Awesome.  Thanks.  It's always been my favorite logo by far.  Wish they would start using it again so i could get apparel with this logo on it.

 

Still not quite perfect...   Try this one:

In honor of Legends weekend, I decided to cook up a few avatars free for anyone to use of some throwback logos.  I'll post them in this thread, again anyone is free to use (or not use) as desired.

I've been needing a fresh Richard van Poelgeest pic, got any of those?

e would like to see Rich King come back some year. To my knowledge he hasn’t returned since his playing days, but I could be wrong. He’s one of my favorite players and was a big reason I became a fan of Nebraska basketball. He came to my church his senior year in high school when I was in 6th grade and thought that was the coolest thing getting to meet him.  I’ve been hooked ever since.

He was there for the aforementioned P.O.Pears soiree. He lived in Seattle and worked for Boeing but that was a decade or so ago. As an interesting sidelight, I was ripped off by Danny Nee once when I bought a genuine Rich King warmup suit at an auction. When I got it home and looked closely I realized it was made for someone who was about 6 feet tall! But Danny was as much a huckster as a husker so I wasn't surprised.

Who knew this would be an image of Danny Nee looking on at a future NBA Championship winning coach?

Maybe they were his freshman warmups, and he grew that much?  Either that or they must have belonged to a one 'Richard King' from Coffeyvillle, KS.

His Seattle Supersonics jersey hangs in the players lounge... along with a Bulls Pike jersey, Hoppen/Hornets, Lue/Hawks and a Strickland/Mavericks

They really need to change the name from Legends Weekend to Alumni Weekend.  I wouldn't say many of the players that come back for this are Legends.

In their own Minds, Maybe?    (If not in ours. )

I was talking with someone and we both wondered if there are still some hard feelings from players from the Nee era? Very few of those guys show up and even last year when the NIT championship team was honored there was a very small turnout. I realize that it would be impossible to get all of them back but you would think since this happens every year that more than what showed up could make it work.

Then Nebraska is going to have to pay the guys who live far away to travel to this weekend. Or, even better, if Nebrasketball continues progressing to a certain level of success, then guys will 'want' to come back to celebrate the program! GBR!!

I agree.  The concept is great, but the presentation was underwhelming.  Not sure how you fix it.  Like I said earlier (and with all due respect to those who show up) the players I wanted to see, were not there.

I thought it was interesting that barely anyone from recent teams came back, or at least was there for the court recognition. Velander, Turek, and those guys, but barely if any of Doc’s guys or even Miles previous teams were there. I texted the real Mike Peltz and he couldn’t make it this weekend. A few years ago he came back from Alliance and drove all the way to Omaha to watch my son play little league hoops. Meant the world to my son. Still cool to see some of the guys that gave us so many memories.
