Don't Touch THE PAW!!!

I certainly hope there isn't some opportunist that wants
to try to get the rights to "THE PAW" and tweak here and
there or change it completely. I wondered if the
designer ever passed on how would this design be handled.
I say keep it going forever. Keep it big, bright, and
white on the helmets forever. Keep it as a representation
of Clemson across the world forever. Don't ever change it,
misuse it, or let the wrong person get their hands on it.
For it is CLASSIC, PRICELESS, and TIMELESS............. Its CLEMSON's.

Agree. But a bit of history...I was a student at the time and the PAW was not immediately embraced by all. There was big talk beforehand about the new image for Clemson, and when the PAW was revealed the reaction was "we paid how much for that?" Plus the paws on the hill were originally painted in the direction leading away from the stadium! It seemed appropriate given the state of Clemson football at the time. Hootie was considered a great hire, too. Contrary to other things that I have read about the history of Clemson traditions, the raising of four fingers in no way was meant to represent the PAW. It was Hootie's wish to demonstrate toughness at the beginning of the fourth quarter where in the recent history of the time Clemson usually had a fourth quarter defensive collapse. Interesting times indeed...hippies playing Frisbee on "the Hill" Frank's brilliant statement: "I retired because of illness....everyone was sick of me" A true legend was Frank. He was "All In" for sure.

No logo per se, but a "C".

In '69 it was a Cincinnati-style wishbone C. But before that it was a cool C design.

I have a hat with that C on it. It's more rounded. See below.
