Pipes are in nowadays? very strange... It was like the Pistons chess/horse head logo. They'll change back.

doesn't exactly have the strongest of hairlines
December 2nd, 2013 at 7:14 PM ^
Of someone blocking a kick...
December 2nd, 2013 at 7:14 PM ^
Whoa. Okay then.
December 2nd, 2013 at 7:14 PM ^
In fact, I'd say it's HOT! HOT! HOT!

The courage to follow the guitar solo with a sax solo and then an organ solo made the song truly special.

It's what they used until they got the logo in the 1990s. Apparently.
December 2nd, 2013 at 7:19 PM ^
....because the story is on their athletic department website here (LINK). From that release:
"Going forward, the popular logo will be known as "Victory Yosef." The logo will be prominently featured on merchandise available at outlets throughout the region during the holiday season, including Appalachian State's University Bookstore and Sports Fanatic in the Boone Mall."

I don't get it. Spoof?
December 2nd, 2013 at 7:23 PM ^
Sooo.....this is an onion article right?
December 2nd, 2013 at 7:27 PM ^
The fact I have to think about this school again is simply egregious.
December 2nd, 2013 at 7:34 PM ^
Would you say its UNACCEPTABLE?
I don't know if I'd say its UNACCEPTABLE. It is egregiously dumb. The fact that we have to routinely talk about decisions DB makes in this manner is so tiring... I wish he would pull a Bill Martin and just totally disappear. Its like someone told him he's not allowed to do his job quietly and professionally.
December 2nd, 2013 at 8:15 PM ^
How is he supposed to get more WOW quietly?
December 2nd, 2013 at 8:26 PM ^
there's no such thing as bad press

I don't really want to play them again, but we're not going to lose - they're really bad now, nothing like what they were in 2007.

was it created in MS Paint?

Let's hope this is fake, or at least just a trial balloon...hey lets's go with a sinister looking dude smoking

This can't be happening.
And since when is an authentic American backwoodsman named "Yosef?" That's an Eastern European or Russian name. Real American backswoodmen are named Sam or Willie or Billy Joe or Lemuel or Henry or Levi.
Yosef's a Commie name from the Caucusus.

I know this is not admirable, but anything related to App State depresses me.

the Notre Dame Leprechaun's cousin, smoking a crack pipe....

an "old-timer" on the Lone Ranger series from the 1950s:
"In my day, we didn't have fancy college football games! For entertainment we stood in a corn field and stared at the sun until our eyes melted....And that's the way it was...and WE LIKED IT!!"
December 2nd, 2013 at 9:23 PM ^
Angry backwoods moonshiner...seems about right.

I like that they're dropping the ultra-slick logo. It seems like every small school hired the same design firm to come up with logos over the past decade. They always have that same sort of computerized shading Consider:
or
or
and even some pro teams went in that direction around the same time:

I hope the coaches force the players to watch highlights of that damn game from 2007 and show them what they did to our program, and what will happen if they don't take them seriously.
Despite app state having a bad year this year, they're going to come in with no fear. And it's up to Devin Gardner, Derrick Green, Frank Clark, Jake Ryan and friends MAKE THEM fear this house.

ONTOPIC Anything Michigan sports related Anything related to other Big Ten teams or upcoming opponentsI hope we're not going to take them lightly this time around.

It's definitely interesting to see a college, even one near "Tobacco Road," promote smoking with their logo. I guess they didn't get the memo from the Surgeon General in the 1960's. News travels slow there.
December 3rd, 2013 at 8:05 AM ^
Pure marketing gold.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:53 AM ^
...but I don't know why.
December 3rd, 2013 at 11:00 AM ^
Mr. Edwards with a pipe. Well, I'll be...

Anyone who has ever been to Boone, NC will appreciate this logo. Pretty damn fitting if you ask me. Put differently, don't go to Boone, NC.
