It’s a park for Heaven’s sake, relax!
I don’t understand the animus towards the Paw. Love the Paw! I actually do like the Attack Cat better as It
more distinctive.
As an ‘85 grad, I cut my Bobcat teeth on the Paw. Plus, the Paw makes for some great retro clothing.
No animus here hence my original post. When Thomas Both tried to force OHIO and the attack cat down folks throats, I said then that OU and the paw would be back. They clearly are as evidenced by the sweatshirt that Tim wears during games.
The Paw is such a weak, rip-off of half the high schools in the nation that it is not distinctly OHIO, and therefore is, and will always, be in a secondary position to the AttackCat. Interestingly, when I was in school back in the 1960s, I had a decal on my VW bug that looked very much like the AttackCat developed in the Boeh Era. I suspect that the designer of the AttackCat saw that decal and modeled his or her work on that earlier design. Someone on BA several years ago asked me if I had a copy of that old decal. I've looked and can't find one, but something may eventually turn up. I can tell you that it had the arched OHIO and a slightly more realistic bobcat with a visible red tongue and, I think, bared teeth. The AttackCat is almost a cartoon version of this old decal.
