New Logo Trademark

This is likely to be a secondary logo, which is AWESOME, since Nike created, AND OWNS, the clam.

1. Nike create the clam because they didn't want to pay John Routh royalties for his Sebastian logo.
2. Overjoyed to be rid of the clam.
2. Happy that we are not letting our shoe-provider own any of our stuff anymore.
4. Always felt that we were under-utilizing the hurricane warning flags, which have largely been stolen by the hockey team in Carolina.
5. Would love to see Hard Rock do more on game days to fly the flags outside and inside the stadium. And, hey, even the Dolphins could use it. I'd much rather share "our thing" with a South Florida pro team rather than a team in North Carolina.

By the way, does anyone know if the Tennessee Titans still use the "Miami Dolphins" song? Joe Robbie wouldn't pay the guy, so he sold the rights to the song to the Houston Oilers.

What is the clam? That grey thing with the sleek beak on the top? If so, never liked that myself.

it was the logo that was on the shoulder pads of the last nike jersey and was an alternate logo dating back to the early 2000s (i think?)

I never understood why that grey thing came to be. Still really don't.

Because...Nike didn't want to put the U on everything, and they didn't want to pay John Routh his royalty on the modern Sebastian logo (with pipe or without pipe).

So Nike created a secondary logo for which they would get all the money.

The new hurricane flag logo bending might be a nod back to our old palm tree logo.

I've been looking for the logo but can't find it. My brother in law had the sticker on his car. Mid 80's Hurricanes love...

I don't know that the palm tree was ever an official logo, but it was a commonly used motif in the 1980s.

I started at UM in 1986, and we still had some 1983 National Championship shirts available at the UM bookstore. And those shirts were low-grade crap.

People today have no idea how good we have it now. Back in the mid 80s, we had no Nike deal, no adidas deal, and nearly all of the available merchandise was TERRIBLE. Nobody had the right version of green. Nobody had the right version of orange. Most of the t-shirts were 50-50 poly blends that were horrendously cheap. Basically, you HAD to go to AllSports (AllCanes) to get anything decent back then.

Now that AllCanes is owned by Follett (UM bookstore), I doubt that we are going to get any more good "smack talk" t-shirts, so CanesWear and/or Dyme Lyfe needs to step up their smack t-shirt game.
