Got me a Shuckers hat while home for break. I've got to admit, it's growing on me. http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag79/hmjones13/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps8e2a9f10.jpg

While its nowhere remotely close to what Ren is doing, the old Alabama script A for what its worth.

As seen here:

Could't find a larger photo, sorry.

Don't know if it's been posted yet, and also won't be playing until next year, but Biloxi has received a Minor League team from Huntsville. As a coast guy, it's a pretty exciting time to be from the Gulf Coast. No word on team name or logo yet though.

Didn't they go with a "Rebel Shark"? Could've sworn they did. Would be an interesting update to see with Colonel Reb.

No they went with the black bear. But just as an on field mascot, and kids merchandise. I would have to say he is not very popular among the students. There is still a Colonel Reb that frequents the grove, no university affiliation, that takes Rebel's (The name of the black bear) thunder.

I would love to see your take on a modern version of Colonel Reb.

Speaking of the Colonel; weren't they going to drop him and go with a black bear a few years ago? What happened with that?

Yes, unfortunately they did drop him. But around campus he is still the favorite of a vast majority of students, and the main logo seen hanging in the Grove at tailgates. The official visual identity of the university athletics is almost exclusively the script Ole Miss for everything.

I would love to see your take on a modern version of Colonel Reb.

How about this old jersey patch from Alabama

It reads, "Century of Champions" and "1892 - Alabama Football - 1992"

Or the "A" From this hat of the Bears?
