As long as their RB Franklin signs with LSU next year, we'll call it even.

Floating head toonces is not an awful logo. I dont like it for LSU, but it looks good for other programs such has HHS. Now, driving toonces with his paws out is a disgrace

I feel like I remember reading that some high schools pay universities like $10 a year for the right to use logos

They should sue LSU for bringing that disaster into the world.

"Angry Umatilla Ready To Take On Um's Hurricanes
May 31, 2003|By Mike Bianchi, Sentinel Columnist

Running off at the typewriter . . .

Since reporting in this space last week that the University of Miami had fired off a "cease and desist" logo infringement (the U on the helmet) letter to little Umatilla High School, irate readers have taken action. An embarrassed UM booster has offered to purchase all of the high school's leftover merchandise with the old logo on it, area attorneys have offered to take the case to court and try it pro bono, and the local chamber of commerce is drafting a letter of protest. The message is clear: UM better back off because it just picked a fight with Umatilla the Hun. . . . "

ST. AMANT, LA (WAFB) - The company that licenses college and university logos has ordered a Louisiana high school to change its brand. Officials said the gator logo St. Amant High School uses looks too much like the one used by the University of Florida.

Every time I see that logo I instantly feel like I drank a glass of bleach.

Yep, when I coached at Starkville HS, we were sued by Ga. Tech for using their Yellowjackets logo. We had to adjust our and buy new suits.

When I played at New Mexico State we had to change our logo as it was too similar to the Oklahoma State logo. There was always an argument over who come up with it first but we caved in. Now we have a 90's porn star Pistol Pete abomination.

Pretty sure U High had the U logo (Miami) for a few years but had to go back to the old logo.

How is that Toonces if he doesn't have arms to drive?

Hattiesburg has basically had the LSU helmet as far as I can remember. They were in our district in high school.

I always suspected that was the result of a prank by a few HSers who forged Cease and Desist letters sending them to U-High (Miami), EA (San Jose State), and St. Amant (Florida) that administrators took seriously.
