Hey guys! Just joined the community - I'm Connor and I help run Homefield. We make premium (read: extra comfortable) college apparel, and try to make unique/vintage designs for schools of all sizes. We know that no matter how much research we do, it'll never compare to the knowledge of die-hards, which is why we joined this community.
We just became licensed for Troy, and we're still in the research phase of making sure we make thoughtful Troy/Troy State apparel for when we do launch it. This is where you come in. No one loves the Trojans and the school more than you, and we want to learn from the experts.
Mainly: what are your favorite Troy/TSU logos/traditions? We only want to make apparel that serves the most passionate fans, and we take that input quite seriously.
Even if you don't have any favorite logos/traditions, if you ever are thinking about ordering some Trojans stuff when it goes live, let me know and I'll be sure to hook you up with a solid discount.
Thanks, Connor

Thank you, everyone, for these suggestions! Good to know on the fountain-what a great compilation of all the helmets too! This is exactly what we're looking for.

The spire at the top of Bibb Graves Hall is also pretty iconic. It used to be used with the University wordmarks. If you wanted to send me a t shirt for the helmet information, I'd appreciate it. 😁

My favorite tradition is the band playing "Are You From Dixie?" in the pregame.

Not a tradition but I would like to have more replica stuff(hats, jerseys, polos). I've been wanting the cardinal baseball hat for years but they are very hard to find. The bookstore does okay at times with this but not good at all most times. Also the traditional 'The Game' style hats with a Troy and Troy State one. As well as game day shirts for every home football game(still have mine from FAU 2009 when I came for Preview Day).

Is there a Red Wave logo? I know we had the TS logo during the time we were the Red Wave, but if there was a Red Wave logo (sort of like Tulane's Green Wave logo) that would be pretty cool.

Something like this would be pretty neat. I wish we had an old "fighting" logo like this.

Not really a tradition or a logo but I would love it on a shirt, is a quote from Dr. Long - "Look up band. It's fall and the moon has turned into a football."

I’d like a vintage looking shirt that says Troy Normal School or Troy State Teachers College.

But my all time favorite logo is the TSU with the trojan head. Maybe because that is when I was in school there but I like it the best.
That's my favorite logo too. Probably for the same reason.
I also like anything with a sword or swords. I wasn't happy when we dropped the sword in favor of the power "T".

Wow - thank you all for the suggestions. Truly, this is really helpful for us as we look to make apparel that's thoughtful and represents you guys the best!

Since we're talking about a venture licensed by the University, wouldn't any logo used have to approved by the Troy Trojans Licensing Department? If so, I suspect the options will be limited. The university has stated they wish to move away from all logos except the crossed swords and the Power T. I'm not sure if they will approve any other logos. The exception to this I could see is approval of logos for Troy STATE University as vintage wear.

The power T is a sword!

Excellent thread! I think most people do like the Power T logo - however the main issue is that most Troy designed apparel is totally overdesigned / and just too "busy". Troy lacks classic collegiate designs, just keep it simple: TROY in College Varsity style letters, that's what we need. We need classic stuff like this: Here an example: Logo is ok but why add "Troy Trojans"? There is no need for this, it looks unprofessional.

I think, because we’re not nationally recognized by most folks yet.
