hettinger_rl Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 I am posting some vintage mascot concepts in this thread. Check'em out if you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 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.I can almost understand it when it's someone who actually attended the school before the switch do that; but being from Milwaukee, I'm familiar with guys who were in diapers the last time Marquette was known as the Warriors, but still insist on calling them as such. Of course, it never seems to happen unless the previous mascot was a non-caucasian caricature... no one ever refers to my school (UWM) as the Gulls, even though it's a much better nickname than Panthers.

Spearhead Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 The old Stanford Indian logo has made inroads with some students as well. New T-shirts, caps and sweats featuring him have popped up here and there. You can find some on eBay from time to time.Stephen F.

illwauk Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 FWIW, I do think MU ditching the Warriors name was more than was necessary, but stuffing Golden Eagles down their students and alums throats when they had not one, but TWO historical (Hilltoppers and Golden Avalanche) options that would've made better nicknames just made it much worse than it ever had to be. Either one would've not only been more unique, but would've had the added bonus of shutting down any cries of "But... But... TRADITION!"Of course, making confusing and short-sighted decisions when it comes to athletic identity has sort of always been Marquette's thing... not that my school is much better.

cajunaggie08 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Stephen F. Austin Lumberjack:I have never seen that SFA mark before. Even though its a copy of A&M's ol sarge mark, it wouldn't look bad if they hadn't copied over the T too. The T makes no sense for a school who's initials are SFASU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good source but often poor quality. Logoshak is also a good source and has logos that were originally posted on threads here. Several of my rehabbed logos have popped up on Logoshak, which is fine by me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
