants were a team before Oklahoma was a state.

None of this OSU-OSU sparring really matters because those of us who frequent this board know--or at least have been told--that the University of South Carolina is superior all other schools!
