footballfiji Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I was browing rivals and an add for Lowe's Shopping Card came up and this card caught my eye:I've never seen this logo before. Anyone have a bigger version or an explanation. I know Swoop is the name of their mascot but I've never seen it have its own logo. Plainsman Parking Lot.

slapshot Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 The Swoop logo has been around for a few years. I don't think it's part of the regular athletics identity, but just for cases when they need to promote the bird.

rtrich11 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I'd only seen the Swoop head before, which looks pretty darn good. I too, would love to see it up close. Perhaps our friend BarnesDesign may have a better copy. Yoo hoo...! Paging Mr. Barnes.You should show us a scan of your credit card while you're at it! cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I found this one, pieced together from Utah's official Graphic Identity Guidelines: Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasrangers13 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I met the mascot "keeper" a while back and he said that University was planning on "pushing" the Swoop logo, and using it in case the NCAA banned Utes. Which of course never happened. credit: Logodawg86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Mascot/Nickname HistoryIn the earliest days of University of Utah recorded history, the students and alumni referred to their athletic teams as both the "Utes" and the "Redskins." The dual nickname was officially dropped in favor of "Utes" in 1972, when college campuses became sensitive to the concerns of tribal members. The University of Utah uses Ute as its nickname with permission from the Ute Tribal Council. Although the University of Utah nickname is still Utes, the school introduced a mascot in 1996, with permission from the Ute Tribal Council. "Swoop" represents a red-tailed hawk, a bird indigenous to the state of Utah. Right now these logos are just for the mascot. If Utah is ever forced to stop using Utes as a nickname, it looks like they have a back-up plan in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Utah Swoop sounds like a WNBA team. oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .
