the dawn of tradition...begins now. Expand the Brand

jquincy...the point is...for our Athletic Dept. to push for an additional NT logo to our current brand assortment. Do we want to look & brand more like P5 school or G5 school? Add the same NT that is used on our letterman jacket. That way North Texas can use it when and where as needed. Question: What logo do the schools, that you listed, put on their baseball team hat? Answer: Texas = T, Florida State = interlocked FS, Southern Cal = interlocked SC, Clemson = C, Michigan State = Spartan Head or S. Ole Miss = M, Florida = F most schools have a good lettered logo...whether its one, two or three letters doesn't matter. Looks more collegiate. expand the brand

right...did you read where I already said that...

Eagle Mans top 12 collegiate logos are all P5 schools...with one exception to SMU the lone G5. (the church boys in Dallas can thank the Ford men in Detroit for designing their Mustang logo) These logos are simple, balanced and easy to identify. They all have traditional college look and feel.

top 12 D1 football schools with interlocked sports logos. (all are also P5 schools) 1. Notre Damn - hands down the king of college football cool & tradition. The Fighting Irish are the undisputed champs of branding & marketing. We should take note of how they use their ND. 2. North Carolina - #2 is no schlump in regards to marketing & branding. NC is similar to North Texas in name...if we could only emulate how well they use all of their logos...the NC, Tarheels, ram & spelled out North Carolina. 3. Auburn - this SEC school uses the symmetrical balanced A & U perfectly...we could do the same with our N & T. 4.Southern California - uses 3 logo approach with trojan head, USC & SC. Uses where each is a best fit and with zero brand confusion. 5. Texas Tech - there is no mistaking when you see the Double T who it belongs to. Looks great on a helmet, flag, letterhead, hat, golf ball or cooler. 6.Oklahoma - college tradition runs deep in the central plains. Their interlocked OU will never go out of style. 7. Kentucky - SEC and national basketball giant...choose to look like a traditional college team with their UK. 8. Georgia Tech - the buzz flying around this ACC school is that they love their GT logo. 9. Virginia Tech - looks like an updated VT from the 80s but still very well designed. 10. Baylor - sic-em & amen...the bears use their classic BU for football helmets, baseball hats, car emblems and flags. 11. Colorado - the Buffs interlocked logo is primarily used with-in the buffalo silhouette. It looks great on all sports or school related merchandise. 12. West Virginia - has a throwback funky 70s Van Halen vibe. Eagle Man says this and the Virginia Tech are his least favorites...but still look kick ass on a helmet and sports gear.

Eagle Mans Top 12 Worst D1 logos 1. Western Michigan - they took the NFLs worst logo/uniform (Denver) and brought to D1 college in brown. 2. Western Kentucky - Hand & Towel...really!?! the only thing missing is the lotion bottle. 3. Washington State - 1 of the 2 P5 logos that made the list...the bigger schools have a much better handle on what looks good. WSU put their initials into a "stylized" cougar head. End Result = a P5 designed mess. 4. New Mexico State - Sun Belts enchanted team with way to much going on...hard to read verbiage and bad design. 5. South Alabama - this logo on their white helmet gets lost...plus looks like the Alien baby popping out of a stomach. 6. East Carolina - good football team...bad logo. There are good ways to have a little pirate thing going and bad ways...they chose poorly and went with the bad High School design. 7. Troy - again too much going on...hard to read and see. also they are stuck with maroon...worst color in sports. 8. Southern Miss - hey...1982 called...it wants its VHS tapes, walk-man and logo back. Their name spelled out eighties style stinks. The only thing that could make this helmet worse is if they chose a 80s white face-mask. 9.UAB - poor UAB...their team is gone and that makes Eagle Man sad...but their logo looked like it belonged in the NFL Europe league. Eagle Man doesn't like dragons in his books, movies, games or football helmets. 10. New Mexico - poorly designed wolf/word logo. Too much going on. Looks like it belongs on the Albuquerque Arena League team helmet. 11. Nevada - yes..good team...but they got way off track designing their crazy wolf head. The stretched out head with internal lightning strikes stink. Extra Penalty for double horn stripes on their pants. 12. Kansas State - Stylized wild cat head...again not Eagle Mans favorite (see #3 and honorable mention Texas State). They do get bonus points for overall good uniform looks...with no horn stripes, black shoes & socks. to sum it all up...the G5 schools need help and the P5 schools "get it".

flying backwards....hope they fix that...looks great otherwise...

This weeks digital postcard brought to you by the 2015 AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic, Art Briles & Mark Dantonio. One school is big...the other is small...but these two green teams are mean. They both know how to ball on the field and market off it. Yes...there are Spartans and Bears but not on "everything"...they use multiple logos & marks with zero brand confusion. Eagle Man strongly disapproves of MSUs current horn stripe on their football helmet...says its a goofy & flawed look on a rich traditional STATE of cool. Expand the Brand

This week's digital postcard brought to you by the PAC12 & Phil Knight. I'm pretty sure Nike, uncle Phil and the PAC12 know how to "brand". Eagle Man says...we need to step it up...and start to out-brand, out-recruit, out-play, out-everything the CUSA competition. perception is reality... Expand the Brand
