i realize now in hindsight that it may have appeared that i was trying to tell a joke here. i really was just wondering why their logo reversed directions.

Enjoying he thread because my work forces me to be in close proximity to ku fans all day long. Among other questionable beliefs, they think that the Jayhawk is the premiere college mascot and logo in all of college sports. That the thread discusses a national publication's disdain for said logo is very gratifying.

to those getting their panties in a wad over thread topic.

The Jayhawk, originally drawn by KU student Hal Sandy in 1946, can face either right or left.

All powercats should face right but there are a few across campus (on street signs especially) that face left. Or used to at least. Drove me up the wall.

What about the magnets you put on the driver's side of your F-150 King Ranch when you're heading down I-70? Seems weird to have them facing backwards.

he's very good. would be amazing to have that guy still around.

1929 hawk reminds me of the enemies on Mario 2.

Its weird that with each "evolution" it gets shorter and fatter. They should go back to the blue raven thing.

You really have to hand it to the 1920 jayhawk creator. This guy had the courage to end the "bird with shoes" madness. I bet they ran the rough rider out on a rail.

could you guys imagine this dude on a helmet?

PurpleSleezyE · « **Reply #66 on:** August 06, 2013, 12:35:01 PM »

I just came in for a little logo banter during lunch, but what I see here is a bunch of PIing.

I enjoyed it though.

yeah the jayhawk logo pretty much is horrible. even their own fanbase is ashamed of it. "go back to the '41 hawk!" they all say.

but instead they're stuck with a cartoony bird with bucked shoes and trajan emblazoned across its chest.

sad.

It's like the school is trolling the fanbase. I mean, BabyJay for fucksakes....

Here's a novel idea, why don't all you fucktards drop the talk about any non-sports related issues on the football board?!? I couldn't give any less of a crap where any of you stand on civil or gay rights.. This board is meant for KSU football

Who the eff are you and why should anyone care what you want to or don't want to read?

Guys, This should be The Word!

I think you mean F-350 King Ranch. With full truck-nut attire.
