I actually remember that jacket from the Reedy era. It wasn't coaches gear or anything. I just remember them at sports shops at malls around 93/94.

Incidentally that is the bear that should be our bear logo. That is the dude who should make a helmet appearance.

It would be great to see that on the helmets for a game!

You've gotta credit Gold Reaper for bringing that back.

The Bear was our bear logo from like 69/70 through 97. I was talking about remembering seeing the jackets around 93/94 at some of those places in malls where you could get caps and jackets of some college teams in malls.

Back to the Bear. As I recall a student or faculty member drew him up for the school. It wasn't some marketing firm etc. if my memory is correct. He lasted a pretty long time as the bear logo. Longer than any since and he has been making a return on retro stuff in the past year or two. Quite a legacy for the artist.

My Brother T Rex was able to arrange the handover last weekend. We got the jackets before the 94 Alamo bowl. They are in great condition due to only wearing them maybe twice a year, due to never being cold enough. #winby1

Needs a pair of baggy Zubaz sweats to complete the ensemble.

My favorite Baylor logo. I had it put on my Yeti 75.

Guess I have to subscribe for the pic to show...

My dad found his vintage George's Bar softball jersey from the 70's and donated it to Sammy at George's since they are friends. Sammy proudly framed it and put it on the wall. Then some jerk stole it. Hopefully the same thing doesn't happen to this jacket.

The artist was Joey Taylor who was a student who was known around campus as an artist. It first appeared on a poster for the hype of Bill Beall's first year as Baylor Head Coach.

Joey's bear logo turned out to be the one of the only positive memories of the Beall era. (The other was the great Roger Goree). Fortunately, the logo has survived as the best Bear image ever. Maybe Rhule will talk Baylor into using it instead of the godawful bear painted on the end zone.

What a clever and original response. Such a powerful, well thought out and presented rebuttal. Persuasive!

That jacket looks a size too big for Rhule.

But who am I to question a fashion icon such as CMR !?!

He needs to keep wearing the smock as long as we keep winning. It's OK to wear smock under the coat.

Also on ebay: 1949 Baylor letter jacket

That team finished 8-2 and ranked #20 in the country. And beat TCU 40-14.

Maybe we ought to buy this for Coach Rhule. Even if it doesn't fit him, it would be great for his son.

I'm wondering about the authenticity of that. The letter jackets as far as I remember seeing them just had and still have a B I thought. That looks an awful lot like an interlocking BU which wasn't around until the late 60s. Prior to the late 60s a "B" was what we used as a non bear logo.

It is interesting looking though. Is there any much older poster who can verify that jacket?
