Worst MAC logo
Big Slappie debate about which hideous logo they'll use when they replace the current carpet with a new remnant. They clearly hate their logo, but like a guy with an ugly girlfriend, they don't want to admit it. They prefer saying everyone's logo is hideous. Case in point.

"i certainly agree regarding western's logo, but that doesn't make our logo any better. both are terrible. can we get a non-violent symbol from the tribe? if we are the chippewas, why is our logo a letter with lines behind it?"
I can't think of a single MAC team that doesn't have a unique marketable logo. All are well thought out and designed to sell licensed merchandise.
Only one, looks like it was thrown together on a whim, by a crack design team anxious to head out for their lunch break.................The Flying C.
How stupid are the people in their athletic department? Like Miami and EMU, when the casino robbers said you can't use their logo the morons in licensing at CMU should have moved on, found a logo they could dress in a mascot costume, something that was even marginally marketable, and got on with selling cool merchandise.
By far, the worst most unimaginative logo in the MAC.
My rankings
1. Huskies- Can't beat it when you can have a live animal on the sidelines
2. Bronco- Kids love Buster. He's approachable. The girl on the horse leading the team out of the tunnel is easily the most impressive run on in the MAC.
3. Cardinal- that Cardinal always puts on a good mascot fight.
4. Zips- they've done a great job marketing that Roo.
5. Bobcats- great design.
6. Rockets- looks like vibrator, but I've accepted it, and they've done a good job marketing it.
7. Golden Flashes- Unique
8. Falcons- for whatever reason, it just doesn't standout to me like the Balls bird.
9,10- RedHawks, Eagles.....made the best of a bad situation. Miami has owned the logo better that EMU has.
11- The flatialating alphabet letter.

RE: Worst MAC logo
Kent State's bird of ambiguous origin is puzzling on couple levels, can't be very inspirational. What does a bird have to do with "Flashes"?
They were better off when they had lightning bolts a la San Diego (soon to be LA) Chargers, but maybe they had to give them up - trademarks, copyrights, and all that.

RE: Worst MAC logo
No doubt about it the farting C is the worst logo of any team in the MAC. I'm a homer and think WMU has the best logo!

Our logo is fine, provided it also incorporates a "W." WMU also has to back away from black. Keep it on the rack.
CMU's is bad and became awful when it changed its colors to maroon and yellow.
