We have to stop changing these things....traditions are, well traditional...when’s the last time Duke changed that “D” or Michigan changed that “M” or Clemson went with an actual tiger and not that paw print....you don’t build brand recognition by constantly changing the brand and in today’s market place we really need brand recognition

Mountaineer Mania Yosef should definitely become an alternate. It was THE Yosef for a generation of App students in the 80s.

I don't see a need to replace Victory Yosef, but this Yosef could definitely supplement it. Most schools have plenty of throwback logos they embrace, but our university's licensing people have seemingly banned any throwbacks. Only the Block A (both black and white) and Victory Yosef are allowed.

Nah! I went there in the 80's. It's so 80's. I still favor the current throw back version Yosef from the 70's.

It's not bad, but I like Vintage Yosef better.

I love the MM Yosef. Yeah, it's 80's. But young people are big into anything 1980's right now. So I think it's legit these days.

Pick something and stick with it. App's current "Vintage" logo and block A's are pretty solid. Branding is very important for recognition over the long haul. We are fortunate that that there are only 2 major colleges that use the Mountaineer mascot, so take full advantage of it.

Agreed. Always keep the pipe! Besides it’s a new age, everybody knows it ain’t tobacco he’s packing in there!

Call me a traditions guy. I was one of a group of five guys who led the fight to put the muzzle-loading *Kentucky or Tennessee* rifle back in Yosef's hands in the Bork/Laney-to-Peacock/Cobb transition. So think tradition every time Mountaineer Football puts points on the scoreboard! That blast you hear isn't a mere, left-over, beach trip cherry bomb.

I'm also one of the first to "hate on" the numbskulls who, from time to time, substitute shades of sickly yellow for real, 122 years-old Appalachian Gold.

*Kentucky or Tennessee* rifle you ask??? Which one we use depends on what we can get donated and App ROTC can get parts for and keep in top-of-rack, safe-to-fire condition.
If it happens to the Apps, it happens to me!

Doubtfully could hardly hear a long rifle shot with the super loud PA system we have. Still symbolically a good idea.

I like it, but I am one of the few that also liked the Gorton one. It was more of a Jeremiah Johnson look than Deliverance. I like the current one least of all (I know I'm in the minority).

Yeah, I also liked the Gordon's one. I get App ppl like old school Yosef, but it does look tired and is an easy target for the outside world to pick on. It's the opposite of modern
