The AU public needs TWER’s investigative skills to get to the bottom of this logo. The memorabilia shop in the mall has banners featuring old and new team logos, and both LSU and Missouri have this logo on their banner (as does my AU banner). What gives? Probably a public domain image that all three schools have used. Either that or AU’s legal department needs to get the cease & desist letters flowing quick.
Get Aubie off your stinkin bayou chest, breuux.
There was a thread about this on ITAT Premium board this week. Missouri uses the same logo and was the start of the conversation. Auburn and everyone else supposedly stole it from Princeton in the late 40’s or early 50’s I believe.
Runrgal….that’s hysterical!
Haven’t been able to find any Princeton connection yet. If you find a picture, let us know!
Clemson uses it too.
Sometimes I think Clemson actually calls itself Auburn.
That looks like ole Chollie Mac….LSU coach back in 60s….and I was at AU when the little Tiger logo was popular, decals, book covers, etc.
At first I didn’t get the shirt connection. I was stuck on the big “L” on his hat. That would not pass pop culture today.
I have experience making shirts with this logo. It’s Auburn’s. Trust me. With all of the trademarks and protections on it, it’s nearly impossible to use it. Talk to Mrs. Smith in the trademarks and marketing department at the university. Although it would be nice for TWER to investigate and make a history of it. The archives at the RBD Library are even at a loss about its orgins.
Very late to this discussion, but I clearly remember seeing the same logo for Pacific University back when they played football in the “Big West” (formerly PCAA) conference, on an ESPN broadcast circa late Eighties.
