I would have included those. However, I'm on my phone and once I realized I didn't include those, I went to edit and it's not allowing me to add options.

Am I missing something or is there really no way to edit a poll?

The Gothic Lion is the logo Food Lion jacked from us.

I just hope that the number of points next to our logo is more than the other teams'. Except in golf.

Most to least (in tiers)-

Swiping Paw Logo
VA State (not in poll)

Shield Logo

ODU Crown logo

Food Lion

Original Big Blue
Race Track
Cartoon Lion

I have one problem with our main lion logo. Once I saw this I could not unsee it. I used to look at our logo and think something looks awfully funky about it. The ears being outside the mane, the thumb on the claw, and the position of the arm. The more I inspected, it looks like we took a bear template and threw a lions face over it. I noticed it after we played Baylor in the NCAA's after my freshman year and haven't been able to get it out of my head since

I so dislike the racetrack design......

Damn you Scuba Steve!...now I am going to look at the logo and hate it even more! You are so right, it looks like a really bad photoshop job...lol

Voted chef hat because it lacks the strange quasi-lion.

The latest incarnation looks like the edgy version of a Doctor Seuss lion. A blob of amorphous mane and teeth stuck to a barrel, judging by the curve of what little of the spine we can see and how fat the neck is.

I hate them all equally.

Im gonna vote but wish I had a photo to look at each one.

Thanks. Sadly enough I really like none of them. Wish we had a line on the vote for none of them.

We're blue OU!

I prefer us to not use that logo. It's good for baseball, nothing else.

What we should really be voting on in a system of logos. The new lion, shield, diagonal and chef hat are all part of the same family. The state logo is part of that system too. Then there is the foodlion, race track, running lion and original. I prefer the new lion family best, but really only like the new lion, state and shield versions within that family. Perhaps if we take the hat off of the ODU one I would like it better. I've always liked the baseball logo too as its very classic and traditional. As such it puts us in the company of some pretty well established schools.
