Vintage Alabama Logo

[2003TIDE]

The OP said where he got it and it appears to be an online retailer. My reply about Martin's was to a different poster about a different logo.

It was from Peter Millar directly. I ordered it online via their custom shop (only the script A is standard item.). There is a retail location 15 min away. Think I'm going to return and reorder until i get one that is straight.

I agree the Elephant through the A is the best. I don't particularly like having stuff with the script A while living in GA. Half the people over here are too dumb to tell it from the Braves 'A' apart ;-)

On a side note when i found the other vintage logo for @Snuffy Smith above I saw several logos that were pretty slick.

I definitely think the logo is left leaning. For what you paid for Peter Millar, I would send it back.

You'll probably never hear your buddy who sits in the next section at BD shout, "Hey dude! Is your logo crooked?"

Wouldn’t it be cool if they had a “throwback” day and

Wouldn’t it be cool if they had a “throwback” game where this old logo was at midfield

This is what we really wanted to be talking about in the off season

I like that 50’s logo as well.

We found some large decals with that 78 logo and made a tree topper out if it.

The logo is crooked, but I bet a lot of them are. Some seamstress has the job of sewing logos onto the shirt and he/she has to meet production. So, some of them are going to be crooked. It's more noticeable because the shirt is striped.

You'll probably never hear from you buddy who sits in the next section at BD say, "Hey dude! Is your logo crooked?"

Is a friend really a friend if they won't tell you when your fly is unzipped, you have food in your teeth, or the logo on your new BAMA shirt is crooked?

I have bought several vintage logo t’s and sweatshirts from a website. They have many old Bama, college, NFL, MLB etc. items. I won’t link the address but you can find it. Pretty cool stuff. RTR

Early 50’s

 

[2003TIDE]

So what were the logo's from 58 until the elephant walking through the A was introduced in 74? Can't find much info there.

@TIDE-HSV when were you enrolled? Was it late 50's or early 60's. Can't remember. You have any insight on logos?

I think it’s actually the script A

The current font wasn’t until recent.

It would have been this one up to 2003 if so which seems kind of lame since it is listed as a secondary logo. Seems we’d have a primary

Just start drinking until it either looks straight or you don't care that it's crooked. Problem solved either way.
