• The mascot for our uniforms is the Mustang, pointed left. It's red, always red.
• Our shade of red and blue are precise colors; Harvard Red and Yale Blue, no changing them.
• We're the SMU Mustangs, not "Mustangs". The school logo should be priority #1, when practical.

The rest is creative freedom.

Technically, our colors are now SMU red and SMU blue.

Ah, I'm behind the times. Anyways, my points still stand

All of these look great - skip the state of Texas emblem, though.

Interesting, I've never heard the Mustang has to point left.

In design, it's the little things that matter. Font, kerning, color palette, placement, size of striping, and with most established brands, the history. Bold, new, and modern only go so far. A truly good design should capture the true essence of what you want your brand to reflect. It is not just a uniform, but an icon for an institution.

These are things one should think about before clicking on a graphics editing program. It is not just about the "wow" factor...

these are generally ridiculous. especially the one that looks like the New York Football Giants.

Would love to see more of the diamond 'M' used in all our logos. Tradition-wise, that's one of the oldest & most recognizable for SMU.

I think someone is confused

The uniforms we had during June's first year were perfect. We should go back to those

Easily my favorite uniforms the team has worn since I became an SMU fan.

I like the Texas logo. We should play off the texas theme more and put it on our uniform in some capacity (like a state emblem on the hip).

I agree. Keep the TX emblem.

This ^.

Damn, it's not that complicated (frustration at the athletic dept not ponyfans). The last 2 concepts are the right ones. It's very simple. You got it right with the new Moody floor. Now, just take it to our uniforms. It's not rocket science. Damn!

Make the stripes on the helmets and pants like this again, but lose the stripes

on the jerseys.
