Southern Miss Files for Trademark on New Logo

+

After the US Patent and Trademark Office ruled that the Southern Miss logo revealed in 2003 was too similar to the Iowa Hawkeye's logo, (which it isn't) the Golden Eagles were forced to look for a new mark all over again. The university produced two designs, and put it to a fan vote, with the "traditional" look winning out. Southern Miss has filed a trademark application for the logo pictured above, which should take around six months to approve. Though, if their last one was considered too similar, I can't imagine this one will get through without some push back. Additional images can be found here.
