I think Miami (not the real one, the one in Ohio) will have their lawyers calling you by the end of next week.
Looks pretty similar...... Just sayin...

Miami University was founded in 1809, the University of Miami was founded in 1925... so... the one in Oxford is the real one.

I think we're OK with respect to Miami U. Their color scheme is very different from ours. Iowa's was not, and that was an issue.

RE: USM's new logo unveiled
I didn't think it'd be possible, but I like the new one better than the one the Iowa challenged.
The streamlined attack eagle is great, but it's not anymore distinctive from 50 other bird-based logos than the eagle head is, plus the head can be made smaller for embroidery purposes and such and still remain recognizable. This is a case where simpler is better.
As much as I'd like to see it happen, I doubt the football helmet decal changes any time soon. Just spelling out the name & tacking on a few horizontal lines always struck me as lame, but a lot of people who matter love that word mark. It's argued that it makes the team easily identifiable on TV, but in this day & age of sports TV production, if you turn to a game & can't figure out who's playing within 10 seconds without the schools having their full names plastered on their helmets, you're either sensory challenged or a moron.
