Look at the second photo I posted. Looks like they tried different variations before finally settling on the current script.RICO CAT wrote: ↑Mon Apr 21, 2025 1:31 pmThat’s what the concept looked like, for the media guide anyway, but was not the actual decal that ended up being issued for 1982 season.AFCAT wrote: ↑Mon Apr 21, 2025 1:14 pmRICO CAT wrote: ↑Mon Apr 21, 2025 12:40 pmhttps://www.sportslogos.net/logos/list_ ... e_bobcats/
The first ‘Cats’ script appeared on the new yellow helmets in 1982 when Coach Doug Graber took over. It’s the same script used today. The post card is a representation of that script but not an accurate depiction of the logo. In 1984 blue and white lines were added to the crown of the helmet which seemed to work out well.![]()

Re: Random stuff 2025
I wish I could watch that broadcast now. Is that a DVD or tape? Do you have it? Oh, that write up was done sometime after the stadium changed names to Bobcat Stadium.

It is a DVD from a 25-year-old + VHS tape so the quality is what you might expect but at least it’s preserved on DVD. The game program was used as the DVD cover. Yes, I have a copy.

I was looking for that 1982 game and found this old 1981 film from a game against Washington State. No sound though.

I don’t have a YouTube account and that is likely beyond my technical ability. I do have a copy of a copy I might end up giving to you along with some others I’ll post on here soon because you do so much to promote the program. The copies were intended for someone else who is going to miss out if they don’t respond soon.

Re: Random stuff 2025
Heck, I can put them up for you and give full credit and send the DVD back to you. No problem, but it isn't too hard to set up a YouTube account, if you want to do that. If the video is already on a DVD, it's already digitized. Do you have a DVD input on your computer? I can walk you threw uploading it.RICO CAT wrote: ↑Mon Apr 21, 2025 2:21 pmI don’t have a YouTube account and that is likely beyond my technical ability.

Re: Random stuff 2025
I don’t see me setting up an account for this. I will likely mail them to you so I know they are in the custody of someone who will appreciate them. Let me give this guy a little more time as he said he was traveling at the moment. I actually have another DVD with the 1982 Season in Review and 1983 Coaches Show. It has the footage of that streaker so I should probably keep that one under wraps. Don’t want to get a call from his attorney.

Re: Random stuff 2025
Okay, I'm more than willing to put them up online. I will edit out any commercials and music, so I don't get tagged by YouTube. That streaker was one of the funniest things I've ever seen at Bobcat stadium. He really can't come after anyone for posting photos or video since he did his streak in public and there is no right to privacy in that situation. That's why he is immortalized in the Exponent. I know he was probably drunk out of his mind though.RICO CAT wrote: ↑Mon Apr 21, 2025 2:46 pmI don’t see me setting up an account for this.

Exponent. I know he was probably drunk out of his mind though.I can also edit out
objectionable stuff.
You see, those are the skills I’m talking about! At least give the guy a fig leaf and a happy face. He may be someone’s grandfather by now and never imagined there would be such a thing as YouTube. I’ll be in touch regarding this matter.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that the CAA's horrible mismanagement is driving their brand name schools out. Patriot League is a surprising destination though
