Well here's one we were told we won, but we really lost. Way back in the day, during the reign of Lilley the Worthless, a decree went out that the interlocking BU should be abolished because of confusion between Baylor and Boston University. A great hue and cry arose among alumni and fans and we were told the imperial rescript had been rescinded and that the interlocking green and gold BU, as designed, if not by God then at least by the Apostle Paul, would be our eternal sports logo and spirit mark.

In the last redo of the Ferrell center floor, the interlocking BU was replaced with the arched Baylor word mark. The BU logo does not appear until page 8 of 10 in the mark style sheet and may not be used without also using the word Baylor or Baylor University.

The arched word mark, the Doberman head, the howdy Doberman head and the thrice damned paw appear to be the preferred marks. The word mark is not so bad, but the Doberman and paw logos should be nuked from orbit and their designers banned from putting pen to paper ever again. They are easily as bad as fuzzy green bear.

Equally bad is the institutional Logo that features Judge Baylor's statue sillouetted against the Pat Neff tower (at least I suppose that's what it is). Way too cute and tricksey. Looks like it was designed by an intergovernmental task force. And who but a person well acquainted with BU would know what those things were and associate them with Baylor?

Logos should be simple and communicate with just a few lines. The UT uterus and University of Miami U logos come to mind here. They don't write Miami or Texas under them either.

I realize that nobody asked me, but I'd bet I'm not alone and I just want Baylor logo clothes and hats with nothing but the interlocking BU on them. That is all.

I refuse to buy anything that has "Baylor" , the bear (Chicago style and sailor bear excluded, I like those), or paw on them.

I only buy things that have the standalone interlocking BU.

It sucks that those items are hard to find.

Sounds like the company line to me.

It's a shame we don't have an artist that could draw a bear that doesn't look like a Doberman dog that was a favorite and product of our former ribbon clerk, Ian.

They did a marketing study and Sailor Bear was the most in demand by the alumni base. Looks constipated to me. But apparently that goes all the way back to WWII. Green Bear they won't discuss. Go figure.

i asked Ian once if any of our facilities would carry the phrase "Chartered in 1845 by the Republic of Texas." and he asked why anyone would care about that. Think that was a red flag?

The interlocking BU is simple and should be everywhere, but there is a time and place for the "Baylor" logo. And a place for the "Baylor University" logo as well. As we all know, there is a world of difference between, "State College of the Dilapidated and Bankrupt State of {Insert State} Managed by the Inbred State Legislature and "Chartered in 1845 by the Republic of Texas and Named for the Man that brought law and order(odor?) to this State" The Baylor brand needs to be differentiated from the glorified DMV's we call competition.

And that had better be with Green Letters and Gold trim, that's all I'm saying.

Btw, Corsicana, if you find something you like, call the licensing department and propose it. If they don't have a vendor they suggest, you can find one pretty easily these days. They have been flexible in the past.

University of Calif San Diego has a deal on their campus web site where you design the logo based on the apparel you want, so you choose the polo for example and then your choice of logo.

Rallyhouse has a ton of BU gear. I guess there isn't one in Waco?

I'm not sure if either of these are legit or not. That first pic is literally a sticker on a suitcase that another poster put up awhile back. The second one appears to be a decal, doubt it was any kind of university-owned mark.

You're crazy. The interlocking BU is everywhere. Besides the basketball floor, "where has it been replaced?" That was one of the things that got Lilley fired. Don't think anyone wants to touch that with a ten foot pole.

That looks like a kangaroo drawing where they "played" with the head to create a bear.

I go to quote this to comment on mobile, the screen adjusts and floats up a quarter of an inch (probably loading something), my tap to quote actually hits flag, and now I can't get the flag to unclick. WTH.

The green bear looks like something that needs to be "put down" with a rifle.

After referenced by the OP, I google to see this:



This looks like a cell from a comic or graphic novel. Some mutant that can "flame up" just torched a domed building.

That Pat Neff/Judge logo was a copy of the old BAA logo which was used to tweak the BAA when the spitting match elevated back when. Not a bad look but only Bears would recognize it.

You're forgetting the Ass-Faced Monkey Bear sideline mascot that made its debut at halftime of the 2003 BU-OU basketball game to the sound of groans and snickers in the crowd, only to vanish from the face of the earth like D.B. Cooper, never to be seen again.

To my knowledge no pictures of this hideous creature exist--it's like a Yeti or Bigfoot.

This is not sports related. This is the logo for the university.

Soooooo many options with interlocking BU. Don't know what you're whining about.

I just wish we could agree on what color of gold we're supposed to use! FWIW, I would actually prefer the the bright gold/yellow for all the teams. Yes, even football!

It's ok as long as you combine it with the other usual chores at roundup time.
