I certainly didn't "grow up" with it. I don't recall ever owning a piece of clothing with the sailor coug. I think it is okay, but in small doses, like as a small logo on some basketball shorts. Don't want it on my hats, shirts, or helmets.

I'm pretty sure the university actually adopted it as it's official secondary logo because so many fans liked it.

Yes, but only as a secondary type logo.

Are those that hate the sailor Coug really young?

WJCougar

8/28/16 10:40pm

I think the younger crowd likes it for the retro nature

I never saw it in the 80s or early 90s

blucoug18

It was definitely around in the 80s.

I still have some 1" stickers from the mid-70s of the "sailor cougar".

OldCosmo

It was definitely around, but not ubiquitous as you seem to indicate.

My teenage sons love it. they asked for it specifically on gear for christmas

Maybe if we make it androgynous the new generation will like it

I'm in my mid 20s...I do not like the sailor coug. No nostalgia factor for me,

Machiavelli

It was never that popular in the 80s. Must be because it's "retro."

BluesBrother

8/28/16 10:41pm

Sure it was

WJCougar

8/28/16 10:51pm

Really? I'm seeing it more now than I ever did then.

BluesBrother

8/28/16 11:00pm

I saw it a lot in the 80s when my brother was going to BYU.

Blue Ghost

8/28/16 11:08pm

Hmmm.... I was at BYU from '82-'87. Don't remember it.

It's a throwback

SausageKing

I much prefer the 80s logo to the alley cat.

Tuskaloosa Cougar

8/28/16 10:57pm

Yes. It is very popular with the general fan base.

No. Never liked it

I like the retro one better than the "modernized" one.

8/29/16 12:42am

I wish we could have the same logo without the hat as an alternate logo

8/29/16 12:45am

I have always liked the sailor cougar logo. I also like the current stretch-Y

sailor cat is awful.

I absolutely love it. My favorite logo by far!

I love the logo

Coug98

8/29/16 5:09am

I like the variety. Out east the blue Y often gets confused for Yale

This is why the cougar over BYU logo is great. No questions who you're represent

Loved it since the mid-80s. Wife wears it, kids wear it, and it's on Royal Blue.

I too love the sailor coug. But don't feel bad Idahocoug, not everyone can have good taste.

8/29/16 6:20am

Love it. It is great to have multiple good logos so that not everything has the

It's ok, but I prefer the cougar over the BYU primarily, then the stretch Y

RUNBYU1

8/29/16 6:28am

Hopefully the NO's are a silent majority here? Cougars... sailing? ugly.

Agaricus

It's cute. So when you want to associate cute with BYU, there's your logo.

flyonawall

8/29/16 8:07am

So you are saying give shirts with this logo to every byu coed? I agree.

DesertBlues

8/29/16 8:58am

Yep. Freshman Sailor Coug in pink for my daughter? Sure. None for me, thanks.

flyonawall

8/29/16 11:29am

Love it.

DesertBlues

8/29/16 8:56am

I like it as a throw back or accent to the stretch Y
