I buy A&M polos on the basis that it fits right and is quality fabric. I don't get my panties in a wad over 2 square inches of my shirt that might possibly be beveled.

I wouldn't have guessed that you wear panties.

Lace panties?

Technically it's a banana hammock. Normally cotton

I've been a Good AG for a lot of years and my son, Class of '97, is really in tune with Aggie happenings. Yet I've never heard a thing about this "bevel" issue until I read this thread. Upon further reflection, perhaps that explains why this movement hasn't gained a lot of traction- there may be only a small minority, as the world of Ags go, who know about it and maybe who care about it.

The OP's letter made some interesting points, some of which I agree make sense. However, I have enough significant things going on in my life that it's hard for this to elevate high enough on the list for me to really care. I live and breath Aggies but our marketable valuation and recognition come from us, come from within, and come from our spirit- not a logo. I've got to think this over a bit more but I'm not sure this is that big of deal. We are who we are not what our logo is.

An observation about the "letter"- it's way to long, wordy and complicated to cleanly and concisely make your point and sell the concept. And- contacting the SEC Commissioner? Really? Why does he care about bevel shading on a member school's logo? I would be amazed that he would entertain a second thought on the topic. Including Mr. Slive in this debate may well have helped relegate your efforts to the trash heap of sincere but somewhat radical insignificant interests. I'm not sure that was a wise move.

But I appreciate the passion and spirit. Good luck.

A lot of "last lost sale" logic on here. No one has any real data. What you or your friend did or didnt do is just as irrelevent as the fact merchandise sales soared after a great season in an exciting league with the nation's best player. Maybe the student senate will get it.

Until then, everyone's arguing just to argue. I think Old Main made a persuasive case, but I already hated the bevel. Near as I can tell, Rag isn't disagreeing with OM's argument, but his approach, whether this is something to get worked up about, whether anyone here trumps Jason Cook's opinion and expertise, and the general fact Rag likes to rag with contrarian positions.

Old Main, if you're committed to this, why not get a tailgate tent as close to Kyle as possible and make it the anti-bevel campaign central? See how it plays away from TexAgs.

BTW, I'm not sure I know any Aggies younger than age 60 who don't hit TexAgs now and then, though most won't admit the extent of their addiction. Personally, I can go whole days without visiting TexAgs (when it's not football season + I'm traveling overseas + I can't get cheap Internet access). But then, what does my anecdotal evidence prove?

BTW, I had a crappy beer tonight. It was a hotel bar and my choice was limited to one crappy beer or another. If they served good beer, I would have had another. If it was great beer, I might have had three.

bevel blows

LEVEL THE BEVEL!

We won't lose the bevel because unemployed morons who take part in marketing surveys think it looks cool.

I support and agree with Old Main 100%.
The bevel is terrible.

I think it's real simple. The plain block aTm with no bevel just looks better.
And if that was our primary logo, nobody would be complaining that we need to add a bevel to it.

Wow...13 pages...like the bevel, this thread has staying power!!

First post I ever clicked on the thumbs up in support of

Do the Bevel Huggers defend this version of the Bevel (which is still up on the Rivals website) or are some versions of the Bevel so damn ugly that no one claims them?

You should talk to rivals if you don't like that one

If a major college football website is using an extremely poor version of our logo someone at branding and marketing at Texas A&M should contact them and send a more acceptable logo.

You should write them a letter and tell them

The bevel is stupid, because it is wrong.

It's not so much a bevel as just a "randomly marked-up" block aTm.

Or better yet, make stickers

Old Main, Keep it up the good work. I really hope you are succsessful with this cause. I will take you out for a steak dinner if you can convince the leadership to get rid of the bevel.

Cramer: no bevel, no bevel, no bevel

This "cause" is futile. You honestly deserve ZERO credit for military walk and the SEC. Plus, Rivals is using the wrong media logo for us. All you do is copy and paste the same thing over and over again. You have no alternative plan for even implementing the block T to everything on campus and the media. Your whole argument is "the T can't make a shade of maroon or white when light hits it" and "I think the block looks better". You are just trolling at this point. Nobody is this dumb.

This thread seriously needs to die

I have seen some strange topics on texags over the two years I have been a reader. The bevel discussion is the strangest ever. Let it go, guys.

Please tell me that's really on your car

It isn't. Probably someone just went to the website that sells these and typed the letters in to see what it looked like. I saw it on a Google search.

I have seen lots of people go to flea marts and get non-bevel stickers made up for their cars.


Sad fact is that our university loses money with this high school looking logo.

I actually don't believe anyone that says they would choose the bevel over the plain block aTm. Maybe a kid in Jr High, but not an adult.

I have 3 wool 7 1/4 and 7 1/8 fitted caps from the mid 90's, pre-bevel, never worn, in my closet. They are solid maroon with a clean white ATM logo on the front, just good classic baseball caps.

No giant thumbs, pictures of sarge, off-center 12's, or any other junk on them. Just classic baseball caps, WHICH APPARENTLY NO LONGER EXIST for sale in stores, in wool or any other material.

How much would you give for one?

I also can't imagine a world where someone would disagree with me.

If you disagree with me, that means you're dumber than a Jr high kid

Fore the record, in this whole thread I have only seen one person say they prefer the bevel to the block.

If it doesn't cause you mental anguish, you're a bevel hugger by default
