Couple of thoughts.

1) Is this why some fans are saying the current Pony looks smaller on the helmet?

2) Looks 2007 colors are more pale than 2013. PK, which are the CORRECT hues?

SMU fans should NEVER use "'Stangs".

Kick 'em Mustangs is kind of SWCish ,so whatever. The band says "Ride 'em Mustangs" at the end of their show ,but that doesn't make much sense,, now does it?

As for the logo - this is a big deal. It has been hard enough to rid inventory of the phony phony, and now we have gone and secretly (or unknowingly) changed our official logo as well. Unbelievable.

Why? Every one else in Texas has a catchy 'em slogan:

Gig 'em
Sic 'em
Hook 'em
Wreck 'em

To me it just nods to the fact that we used to be at the same level as these schools.


How about F... 'Em?

The inconsistency of the Peruna logo dilutes the SMU brand. The phony pony is already a bad issue, but internally (whoever SMU paid to knowingly or unknowingly change the artwork) should not be adding to the problem.

2013 is closer to correct color, but still too "red". 2007 red is worse as it has a bit of orange tint to it.

But then their uniforms are yet a little different.

SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

Technically, both of the logo sheets I pulled (2007 & 2013) both came from SMUMustangs.com. Both sheets state official colors are PMS 186 and 286.

PMS is the Pantone Matching System for those who are ignorant to the acronym.

"Peruna needs skinnier legs and an arsehole pucker"...can you believe it's someone's job to approve of such things?

Whoever you are...kill the PhonyPony, ditch "SMU Red/Blue" altogether and let's get back to our "Harvard Red/Yale Blue" roots!

This is how our stripes should look now, but the blue stripes now are barely visible.
