The Return of Ol' Claw Eyes

This design is a part of my resent batch of designs for the intramural shirts I created for  Springfield College's campus recreation department. This one you may actually recall . . . it is an interpretation of the Ottawa Lynx. I replaced the baseball with the school emblem - the YMCA triangle in a circle on which the school was originally founded upon. Springfield, MA is the birthplace of basketball (at the college) and the YMCA (originally the YMCA Training School, c. 1885). In recent years, the athletics program renamed the athletics nickname to "Pride" sometime between 1995 and '96.


This in turn ties in a lot of history with the shirt. The campus rec  logo that is actually the athletics logo with "campus recreation in block shadow letters below it. I have always liked the logo on the lower back, but keeps getting placed on one of the shoulders - usually the left.
