It is pretty sweet looking though.

Imitation.....the most sincere form of flattery :DIt's also a nice twist that a different CANTON is involved with the heist!

there's really only so much you can do with a kangaroo. i don't think it looks that similar to ours, especially our regular athletic one (as opposed to the fear the roo one)

"SUNY Canton began the process of finding a new logo and nickname last fall as they were transitioning into a four-year athletic program. The college contracted with Studio Simon, a national graphic design company, to develop a new identity for SUNY Canton. The college was looking for a unique new name and following an exhaustive study and input from faculty and staff, student-athletes and administrators, Kangaroos was chosen as the final product. SUNY Canton is one of just three colleges in the country with Kangaroos as their mascot."I have heard of the Studio Simon. They have a reputation for "borrowing" ideas. But the best part of that whole story is "SUNY Canton is one of just three colleges in the country with Kangaroos as their mascot." That would be great ... if the most famous one with a Kangaroo wasn't oh, 12 miles away from you.idiots.

Off topic a bit.......but a friend of mine thought of a new slogan with a take off of the "fear the roo" campaign. How do you like..."Don't Anga' the Kanga"

Next they'll probably get a mascot that looks a lot like Zippy. Maybe they'll call and ask for one of our used costumes. Does our Intellectual Property dept. know about this?

well i know that is wrong. now there is at least 4 schools with a kangaroo mascot:university of akron zipsuniversity of missouri kansas city kangaroos virgina military institute keydets and now suny canton kangaroos

[Blue & Gold]

Imitation is indeed the sincerest form of flattery. But that kangaroo looks so much like our Fear the Roo kangaroo, good grief, that has to be some sort of copyright infringement, no?

[Z.I.P.]

Am I the only one who noticed the logo's resemblance to a basketball net? Fill the roo!?

[timsum1283]

yeah it really does resemble a basketball net with the feet like that

[Ryno aka Menace]

having the same mascot fine but damn near the same colors too, nope....hell if The University of Wisconsin can sue over high schools using their "W" on football helmets we gotta have so sort of leg to stand on with this!!http://www.dailycardinal.com/news/west-vir...at-over-w-.html

Don't Anga' the Kanga'! That is really, really funny and I hope the new UAM picks it up. It's a great take off from Fear the Roo. Too good.
