Well no one really stands out as being particularly better than the rest in the Pac 10. If I had to say which one is the worst, I guess I'd have to say Washington State. But it's by no means horrible. As for the SEC, I'd rate South Carolina best and Vanderbilt worst.

[J Sick]

Big 10:

Best: Purdue

Worst: Mich St.

Are you saying the Michigan State "S" or the spartan helmet. Because if its the "S" then Penn State would also have to be there. By the way, I dont think there are any bad logos in the Big Ten, but the spartan helmet is, by far, one of the best.

well the big 10 and the pac 10 was the 2 hardest ones to do.......when i think of penn st i think of the lion head, and i base mich st. on S and the Startian, its kind outdated, i mean look what San Jose St. did to improve from that same logo a few years back

Oregon State's new logo is garbage. it looks a lot more generic and just flat-out isn't aesthetically pleasing. my parents and a lot of my family are Oregon Staters, and my parents have a strong preference for the older Benny Beaver logo they used up until the mid-90s.

as for Oregon...I love our current O logo. it's simple, classy, modern, and representative of the university (bet you didn't know that the outside is the shape of our football stadium and the inside is the shape of our track). I do miss the old Donald Duck logos, and I wish Nike would give us some seriously hardcore throwbacks (I'm thinking a '94 Rose Bowl year throwback would be well served ) but it's definitely not the worst logo in the conference...

...that'd have to go the Washington Huskies, simply because it's purple and gold and the Huskies

[andrewharrington]

i mean look what San Jose St. did to improve from that same logo a few years back

If by "improve" you mean "make ten times worse," then yes, San Jose State "improved" on the Michigan State spartan head logo. Honestly, do you have eyes? San Jose State made an ancient historical piece of fearsome battle equipment look like a pineapple hat worn by a drunk boater at a Jimmy Buffet concert.

To which new Oregon State logo are you referring?

You are correct calling this trash

But this new Benny Beaver

Is much better than the original

Andrew, I resent that remark. We look way better than that at the concerts. Do I need to show pictures?

Besides that I agree with you.

ACC:

Best: Maryland

Worst: Clemson

Wow, were you stoned when you wrote that? Probably one of the most ripped off logos in sports is the classic paw and Clemson was the first to do it. I thought maybe you had these backwards by accident.
