One other thing Byrne can approve on...

I have always heard it takes an act of God to receive approval to use the plethora of State logos on merchandise. I have had other sites email me that were making SEC team t-shirts asking who to contact because they can't get anywhere. I, of course, had no clue but apparently it's rather difficult to get an answer from our licensing department.

I had some friends who were wanting to put an MSU logo on some custom-made beer can coozies they use at their tailgate. They gave up after 100000000 phone calls and run-arounds.

There are a couple of different licensing orgs but ya'll have chosen not to let them take any off the top. Essentially you don't have to pay fees to them but you get the headache of every single request.

I think ya'll and Texas Tech are the only ones that still do it that way. Plus you sold your soul to Nike and lost some visual identity privelages that are now owned by them and Templeton is too cheap to buy them back.

is the specific interlocking MSU logo they designed that we wore from 1991-2003. We still own the older interlocking MSU logos and could create a new one any day we wanted to and not pay Nike a penny. We don't do that because Templeton wanted to change every sport to the M-State logo and used the Nike contract as an excuse to do that.

...and its 27 different color shades ranging from **** brown to barney purple might be the ugliest logo in all of college sports.

Last year I got some t-shirts made for my cooking team at super bulldog weekend that had the M-State logo on them. There was a lady in the legal department ( I believe her last name was Hewlett). I just e-mailed her a copy of the design, and she looked at it to make sure there was nothing inappropriate on it. Then she gave us the go ahead.
