The profile of a lion’s head looks carved out of a block of marble, leaving it with a stoic glare.
You will likely never see Penn State’s Nittany Lion logo on its helmet, which is a shame because it would make for one sweet alternate. Clemson gets bonus points for how lifelike the paw print looks, as if an actual tiger dipped its paw in orange paint and touched a canvas for the school. The paw print logo is so simple but brilliant. Couldn’t the school just have given the hawk a black outline instead? The Tigerhawk is so awesomely unique but gets knocked down a peg for the black oval around it as the school’s primary logo. The two shades of blue and a lion roaring with a crown on its head is equal parts eye-catching, awesome and absurd. If only every Group of Five school had uniforms and a logo as sharp as Old Dominion’s. Changed just last year from a knight wielding a sword to a sword and mask in front of a shield, we salute this upgrade. There’s something about the running hog’s pose that works so well.Ī lot of people don’t even know what Army’s logo looks like. It’s hard to turn a pig into a great-looking logo but Arkansas did just that. As soon as we see it, we can hear the tune of “Take Me Home, Country Roads” and smell the couches burning from here. The “W” and “V” in the flying “WV” logo go together like peanut butter and jelly. While it can be overdone when worn by all 100,000 fans in Neyland Stadium, it looks majestic on that big, bold “T” that demands respect. You won’t find a more polarizing color in sports than Tennessee orange. This logo featuring jagged teeth and a menacing look does just that. If you are going to nickname your team the “Gators,” you need a logo that’s going to strike fear into your competition. Yes, we much preferred the old Florida State logo that didn’t look like a screaming Elvis but FSU’s new logo circa 2014 looks enough like the old one to warrant a spot on this list.
Missouri doesn’t get enough credit for upgrading its logo in 1996 from a block "M" that looked exactly like Michigan’s to a menacing tiger roaring out of an oval.
The block “U” by itself would look fine but the Utes went the extra mile by incorporating the drum and feather around the letter to blend the look and feel of the nickname. It wakes up the echoes of Knute Rockne in his “ND” sweater uniform and all feels right in the world. Like Notre Dame’s uniforms, the interlocking “ND” logo is eternally old school. But it makes this list because you have to love the style, color and incorporation of the North Star, used by seamen for thousands of years to guide them on the water. OK, it’s just a block “M.” But the color combination of maize and blue that makes Michigan’s football uniforms the best in the land also makes the school’s logo Top 25-worthy.
