I'll say this, I don't dislike the new logo. I will also say that I wish we had gone back to the attack logo from years past.

Not bad, but it is a little stiff. I always prefer logos that have a more simplified design. I liked the one Iowa took away.

"Seymour in shame" logo. Appropriate logo to represent the current state of our athletic department.

You guys could have come up with something better than that. It is better than the one Iowa took back though. I like the one eagle04 posted, minus the "southern mississippi " on the bottom.

Is this the new logo or the one with the whole eagle? What's different about this one and the one you had before? I think the eagle attacking would look good on tshirts.

The problem with this logo is that it's too intricate. All those little details didn't translate well when embroidered onto a cap or shirt. Sized any smaller than about a 2-inch square or when viewed from any distance whatsoever, it turns into just an oddly-shaped blob of black and gold. To that end, the updated version of the attack eagle that was designed along with the retiring eagle head could've worked. For those unfamiliar, look up the 2011 Hawaii Bowl for which we put that bird on the helmets.
I think I actually like the new head better than the old one. This one looks sharper, and the angles make it it look a little more pi**ed off.
It was epically stupid to start plastering the previous logo onto everything before finalizing the trademark. Like or dislike the new one, at least we're rolling it out correctly.

The above is it. Compared to the previous/current one, this one has more black & less gold and isn't as oval-shaped:

That logo would've been great to use. Still don't know why they don't use it. The intramural league at usm uses that modern attack eagle, and it looks great on everything.
The new logo does look very good though. I think it will look great on helmets, if that's the direction they want to go this year.

Reminds me way too much of the ULM logo.

I'm assuming you're talking about the full bird and this one:
If so, yeah, I can see that. They're not twins by any means, but they're definitely in the same family.

Munz with the American said in a chat a while back that there were a few new helmet designs in the works. They could wear purple helmets with flesh-colored face masks as far as I care so long as we never see those half-and-half pants again.
