Continuing the separation from their racist history...

Looks like Ole Miss is trying to move their branding away from the actual term Ole Miss by going with just an "M" on merchandise.

[Mayor of Little London]

Mullen has been key to the transition away from the confederate terminology at "ole miss" since he arrived in starkvegas

 

[The Usual Suspect]

Jackie did it best when he called them Mississippi. All these out of state students they have probably don't want to say they go to Mississippi. It sounds different than Ole Miss. My prediction is that if they ever try to lose the name Ole Miss, they will come up with another non-state affiliated name like something Oxford.

I actually don't hate that script M. The PR excuse about it being in the middle of the seven letter logo was embarrassingly lame, but the M by itself is not bad and does provide some degree of uniqueness.

Of course, when I think of Ole Miss, I think of Social Justice Warriors

I bet they're convinced that they were protecting James Meredith from those racist Federal Marshals in 1962.

I didn't care for it on the hat, my first thought was that they ripped it off from some high school's baseball caps. (When I saw the picture before reading, I thought it was their new baseball caps and that probably colored my opinion). But the t-shirts they showed with it were nice.
I guess I'm saying it's a decent secondary logo.

That looks terrible.

We are fortunate to have the signature “M” that is extremely unique, so we want to maximize that,” Ginn said.

There is nothing unique about that logo. I guess it looks a little better than the current block M, but both are pretty generic.

OM is 19-35 in the SEC since voting in the bear mascot...

...not counting upcoming SEC win forfeits/vacations.

They started their 16-game SEC losing streak a few days after the mascot vote.

I always liked this one segment the Daily Show had about Gretchen Carlson and they mentioned that she studied at Oxford:
"No, not the Mississippi one. The Europe one."

Whole thing is funny, but he mentions it at 4:49.


I always thought their colors being Harvard Red and Yale Blue and being located in a town named Oxford was their attempt at irony.

 

[Dawgg]

That statement about their being a lot of 'block M' logos.

I'll consider that conceding branding defeat to Mississippi State.

This is Our Block M Logo.

Really, now that I think about it, our marketing team should just immediately release a new block M logo without the banner across the middle.
