The mascot for our uniforms is the Mustang, pointed left. It's red, always red.
Interesting, I've never heard the Mustang has to point left.
That is to distinguish it from the Ford Mustang emblem which is pointed to the right. That was a condition from Ford allowing us to use their "mustang" image which is copyrighted.
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.

I don't know about that... The grill of every mustang to come off the line since 1964 has the mustang pointing left.
I may be dyslexic, or you may be full of [deleted], but if your goal was to get me to waste my afternoon googling car pics, well played sir... well played...

The last two on the right should be our Away and Home uniforms. Wear the red for homecoming, and the other two use them for bowl games. Put SMU in all of them like the last two.

The answer is simple. The left and right is relative to the surface it is mounted on and not relative to how you see it facing the surface. If you look at the mustang on the uniform it appears to be running to the right, but it is sewed on to the uniform running to the left of the person wearing it. On the Mustang grill it is attached running towards the cars right fender. As you look at the grill it is running to your left. I have a jacket with an SMU Mustang on the front of it and it is running towards my left arm...get it?

That is a special case...it would look plain stupid to have it running towards your back while you are running forward. In any other situation, it runs towards the left relative to the surface it is mounted on.

Use the SMU arched logo:
I used that particular font because that is what was used on the pony express era uniforms and our current basketball uniform (our basketball font is actually arched, not straight).
I do agree we need to stick with a particular word mark.
Just curious. On the current roster Jeremy Johnson is # 15 and IMO a good choice for a number on a proposed uniform. But who, historically, has worn that number?

Thomas Morstead, New Orleans Saints - P
Karch Kiraly wore 15, but I don't think he went to SMU...

No kidding. The obvious answer seems so easy.
Am I right that this year's uniforms are expected to be the same style as the Pony Express years, but in red? Blue will always be the best option, but if it's red, with no stripes and bigger block lettering, that will be a drastic improvement.
