Can we change our mascot, too? Seems to be popular today.

I've never been high on Walking Bully. I like all these better


The one from the 70's here is my favorite



We also had this one with an M on his hat in the 50's and 60's


A design commissioned for a cowbell didn't come out just right

or at least ask him to consider bringing back the interlocking MSU (and, if necessary Nike - or buy the 17ing rights from Nike) for football. He has clearly shown that he is not scared to make things happen.

Nike only owns the rights to the one specific logo we used during the Sherrill years. We used other slightly different logos throughout the 1980's and one with just the MS and not the U during the 1970's. We could go back to one of those logos, which we still own the rights to, or design a new interlocking MSU logo and there would be nothing Nike could do about it. We didn't drop the interlocking MSU logo because Nike had the rights to it, we dropped it because Templeton wanted to use the M-State logo for everything and he used Nike having the rights to that one logo as an excuse.

How hard would it be to tweak the interlocking logo enough to get around Nike?

In my opinion, that is the route to go. Of course, it's also time for a return to maroon.

to wind up with a logo somewhere in between that one and the 1996-2003 logo.<a href="http://www.nationalchamps.net/Helmet_Project/">

It just doesn't look very intimidating, especially on those white helmets. It almost screams please kick my arse.
