Super Pit Court Design Vote

I think the battle flag might give a sort of Eastern Washington/Boise State home field/court advantage but I think the diving eagle looks better.

So when did the SOW become the diving eagle? Is it only considered the SOW on football helmets?

On topic: I prefer either of the mock-ups by the two members here over any of the three actual choices (which I like). Great job guys!

LOL - That's too funny. I'm imagining our marketing gurus pitching products emblazoned with "the Son of Worm" on them. "Diving Eagle" is what the university has officially called it for at least several years now.

Of course, we're going to keep calling it SOW anyway.

I thought "SOW" was a GMG.com thing.
I don't think I've ever heard anyone from the Athletic Department (RV's tenure, or WB's tenure) call that logo the "SOW", or "Son Of Worm".

Yeah that's just you buddy. Son of Worm refers to the previous logo, and considering brands don't like to host many Throw Back Thursdays, they're not going to reference an old, outdated logo.

Granted, I think the old logo is legit as a throwback, but nobody asked me.

Going to step on some toes, but the "light the tower" is so "UTish".

I guess this was more my point. I knew SOW wasn't the "official" name for the logo, but it's all I've ever seen it called here on GMG.com. I guess I never consider that the logo had an official name.😁

I appreciate the replies. Guess I've learned a little something.

It started out as a show of respect to our past,..and especially to the alumn who invented the “Flyin’ Worm’, Mr. Rick Spears. Mr. Spears posted here as GreenGrenade. He passed away back in 2016 I believe. He was one of our greatest and most talented fans ever.

I wish they had not put such a cruddy looking floor with the eagle. They should put a smaller eagle in place of 'North Texas' on the one with the building.

Yes, i agree. The tower floor is clean. the Texas outline and diving eagle look great.
