MUW Returns to Athletics with Wise New Look

Radford University goes plaid-ford with new logo set
The Radford University Highlanders of Virginia may be one of the smaller schools that we’ve covered here on the website (even though they’re still Division 1 and members of the Big South Conference), but they’ve recently unveiled new identity for their athletic program that’s definitely worth talking about.

Portland State receives fresh new logo update
Ever since the late 1990s, the Portland State Vikings have used this logo to represent their athletic program.

Clemson Tigers 2015 Phantom Champs Merchandise
No victory stripes for this tiger… Clemson couldn’t quite pull it out last night, alas Alabama rolled on to their sixteenth NCAA football National Championship. But what if Clemson did it? The game was close, it could have easily gone their way. What would their players wear as they celebrated?
Big 12 conference is “concerned” over logo used for Ted Cruz campaign
Once again, a Republican Presidential Candidate has gotten in trouble with one of college sports’ power conferences. Jeb Bush recently caught the ire of the Southeastern Conference when he was selling merchandise with a logo that looked just like the SEC’s logo. Yeah, the images speak for themselves there. Now,
