The Tennessee Volunteers will no longer be represented by Davy Crockett and his rifle.
They like puppies instead.
Referred to as ''secondary'' logos, the newly created symbols incorporate various images of Smokey, the school's blue-tick hound mascot.
A secondary logo that is a capitalized Vols in orange block letters with Tennessee in white above it will replace two old symbols featuring Davy Crockett and his rifle and a star with the word Vols.
Two of the new logos feature a Smokey puppy sitting next to a Power T and a Lady Vols T. (emphasis added)
Over at
the Countertop Chronicles,
It was bad enough when the campus went dry.
I guess that the only message I can take after learning that UT is dropping Davey Crocket and his rifle from official merchandise is we no longer care about our heros. Hell, they might as well change the name of the team from the Volunteers to the Oppressed Draftees.
My advice to the Countertop, don't give the administration any ideas.
