Does anyone remember the "new logo" circa 1996? It just seems like it never got off the ground. Thoughts?

It looks an awful lot like a PSU decal I got in 1966! But that was fifty-five years ago so my recollection may not be accurate. Any other old timers remember this? If I come across it, I will post a pic.

Looks too much like Pitts panther
Or the Carolina Panthers in particular. PSU does use it on their letterhead, signage, etc. but it’s not nearly as popular or recognizable as the chipmunk logo.

I always liked it, looks far better to me, not sure why it never took off..
IIRC it was because it was hard to reproduce in letter head when printed. I guess the lines tended to fill in.
I completely understand that but I pretty much hate the work around they came up with.

For my first post here, I say Chipmunk. All day every day. Nothing else matters.

Never liked that "new" logo either. Give me this or give me nothing (and that includes PennState in the "worm" font):

I just wish they'd have put the numbers on the jerseys in that font!
Something is missing and it's been happening a lot lately with the circulation of this logo for some reason...

Never liked it. I'm a chipmunk guy. Thought about getting the chipmunk on my calf a few times. The wife always shoots me down.

No love for the Pozniak Lion?
Chipmunk 1a

This is the only one even close. Love it.

The chipmunk logo is just too iconic
Even as a kid I hated the new design. Not because it was new but to me it just looled stupid on gear. Especially hats.

Was this logo ever used in circulation anywhere? I think the Lion Ambassadors or some other group uses(d) it, but was it ever put on merchandise, etc? Would love to have a white hat with that logo.

I thought it was the main logo in the 1974 - 82 era but I may not be remembering well. I can't find any merch from that era that shows it. I know the Lion Ambassadors adopted it but I'm not sure how/when they display it (letterhead?).

That’s what I posted above your post. Just didn’t have the ability at the time to add the image. Still the best IMO.
It was a nice logo no question The oval Lion is still my fav The other mean looking lion was pride of the lion as it was known never really

Guido Delia actually brought back the oval , or athletic logo
