WhoDey42 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Today Ohio University unveiled our "Heritage Line." It is a group of 5 logos that have been used in the past that are being brought back to be available for licensing for merchandise.Our last AD brought in the new logo (the "Attack Cat") and completely got rid of the paw print which really ticked a lot of people off because it was around for so long. But now the new AD is brining it back for retail only. None are going to be anywhere on athletic uniforms.http://ohiobobcats.cstv.com/genrel/082007aaa.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMac12 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I cannot stress how little I am feeling the interlocking OU and the "circle".If the O in the "OU" logo was a normal circle instead of looking like Martinsville Speedway, it would be better.

rynoz10 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I know from working at a college and trying to maintain some graphic consistency that this could be a nightmare for OU. I bet anything that there will be a groundswell from alumni to bring one of these back as the "full-time" logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swilson160 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I can't help but picture this guy with a sleazy British accent saying something like, "I say, chaps, what say we trollop on down to the pub and see if we can't tally up some ...cats!"

I bet anything that there will be a groundswell from alumni to bring one of these back as the "full-time" logo.and that one will be the paw logo. I like it myself, but don't think that it should be appear on any of the uniforms, especially not the football helmets. That's clemson's thing, not our thing. If they put the paw in white on a dark green hat, I'll buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they put the paw in white on a dark green hat, I'll buy it.i'm sure that paw logo has great "history", but there are SO MANY middle and high schools across the country that use such a logo that it screams small-time to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearhead Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Those old school logos are GREAT! There is one that seems missing, though. It was the outline of the state of Ohio with a script Ohio inside with rounded Os.Thanks for posting these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my rationale for why the logo looks as it looks. NCAA Baseball Champions | 2014, 2019 facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harperdc Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 yep, Oregon used a block interlocking UO that's almost the exact opposite of Oklahoma (don't get your UOs and OUs mixed up, non-west-coast-ers!), plus it was usually green too, so maybe that weird-yet-cool interlocking design was done to avoid that.cool stuff, love the cat in the sweater, less in love with the cat face. one of my favorite teachers from high school went to Ohio, I'm sure he'd love the old-school stuff like this.

leedsunited Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I love the sweater-cat.I wish the University of Wisconsin would do something like this - they have some great graphics that are going unused....like the classic, sweater-clad Bucky the Badger logo.

Gothamite Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Yeah, but the classic one, not the revised/simplified one.There are a dozen early variations of Bucky from the 1940s that I'd love to see Wisconsin use at retail.

leopard88 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 <---------------- See avatar for a great example of a logo I would love to see in use again.I bought a window sticker with that logo (or one pretty similar to it) my freshman year of college and never saw it after that.

powersurge Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Am I the only one who is reminded of Snagglepuss?I get a Fritz vibe.That weird Ohio in a circle logo's kinda neat.I'm always a bit weary of cats, wearing college sweaters, standing on their hind legs, with their paw behind their back rubbing their chin. Its a bit too spooky for me. That being said...The generic paw works the best for me quite honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
