Many on here would be complaining because we are always trying to be different. I think it's great - and it's from an era of BYU Football that was revolutionizing the college game!

I don't understand - and don't like - that "sailor cougar" logo... (w/pics)

How long did you work on this post for? Be honest.

It was pretty easy, actually. No more than 10 minutes

You said it yourself, "back in the day", that actually WAS a BYU logo.

Doubt that. In its heyday BYU wouldn't have associated w/ the sailor cap.

I wonder how far it does go back.

I had a shirt with it in the late 70s

My dad bought me a throw blanket w/ it in the early 80s.

I cast this in the BYU foundry in the mid-80's...my wife always shows it off!

It's not a sailor, it's the old style freshman's cap. That's why so many

I've been wanting to point this out, but figured it was too hard to explain.

Freshman beanies on college logos changed to sailor caps during WWII

D&C teaches that Satan has power of the water, Sailor Coug is here to take

Show me another sailor cap that has alternating blue and white stripes.

Painting a chicken blue & white would not make it an appropriate logo for BYU

That makes a lot more sense

Artistically it lost quite a bit when it got its recent makeover.

link to old vs. new

OldCosmo

That's a simplified version of the old one, too. Which is pretty good I think.

mantis mutu

The old one doesn't have a beard.

I think a human beard influenced the form more than a bit.

I love it and enjoyed seeing those other logos. Thanks!

I'm just not sure if boilerplate retro is that awesome

What, boating on Utah lake isn't enough of a maritime history for you?

Agreed, and while we're at it, let's also make our players stop wearing those

Let's give up our university names, too. All we need is a number, really.

mantis mutu

8/15/15 9:11am

Yep, drop the university names; it would be more unique to use virtues instead

It's totally lame. Embarrassing.

I agree that it's dumb, but people who like it are cool.

Belboz

I obviously like it very much!

Very nice! Is that the old one or the "new" one?

Actually I don't remember....
