I think that 'wolf' resembles badgers.
Doesn't really look like a wolf to me

NCSUX has only confirmed how pathetic they are. It's going to be a pleasure to kick their a$$es @ their house on 11/23.

I saw a sign on the way to work this morning in someone's front yard that said "This is our STATE" so I guess this is a part of that branding/slogan.
Yup, and that branding campaign was stolen as well...They stole that from Miss. St...

FWIW, the original idea came from ECU. Then New Era hats jumped on it and made them for a LOT of college teams (called Inner State Series). But this is a first (actually 2nd: ODU) where I've seen a school try to make a major logo out of the OBVIOUS rip off of the idea. The fact that it's an in-state rival AND they ripped off the "This is Our State" idea from our entrance makes them even more pathetic. Really, really sad.
That had nothing to do with how we came up with the logo....We actually have a legitimate reason for having the outline of North Carolina on the field....So people will know where the f we are. It is pretty clear where NC State is located.

RE: NCSU ripping off ECU field Logo...
This is what somone posted on WRALsportsfan.com. It is pretty funny.
It's a true triple play of RIP OFFS:
1)LSU video
2)Mississippi "OUR STATE" State
3)ECU midfield logo

I think they're rendition is pretty ugly; BUT, I'm pretty sure UNC-CHeat used the outline of the state with a logo at centerfield a few decades ago. Not to mention others do it, as well (Indiana, Ohio State, Illinois, etc.). Yours is better looking, though.
All they had was the black dot in the state outline where Chapel Hill is. ECU put the badass Jolly Roger on it. Not really a rip off as Indiana is the first I remember putting their state outline on their hoops court, in a plain mode with their initials on it. Then UNC did that and UK afterwards. But state's is just a blatant lame rip off as is App State's. I don't care if they do it, but they have no imagination it appears.
I think that you forgot the University of Illinois. Illinois changes their logos a lot, but I seem to recall this one being used a lot on the football and basketball court for a long time.

With the absolutely pathetic LSU remix, anyone noticed the sun "finds it's home in the eastern sky."? Does the sun rise in the west in NC?

I really don't know whose was first but during at least the 80s the NCSU Wolf, the UNC Ram, and ECU's Pee Dee all had the same pose/style. Not sure how much a "copy" it would be considered...
Wisconsin was the first to do it back in the 1940's. A LOT of other schools copied it.
"The Wiz" did that same walk, too.
"The Wiz"? lol..... nope.... its the George Jefferson gangsta lean. ...want some get some... lol
Its been 3 weeks since I've heard the last part. I better hear it tonight haha
