bigwalk Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Yes, they did have one with the ibis on white, but they replaced the ibis with the U...I actually have one of the old white ibis hats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricaneDavid Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 A lot of people refer to Miami as "The U" hence the U for the logo. I've heard that before, it just doesn't make sense. How many thousand other "U"niversities are there in the US? Maybe around campus they call it the "U", but it's not like any non-fans outside of Miami call it that. If there is something to the old hurricane symbol theory, then I could understand it... but I really think the M caps created in this thread look a billion times better.

Discrim Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 IIRC they wanted to differentiate themselves from the many UM schools around the country, hence the U instead of an M or UM. thankfully, only one school has really copied the concept, South Florida (U shaped like bull's head) A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
