Hi folks. New to the board. In fact, my registration is some 20-odd years in the making while I have searched fruitlessly for ANY reference material on this subject. For reasons unknown, I decided today to finally pull the trigger (I suppose the tourney gets the "vibe" going).
Do any of you recognize my avatar? Back in the Doc Rivers days when Marquette/DePaul/Notre Dame - with Al & Billy doing commentary - made regular appearances on CBS, I swear this arrow (or some semblance of it) was Marquette's logo. But I'll be darned if I can find any reference to it anywhere.
I in fact did see a reference to what I think is this logo in another thread, but it was rather dated, and since I labored tirelessly for minutes on end to create my faux-logo (fauxgo?) in CAD, I hopefully earned "New thread" status. :)
Please tell me I'm not losing my mind. Better yet, tell me it in truth because you actually recognize the logo. :) Any explanation behind the logo (PC measures?) would be great too!
Thanks!

I'm drawing a complete blank. I'll definitely be interested in what others have to say.
The last arrow I remember was on the side of the 1976-77 Bo designed uniforms.

Perhaps I should clarify; this was the logo that CBS would show next to Marquette's name. It may have only been a television thing. It's the only time I ever remember seeing it.

YES! I asked this a few years ago.

It was a series of arrows embedded within one another.

Yep, yours was the thread I had seen earlier. :) But I didn't dare having it passed over (I wasn't sure if old/resurrected threads got as much notice) - this has been driving me nuts for years! Glad to see you're just as nuts, apparently! :)

I was unaware of the logo, but it makes sense. An attempt for "warrior" imagery while removing direct depictions of Native Americans.
-
Maybe it wasn't a University logo. Maybe it was something the TV network came up with at a time that MU was searching for a new logo. That would explain why it isn't something that can be found.

Wonder where we heard that before? Rocky? Cos? :)
-
What does the arrow mean? I keep staring at it expecting to see some hidden "M" or "MU" or something.
-
I think this is the universal sign for bein' able to cross diagonally at a controlled intersection, ai na?
-
It means we're goin' uptown.

I'd wager that is what was going on.

If you can't find an answer here you might want to try sportslogos.net. They have a forum filled with nerds who discuss the tiniest details on jerseys and logos and whatnot.
