We are the retro logo champions!

Too bad we sold the rights to Texas on this

Ole Miss would have been formidable if they had used Col Reb and not that weird script name thing

Speaking of old and script, the women's program needs to ditch that ancient and very outdated "Lady Vols" logo. It's terrible--weak-looking.
I think we're the only school in America that has still has separate logos for the men's and women's teams. The Power T is sometimes used by media and others schools who are playing our women's teams, thankfully--but it's basically about people who continue to want to hang onto the Pat Summitt era. They can't move on....The difference between the Power T and the LV logo is the difference between strong and anemic.

Surely we were unanimous in Texas….

For the Gen Z on here that don’t know our nickname means something. We aren’t just named after an animal or nut etc. We are named after Heroes.

This will date me, but I've always like this guy. I believe that George Cafego would, too.

They tried that a few years ago. It was universally panned. Nobody liked the change, so it went back where it should be. The "Lady Vols" Is an iconic brand of its own

Yeah, Dave Hart and Jimmy Cheek discontinued the Lady Vol logo and name for all sports but women's basketball. Most likely they did it out of spite for the lawsuits some of the former women's athletic department employees had filed against the school. They knew they didn't have the juice to screw with Summit's legacy and left it alone in basketball.

All the reports at the time from the female athletes were very negative toward the change. They all were very proud to be considered Lady Vols and of the logo. Davenport and Currie brought it back for all women's sports when they took office.

No win is too small for VN to celebrate. GBO

Always liked the rifleman logo.

Gotta admit though, the design could possibly use a bit of updating. Never really noticed before how dated it looks now-straight outta 1974

Also not sure how it would look on a helmet. There is quite a bit of detail in there (tassels, etc) which would be lost in shrinking the design down.

 

[VOLfrombama]

I think that gray one is bad friggin arse

 

[griffdog14]

The rifleman is perfectly suited for an alternate helmet

I dunno man. To be honest, both helmet logos kind of look similar to a witch on a broom.

Just think it's one of those things that looks cool at scale, but when you start shrinking it-the visual is kinda diminished.
