So Nevada put a top hat on Mr.Wuf. So what?

It took us a few decades to realize it. And no one is even sure who had it first. Besides, he is a secondary logo – at both universities. So why the big hullaballoo?

N.C. State uses the block ‘S’ logo and the strutting wolf before the single wolf head. Nevada uses its own ‘N’ logo and another wolf logo primarily.

Sharing with your friends is a lesson we’ve been taught since grade school, so let’s put it to practice now. Let’s share.

Now this may seem crazy when there is money to be made and stakes to be claimed. But money isn’t really everything, so let’s lead by example – or moreover, follow one.

According to Kurt Esser, associate athletic director of marketing for Nevada, the University wants things to go back as they were before this controversy erupted – in other words, Nevada is leaving it up to NCSU to let things rest or be the bad guy in this story.

Let’s take a lesson from bullies like the RIAA who demand money wherever the group can get it and not be like them. Why draw this out? Aren’t we really members of the same Wolfpack (or Wolf Pack) community?

Despite claims from Nevada alumni and officials that the school has been using the logo since the 1950s, the school doesn’t feel the need to continue to pursue this. There’s no reason to fight over a simple head.

So let’s be reasonable.

There’s always the option of splitting the use of the logo across border lines. The Mississippi River has been used for cases such as this in the past — such as the dispute over the block ‘T’ between Texas and Tennessee. Why not let Nevada have rights to the logo in the west and NCSU to have it in the east?

Claims from alumni, faculty and general school supporters from both sides say they each have had the logo longer – so as far as anyone knows, there is no clear cut winner.

Nevada is not even on our side of the country, let alone in our conference. And they aren’t causing a decrease in our sales.

The retro look is a popular one, and both schools look to make money off the logo that represents tradition for both schools.

So let’s split the logo right down the center. It’s kind of nice knowing Mr. Wuf has a twin brother out there.

Maybe now they can get together for holidays.
