Classic Team Logo of The Day

05 Sep

Former logo of a college football team that plays in the Mid-American Conference, the Eastern Michigan Eagles. Yes, the logo says Hurons, and that was the team name until the school changed it to Eagles in 1991. The name change has stayed controversial to this day, with school alumni refusing to make contributions until it is changed back. The groups wanting the Huron name restored include a few Native American ones. Anyway, the team has won 10 conference titles over the years and boasts an impressive list of players who have gone on to play pro ball, including Charlie Batch, John Banaszak, Kevin Walter, Chuck Shonta, Clarence Chapman, Jason Jones, T.J. Lang, Jim Pietrzak, L.J. Shelton and Dave Pureifory, and also Hall of Fame coach George Allen.
