College athletics identity changes

Whenever I see a college that just uses "State" like Mississippi State or Michigan State (or like N.C. State back in the 70s and 80s), it reminds me of old movies or TV shows where they never say where everyone lives and some character talks about "going to State".  It usually seemed to be a teenaged boy talking about going there to play baseball or something.

 

I guess this is the much older version of the Fansville concept.

This immediately made me think of the original Wonder Years.

Probably a good thing there's no Wisconsin State University...around here the context of going to state usually means a high school team/athlete heading to Madison (or elsewhere, but usually Madison) for the state championships.

Mississippi State, though...c'mon, man.  Is their AD Sheriff Boz?  They seriously should have rethought this, either that or just shrug and stitch on some Dr. Pepper patches on their uniforms.

Not to date myself, but I thought of watching Leave It To Beaver reruns in the 70s and 80s.  😛

George Mason's previous logo set was stuck in the 2000's and they definitely needed something new. This though, is not it. Very uninspiring. Not just for athletics but I don't even like it for academics.

R.I.P IUPUI, Hello IU-Indianapolis 

What’s worse, having a way-too-long acronym or one that is also a fertility procedure?
