illwauk Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Is there any conference that looks as collectively crap-tacular as the Horizon League? Youngstown is the only one with a good identity. Detroit is passable at best. The rest are just gawd awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc49erfan15 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Radford has been mentioned, but the Big South has a few steaming piles.I can't tell what the tail on the HPU Panther is supposed to be doing. Does it split into two? Is the black part a shadow? To be fair, UNCA's "A" (though I've always seen it as "Av") works well enough on its own, and Gardner-Webb's bulldog could use some modernizing, but I like the idea overall.

Burkell007 Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Compared to what most of those teams in the big south had before( not counting GW that def needs to be updated!) those are upgrades to me.

DCDuck Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 To everyone saying Howard, it's worth noting that HU had their logo in place before the Buffalo Bills adopted their current logo.Dayton, yes. The thing about Dayton is that they have a very interesting team name based on the US Air Force base and museum in Dayton. There are all sorts of possibilities for imagery, but they simply don't use any of it. They also have an awesome-looking mascot:But I don't see him used anywhere aside from the kids' club.Niagara looks pretty hideous. UNC-Wilmington looks like a bank logo. St. Mary's (CA) does too. I'll throw St. Francis (PA) in the mix as well for a desperately-needed upgrade.Tennessee State, featuring clip art of a one-eared tiger from circa 1994:Radford taking a page out of the Dayton "too lazy to create an actual logo, so we use the wordmark instead" book: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was also a two-headed version floating around back then, too, presumably based off their then- or maybe still-existing logo. *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...
4_tattoos Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Regarding the whole Howard/Buffalo Bills logo situation. How does anybody get away with copyrighting someone else's creation? I know that situation happened decades ago, but could that happen now? Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaytonBlue Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Dayton's name is based on the Wright Brothers, but I think DCDuck was trying to say that they could also go the Air Force route because of the base and museum, but instead my alma mater has flying words.

Red Wolf Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Dayton's name is based on the Wright Brothers, but I think DCDuck was trying to say that they could also go the Air Force route because of the base and museum, but instead my alma mater has flying words.I've always wanted a biplane or at the very least non-jet plane sports team. We used to have the Red Barons in MiLB and I've always thought that Dayton should have some sort of biplane or something for a logo.I also hate that Louisiana-Monroe, when changing from Indians to Warhawks, chose to go with bird imagery. Their logos are actually good but, according to Wikipedia their name was chosen for this reason: The new nickname honors Maj. Gen. Claire Lee Chennault, an LSU alumnus, and his Air Force unit from World War II, which utilized the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk in battle, although the logos primarily use bird imagery.A WWII-era plane and pilot logo would be pretty awesome. Heck, they could probably rip-off the Iowa Barnstormers and make it work (they used to rip-off Florida State anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
