I call shenanigans on Michigan and Notre Dame!

And speaking of block letters, Navy's is actually cool.

[All About UNT]

as the son of two Spartans I can do nothing but agree.  Michigan State has the best overall logo out there. It invokes fear and embraces a warrior culture known to be the baddest mofos of their era.

[UNT 90 Grad]

Props to Old Dominion for representin'.

[aztecskin]

Drop Utah and put ours there. Our logo is a great design. Just need the success on the field to boost the notoriety. 

[untjim1995]

I think K-States logo is weak, actually.

[MeanGreen_MBA]

I would throw Oregon, Boise St, Arizona St, South Carolina, USCahead of several on this list. Texas may be my favorite as far as recognizability. 

[Rudy]

The only thing the tu logo has is its marketing.  that "burnt orange" is a terrible color.

[3XL]

Worst on list Washington State.

....best logos for us to to study #23 & #4...simple, timeless & collegiate.

[NT93]

"Striking but understated, strong but subtle and just all-around awesome. And after years of endlessly toying with the shade of green, Michigan State North Texas finally hit the jackpot."

 

Seems to be an apt description of the SOW.  I may not be totally sold on our shade of green, but I'd prefer we stick with it and not change the shade ever again.

Mizzou? really??? the others are mainly fine, but Mizzou's is unbelievably boring to me...

 

Give me ASU or Oregon over them...

Yeah I always think it looks like one of the generic clip art logo options sports games give you for created teams.

Maybe they don't count this year, but I've always liked UAB:

 

As for Texas, they get the love simply because they're Texas, but all I ever see is: 

  

 

Edit:  My teenage daughter, currently a Fighting Farmer of Lewisville, who would have guaranteed admission to Texas if she wanted it, said, "Tell me how it's an improvement to go from being a farmer to being a cow?"

I had a little internal wager on whether or not you'd show up to pimp your "design."

I should give myself a cookie or something.

[untjim1995]

The logos that I really like are Air Force, Navy, Army, Michigan State, LSU, Notre Dame, North Carolina, Texas, OU, Kansas, Colorado, Texas Tech, Baylor, Penn State, UTEP and our very own Flying Worm 2.0 that we now use.

I think that Mizzou, Alabama, K-State, Iowa State, UTSA, Purdue, Okie Lite, Oregon, Washington State, Arkansas, and Kentucky are anywhere from bad to just terrible...

It looks like she may have picked up some of her dad's wit.  I like.

Ive always loved Oregons old Logo

[LongJim]

• Nice to see OD in there, but I think their logo is not even top 50.
• If UNT will leave their logo alone, I believe it *will* be on a top 25 list at some point.  The current diving SOW is great.  It has potential to become iconic.
• Agree with a lot of the list otherwise.

[Cowtown]

anyone notice the helmet Allen is throwing down this year...that eagle looks familiar

old school eagle

ODB logo is no bueno, Too busy to reproduce on a small scale.

If I'm correct, the Iowa logo was introduced by Hayden Fry, so I'd say it owes it's inspiration to the Flying Worm.  And similarly, the K-State logo, since Bill Snyder was one of Fry's assistants here, and at Iowa.

Interesting that Washington State's logo is popular again.  Not too many years ago it was considered terribly dated.  I guess it's the general nostalgia for the 70's.

So, given all of that, maybe we should go back to the "Worm"?!

I think Washington State's thing has something to do with their ubiquity amongst the "College Game Day" Saturday morning show, and the commitment to have its flag represented wherever possible. It's sheer volume of exposure, and now a bit of lore.

Love this Idea!! Or throw it into the rotation of like 4-6 games

I think we should find an opportunity at least once a year to break out those Centennial uniforms with the Flying Worm on the helmets.

I love this look...would like it even more if the green matched, but that's another subject

Yeah, I know what they were doing, which was including elements from different eras, but I think it would've looked more cohesive if they'd outlined the eagle with the dark green, and then put lime green accents on the jersey and pants. Still, this logo speaks to me, and I wasn't even around when we used it.
