illwauk Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I worked on a lot of these marks while at CLC. It was a daunting task to say the least. A lot of these marks were taken from the College Vault books by Whitman Publishing, as well as a number of other resources. Some of them we just flat out made up. I think by the time I left we had recreated nearly 2000 marks for the College Vault program. If you like this kind of stuff, those books are gems.I SO wished my alma mater - North Texas - had been included.They were still using the Hayden Fry "Flying Worm" logo at the time I started going there - along with the Apple Green and Forest Green color scheme...Apple green and forest green...that is a very interesting combo. I like it.I didn't even notice that at first... I thought the Bucks were the only pro or college team that did double green, but it looks like North Texas was doing it even before then.

hettinger_rl Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 The Zephyr hat company has a line called "Refresh" that uses some of the logos we've compiled here and some I've not seen before. The unseen ones are likely not actually vintage from their school (ala the x-line and zhs) but they are so good looking they could've been.They've also changed some of the "sailor hats" to backward snapbacks.http://www.hatmonster.com/searchresult.aspx?KeyWords=refresh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, the two groups learned to assimilate peacefully. However, certain tribes of the leprechaun refused to taint the pure blood and moved north into the forests of Ireland, only to be seen rarely, usually at the same time of a rainbows appearance and occasionally at the factories of Lucky Charms.

Spearhead Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 As a collector of old, often forgotten and lost, college logos, I find this to be a GREAT thread. Thanks to everyone who has posted these great logos, particularly ColorWerx. We did a thread like this a couple of years ago that has a good deal of old logos on it that are not on this site's collection.The North Texas logo above is known to Mean Green fans as "the Flying Worm." and it is from the Hayden Fry era (1973-78). Yes, UNT used two shades of green in those days: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJAnfield Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Apparently an ad was run with that logo recently:Not surprising. I grew up in the South Bay, and we had several family friends who were Stanford grads. They never considered Stanford the Cardinal. As far as they are concerned, they were still the Indians, and would always refer to them as such. When you go to Stanford games, a lot of the grads still don their Indians gear.
