LMU Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Seems they should just pull the trigger and be the William & Mary Griffins already. The "Tribe" name with the feathers on the "WM" logo at least connected. This is just disjointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 The eagle-griffin thing is whatever, but that W&M emblem is capital. I'd make love to it after a tasteful dinner and a bottle of expensive wine.

WSU151 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 The griffin logo would look better without "Tribe" and more wing detail instead. Kinda sad that the script "Tribe" is out - that's been on helmets for most years since the 80s. I'm not sure the verticality of the W&M mark will make for a good helmet logo. I like how they've kept the tradition of the mirrored W though to create the M. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

JonBoy Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Wow, I'm from Virginia and my alma mater used to be conference mates with W&M, and all I can remember are the Tribe wordmark and the WM with a feather logo. I never knew they had a griffin mascot. Seems very weird to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Not sure I like how the W is an inverted M. I don’t love it when the point of a W goes all the way to the top like it does.

I think it's always been mixed, and it probably has to do with the Greek origins. When you're borrowing from a language that doesn't use the same alphabet, there's some artistic license involved; you see the same thing with Russian words (you, of all people, probably have experience with this).
