No doubt. I think NC State is the only program that went back to the sailor logo as their main one. I found this


I always thought Miami’s was cool and I laugh at VT’s every time I see it.

Fun fact: the original sailor tiger logo was created by a cartoonist and used by Occidental College in Los Angeles.

The striking similarities are not coincidental. One artist from California drew the logo designs for a large amount of teams between the 1930s and ‘70s:

Franks awarded Arthur Evans—head artist for the Angelus Pacific Co. of Fullerton from 1932 until his retirement in 1977—the moniker of ‘Most Prolific Cartoonist,’ reporting that he was responsible for at least ‘90 percent of the college mascots’ being used at the time. ‘Art Evans is a legend around here,’ longtime Angelus office manager Jean Ruppe is quoted as saying. ‘Colleges and high schools would send a rough idea of what they wanted, and Art would get busy and come up with a sports mascot.’
Evans drew many of those sailor hats on various species over those decades. There’s no definitive answer about why so many schools wanted sailor hats, but the most popular explanation on the internet is that, in the middle of the 20th century, freshmen had to wear sailor hat-looking beanies as a hazing ritual on a lot of campuses.

It's not a sailor hat, they are beanies that freshman use to wear at colleges back in the olden days.

Heckin love Sailor Bear. I'm about as big a fan of uniform and field aesthetics that you'll ever meet.

Hoping to see more and more teams and franchises adopt alternate and throwback uniforms and field concepts, amigos
