When searching my Pictures folder today I stumbled upon this graphic, which I giddily found several years ago. It is the old UK Wildcat logo, which UK Athletics quietly changed some 7 or 9 years ago. Why? Take a look at the Wildcat’s tongue. If you still don’t get it, take a second look, but this time, think like you’re an 13-year-old filthy-minded boy:
I’m guessing somebody brought this to the attention to the UKAA, and this design got shafted.
I still have a ball-cap that has this old logo on it, and I wear it proudly. I also have a great Starters Jacket with the objectionable tongue on it. What articles of clothing that you own are graced with the design?
Edit: I didn’t want to imply that the Wildcat’s tongue was actually brought to the attention of the UKAA; that is only my conjecture.

Looks like the shaft of a of fair weather fan which has back stabbed the kitty, sorry about that, I like UK and will not throw it under the bus.

Nobody is throwing UK under the bus. I think Dr. Rick is just too sophisticated — or too bent out of shape about the Wildcats — to find humor in something juvenile like my observation.

I have several polo’s and a couple of t-shirts, I stopped wearing them all when the changed to the new tongue – too bad someone picked up on it – it’s still a conversation point around my house, most my in-laws knew nothing about UK basketball until I arrived … now their rabid fans.
