DrBear Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 At Wauwatosa (WI) East High School, they're dropping the Indian aspects from the nickname Red Raiders and are offering three choices to vote on:The old logo:New Choice No. 1New Choice No. 2New Choice No. 3(By the way, the TE monogram comes from Tosa East, the shorthand way of referring to the school.)

wildwing64 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 If I had to vote for any of them, I'd have to say either 1 or 3. PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I'd go with option three of the choices given.What I'd really do though is probably just go with the TE logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Ah, my old high school.They unveiled that stupid arrow logo after I gradtuated - had I still been there, I would have submitted a design. Even back then, I couldn't have done much worse.It replaced an Indian head graphic. They considered changing themes then - to a paladin or pirate - but for some reason stuck with the indian theme.As far as these designs do, I find them all uninspiring. the TE monogram doesn't make much sense (does a man named Bill use the monogram "B" or "W" on his shirts?). Slightly bigger graphics:I'm going to vote for either #3 - not crazy about the wordmark, but I like the shield. It'll look good on its own. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

steiny_ramone Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 3, without the cheesy wordmark. But they're all a lot better than the old logo. facespace?http://www.myspace.com/seancalcottmusic http://www.myspace.com/forgottentoys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korkie Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 My fiance's alma mater still uses Red Raiders w/ an indian connotation. They use this logo on several sports uniforms and surfaces: and the football helmet is the florida state spear. This logo is for the "midget league football" team: . The mascot is a student in full Native American gear doing all kinds of goofy "indian" dances.

Tazz013 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 The first two look awful, so I guess I would have to chose three by default. Save the slugalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Are you guys the Red Raiders or the Maroon Raiders? Maybe it's this pc screen, but the logo you guys used to have seems like it's straight red; the three examples you listed all have a much darker shade of red. Just a point of curiosity......Oh--and btw, by default, I also go with #3. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, although I couldn't find a good picture, the football team's helmets are black with a white KC-style arrowhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 #3. That shield lends itself to numerous possibilities, and the sword theme is cool too.

Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 political correctness aside in regards to the native american theme, the school is need of a new logo. All three logos are definate upgrades over the current logo. I personally like 3 myself. Spoilers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 The color is interesting - looks like they're going with a true cardinal, which is the school's official color (the student newspaper is the Cardinal News). Then again, Wisconsin's official color is cardinal, and they've worn candy-apple red for as long as I can remember.Here are the current football uniforms. Not a great pic, but what can you do:Ugh. They didn't wear black in my day....And FWIW, here's the baseball logo:Gives you an idea of what the TE logo will really look like.And just to complete the journey down Memory Lane, here's the logo the school used when I went there, 1986-1990:I had that guy silkscreened on to my shirt when I was on the tennis team....

agentrygraphics Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 For those of us lost (one and counting)....could someone explain why W..... East translates to TE? does it stand for "Tosa East"?

Gothamite Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Exactly.Nobody calls the schools by their full name in conversation - it's always "Tosa East" and "Tosa West".I hate using it in any official capacity, though.

hecticbro Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 That mascot painted on the wall looks like a drunken Indian guy rambling at someone in a bar.... No way could anyone get away with that now, ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
