I know they had a contract and were obligated for a number of years, but is that now over or close to it?

I never see it much anymore..Thank God.

I would love to have been a fly on the wall when they opened that first print after having paid a buttload of money and seen.......



This.....









The fact that this was even signed off on baffles me.

LSU public relations and media personel think it was the one best logo designs ever because it has genertated the most money over any previous logo.

Toonces is on the basketball shorts this season. Seems pretty fitting after that debacle against South Alabama last week.
Even so, I was pretty surprised to see Toonces on the shorts. I didn't think we'd ever see that crap on any of the real uniforms. Oh well.

As Andy said about Aunt Bee's pickles, maybe we should just learn to love it

I avoid buying anything with that confused, hesitant and/or intoxicated tiger on it.

How exactly did Toonces lock himself into a contract "obligating" us for "a number of years"? What's his buyout?

I heard from someone I know in the athletic department that the logo in the OP, especially with the hurricane has been unofficial retired. I read on here once a similar story to what I heard first hand.

The logo with the head and the Geaux font is clearly not retired.

Well someone was smart enough to not put this crap on the football helmets. Now if we can just get the Tiger on the helmut back in production we will all be happy.

this should be our logo for ANYTHING on TV (like the BCS Standings, etc)




This logo is a disgrace and makes me want to vomit. I refuse to buy anything with this logo on it or even accept any gifts with this logo on it:




Another disgrace. There is no reason that we need to see Mike's entire body:




Also fricking hate this font:





While not my favorite, I can at least tolerate the one they are prodominantly using now:

should remain LSU's logo for a good while. Those older logos reek of the 1970s and 80s. The current one is clean and has an NFL feel about it.
