This beauty came about in 2006. I hope they paid a 3rd grader $5 for this design.

This was their old logo: Can someone tell me why they had to go away from this?

I agree that new one is as bad as the Wake Forest Microsoft Word 97 football helmet

I actually have a black t-shirt with that logo that I bought when I was in Hawaii in the late 90's, about a minute before the rainbow/gay pride thing became widely known. The t-shirt has stayed in the dresser for a good while now...

The old logo is good. The new one isn’t terrible but very generic, and they’re a team with a mascot you can do lots of work with.

But surely there are worse logos out there.

One color is cheaper to print than two. That’s all I got

I mean...



I had this leaked to me back in 2002 (I think) a day or so before it was released and we ran with it on Tiger Roar...and it got ripped to shreds. they started defending it in the AD's office before it even came out.

That is just the thing...it is too generic. Letters in a rectangle? I do not have an artistic bone in my body and am very left-brain and that logo looks exactly like something I would design. That is how I know it sucks

I don't see what is so awful with it. But at least it isn't a rectangle with 3 letters in it. There is some semblance of design there.

1- Cross eyed
2- Short arms at bad angle
3- Unnecessary bullshite behind Mike
4- Wildly unnecessary outlines and drop shadows for the text

They then altered it to try and make it "better."



Then lost the body.



then they finally gave up and reworked the old circle Tiger head and presented something better.

Anything with a black drop shadow is usually a good place to start on the list of bad logos. Also not a big fan of bevels.

Yea, I always thought J State had one of the worst logos ever at any level in any sport.

I thought they were unique to Hawaii and really liked them.
