HatManTC Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 i have noticed the recent decline in USC hats with the interlocking "SC". Everything seems to have "USC" spelt out. the only things that i have seen as of late with the "SC" are NIKE products. does NIKE have exclusive rights to this logo now? by RoscoeUA by gingerbreadman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 i have noticed the recent decline in USC hats with the interlocking "SC". Everything seems to have "USC" spelt out. the only things that i have seen as of late with the "SC" are NIKE products. does NIKE have exclusive rights to this logo now?Which interlocking "SC"? The one that they painted at center court at the Galen Center, or the one used by the baseball team (maybe exclusively)? "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17.

GoValpo Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 i know a year or two back Southern Cal was having some issues with South Carolina using a similar looking SC logo, maybe thats the reason for the decline this is the South Carolina logo Go Bulls, Bears, Cubs, and Blackhawks!!GO TIGERS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj32 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I don't remember seeing that logo used by anybody other than the baseball team. There are New Era caps out there with that logo from when New Era supplied the USC baseball team, but I don't think NE is currently making them. It could be that since Nike currently supplies the baseball team they have an exclusive on that logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyvol Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I don't see anything similar in those two 'SC' logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goaztecs Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I have a Nike hat with the baseball SC with the football Trojan head on the back. I do believe that the football team once used that SC logo as well because of old footage of coach McKay wearing a hat with that logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I think you are correct - I do believe that was the University's athletic logo across the board.I love it, and vastly prefer it to the Nike version. I almost wish that I went to USC, just so I could wear this jacket:I've also seen that logo in Ansel Adams's photographs of Manzanar, on the desk of Roy Takeno, who was the Japanese-American internee who edited the camp paper:So we have a little context on the age of the logo - it goes back to at least the 1940s, and likely before.To get back to the original question, I do not believe that Nike owns that logo. They seem to manufacture most of the products with that logo, but being the official supplier to the athletic department explains that. There are plenty of other products bearing the logo that are not made by Nike:So I think that answers the question. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
