It's a cool design. A few thoughts:

1) I'm a simple man, but I think a version without the 'play, win, dorm' tagline would be cool.

2) This may date me, as I'm not sure there's an OZone anymore, but what about a tagline like "Is that not the winning team?" For reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VF_nkfm8BAA

I don't know if this is trademarked somewhere, but how about "OUr hOUse" instead of "Play. Win. Dorm."?

I like Play. Win. Dorm.

I would add to the center of the image the Convo's big front window, as seen here: https://d2jyir0m79gs60.cloudfront.net/college/overview_im...

I once lived in the Convo, many moons ago. Love the Convo. my first screen name on BA was Convo Kid.

I concur with dropping the dorm part.

I agree. That shirt with dorm will only be understood by a small portion of people. I truly wish there was better Ohio basketball apparel available. Always seems to be a struggle to find quality shirts and hats that say Ohio basketball on it. Honestly, the picture of the Convo does nothing for me if the words Ohio basketball aren’t on the shirt. That’s my 2 cents. Good luck with the designs.

Finding quality is an issue on some other items too. Golf bags for instance. I have for years searched for a larger, quality bag with logos similar to what many other universities and professional teams have. In the case of college logo bags, their lack of availability can’t necessarily be explained by how large the school’s athletic programs are either for such bags to be produced by companies. I’ve seen quite a few non-power five program bags offered. I bought a lesser quality bag years ago that was available with a logo thinking I might learn to like it. However, I didn’t get to find out since I came to find it only “comfortably” held about 10 clubs. Also, for another example, I looked for an OU trailer hitch cover at one time. Only found some plastic and cheap metal ones.

John....think incorporating Ohio basketball in these designs and I would most likely buy shirts. Ohio Basketball is the key in my opinion with the design.

I have a nice Ping carry bag that is OHIO logo, picked it up about 15 years ago.

As a cycling enthusiast I've always wanted an Ohio cycling jersey similar to other universities. I'm sure the market is limited for something like this, though.

1907 is confusing. I'm guessing that was the first year of a Bobcat basketball team but some might very well think that is the founding year of OU.

Alan is right. Not digging the 1907. All you need is Ohio University Bobcats Basketball in my opinion.....or just Ohio University Basketball. If you are going with Bobcats Basketball, I think the same dark green should be used for Bobcats Basketball as used for Ohio University.

That's my two cents.

1907? Is that how many jobs TOS has applied for on BA? The number of recruits JC ran out of Athens? The number of wins Groce had in March? Maybe it's the year we landed on the moon! (That's sarcasm).

Might as well be number of games Jim Snyder watched while growing up.

Seriously I ASSUME that's the first year of OU basketball but who knows. Any of the above come to mind way sooner.

I think I still have the 100th anniversary posters they handed out at the games in 2007 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fxHu9tiFl4

Of course it is the first year of OU Basketball.

Right - because 1907 is the first thing people associate with OU or OU basketball. Ahead of 1804. Or lots of other random/silly things like I pointed out above.

Why not put 1946? EVERYBODY knows that's the first year we participated as a founding member in the MAC. Obviously. About as obscure as 1907 IMO.

Lose the 1907 and I'll buy them. Like I said...you can hardly find anything that says Ohio University Basketball on it. If someone makes an effort to do it and it's good quality, I'll buy.

Not exactly licensed by Ohio University athletics there...

If you were to add "Est." before 1907 it would be less confusing.
