While weāre talking about the University seal, can someone tell me what itās supposed to represent and where it came from?
Thatād be great, thaaanks.

This isnāt anything official, but Iām pretty sure itās close. There might be something about it in Sanfordās book, but itās too late to get up and look.

Has āUniversity of Charlotteā been copywrited? Unless the school has already done this for some reason, I wouldnāt see anymore issues using āUniversity of Charlotteā as you would for āState of Charlotteā. And I donāt care if it riles up the anti-name changers. Thatās kind of the point. The anti-football movement didnāt deter folks from making window decals and such, so I wouldnāt worry about it making them mad. If they ask about it, then we can educate them why it should be changed to University of Charlotte. Itās a good way to start a grassroots movement toward the name change.
itās not my rules about flags, itās the accepted rules of flag design from vexillologists around the world.
Of course, Canada does have a great flag. So does the USA.
Canada, shnmada. >:(
Actually, I do love the Canadian Flagā¦ very sharp.
I do like the idea of our crown as opposed to the city crown. Either way, nice work on that flag Hooner.
LOVE the idea of a pick axe in the center and let it be the X thatās been shown previously!
I actually made one with our crown overtop of some crossed pickaxes last night. Pretty sure thatās going to be my final designā¦ just trying to figure out which colors go where.
Unfortunately, failure to follow the āsave early, save oftenā rule bit me square in the ass last night. Iāll remake it tonight.

We should have bought that damn school when we had the chance and put an alumni club right in the middle of Myers Park.
That was one argument we faced during our student org days. I really didnāt know how to answer without sounding too arrogant.
Has anyone considered a Hornetās Nest?
No, itās not.

I always saw that and wondered if thatās what it was.
Figured as much.
The most obvious aspect of it, I never put that together. Thanks for clarifying.
Three things (just some random but sort of related thoughts):
- I wish we had a motto.
- I wish our caps and gowns were hunter green (no excuses for this really, the price different has to be minimal, but why form traditions and pride in your colors you know? Thatās dumb).
- Why donāt we have a graduation speaker ever? Charlotte is a big place, Iām sure we can find prominent members of society to talk to our graduating classes every year. I find the little speal by CHP about why we donāt have one during the graduation ceremony kind of pathetic in all honesty.

I would have much rather listened to an esteemed member of society give a last piece of advice and inspiration to carry with me into the real world, than sit and listen to two thousand nine hundred ninety-nine other names only to enjoy less than a split second of hearing my own name called to an arena full of people, 99.7562% of which couldnāt possibly care less.
[size=3][font=calibri]Iām 40 still enjoy reading commencement addresses given by certain folks each yearā¦ They can still be valuable bits of insight no matter how old you areā¦ My graduation was a larger version of my HS graduation, I remember NOTHING about the ceremony at all, thatās a problem.[/font][/size]
The original NC flag

Have lived in this area all my life and never saw this flag until I visited Williamsburg, VA about 10 years ago and saw it in a display with other historical US flags. ???
In my humble opinion, nothing says āState of Charlotteā like a Hornetās Nest.
With that being said, as our esteemed trophy with the mildcats shows us, Hornetās Nest are ugly.
Anyone seen the original NC āHornetās Nestā flag available anywhere? I just found one place online - a flag museum in Columbus, NC.
