Sorry but that is disgusting .... There should never be anything related to bama that should remotely resemble the barner program.

[It Takes Eleven]

at least power 5 teams...
Take them over chattanooga, kent state, western ky, etc

GaTech, Miami and VaTech were all independents that year. That was the first GaTech game since '64, too.

That is not the same logo you posted earlier. That is the logo I mentioned that came before the elephant crashing through the block A. This one IS an official logo. The other is an Auburn logo.

That's a 1979 calendar and Auburn started using that logo officially in 1971. Both schools would not have the same logo at the same time. In '79, Bama official logo was the elephant through the A. They did have a UA logo for six years ending in 1958 (elephant standing on a football holding an ice cream cone with UA on the side of the elephant.)

AUBURN since 1971:

i know...its the A n U meshed... without the little blocks on end of letters..
But ...honestly..didnt know it was the official logo...
dont knowi have seen this one on anything else...but...got a lot of really old stuff


Also...the ice cream cone someone mentioned in this one...dont know what that means....as i find others ...will put on..

Just close enough to be disgusting

just passing on @TerryP... not making an issue
As @mando said....."remotely" was bad enough

Never seen an Alabama logo that looked like Auburn's or a Auburn logo that looked like Alabama's. It's just some morons trying to make money off of people who don't know any better.

Neither had I. It's just a vendor's grab at a little $ when they still could.

That one started with Drew, ended at the end of Ears tenure. It was one of those changes made at the start of the Bryant era.

On a related note, the angry elephant coming out of the block A was discontinued as an official and secondary logo in 2000. Another debacle of a coaching era.

What is it now, a primary and two secondaries? Oval, Script A, and Nike's elephant.

Here's an FYI to debunk the asinine statements that Alabama copied the Atlanta Braves Script A:

The Alabama Script A was copyrighted as an official secondary logo in 1962. The Braves moved to Atlanta in 1966!

The UofSC was using the interlocking SC as a logo before USC was founded. USC holds the copyright to the logo because the UofSC failed to do so.
