ECUFan25 Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 They've clearly never seen an oriole.Heh, that was what made me start this thread! I was looking for good oriole reference images and stumbled across that UGLY picture way down at the bottom after a couple or so hundred images scrolled through and I was like, .Man, I have got to show this to the CCSLC', and here it is.Well...In Arizona, we had Perry (Purdue x Penn State): Ironwood combined the Eagles head with the Seahawks wraparound: Apollo, in the same district, put North Texas's swooping eagle with Army's A: They musta spent all they're money on drinking water, not graphic designers then.

pianoknight Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Here in Eugene, Oregon they apparently like to mimic the Big Ten (and teams from the Big Ten "region" like Notre Dame). I realize some of these are more egregious than the others, but collectively, watching HS football here in Duckville is like watching the B1G thrown into a blender.Sheldon High School (Irish) not only rips off TWO schools, but two schools with a halfway decent rivalry - Notre Dame and Michigan State:Meanwhile, neighboring Marist Catholic goes a step away from this ND-MSU dumpster fire and decides to call themselves Spartans... but they throw gas on the fire with this logo:Willamette High School doesn't quite rip off a logo, but they continue this Big Ten mixup nonsense, by calling themselves the Wolverines (see UM logo above) and then use a logo that's clearly a few steps removed from Wisconsin:And finally, we can't forget the North Eugene Highlanders, who can't decide whether they're Nebraska with grey trim or Nicholls State without a sword: 5th in NAT.

emberstudio Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Why do so many high schools do this? I could sort of understand it back in the pre-Interwebs days, it was harder to get access to resources for original designs. But today, I just don't get it. At the very least a school can go and grab a stock design and, while not necessarily unique, it's at least not a rip-off of a well-known team logo.

Gothamite Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 There's this mistaken impression some people have that if you take a copyrighted logo and change it a varying n percent, the new design is yours. Complete nonsense, but it persists. So I think some schools feel they can have a professional-looking logo by starting with one and changing it just enough to make it theirs. Willamette High School doesn't quite rip off a logo, but they continue this Big Ten mixup nonsense, by calling themselves the Wolverines (see UM logo above) and then use a logo that's clearly a few steps removed from Wisconsin:That's actually an improvement on the motion-sickness W. I'd like to see Wisconsin steal this, for once. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see Wisconsin steal this, for once.I can't disagree. I actually like it better, too, but you can't deny that the drop shadow and the slight curves in the serifs are totally Wisconsin-styled. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.
