A NEW ECU LOGO FOR THIS CENTURY
East Carolina’s been very clever over the years playing wink wink/nudge nudge with their logo, even putting a cleverly artsy AAAAAAARRRGGHHHHH on a billboard to welcome Virginia Tech fans to their 2008 matchup.
Yet some internet genius–mindful of the times and the sudden resurgence of piracy on the Somali coast–decided P.D. needed a makeover, Mogadishu-style. Regardez:
From: HERE.
He’s missing a few things, but it’s hard to work in the qat-stained teeth, knockoff Italian loafers, and RPG in there. And please, not to be all The Big Lead on you, but someone did send this to us, and we don’t know the author. If the anonymous internet genius who made this will stand up, we’d be more than happy to hat tip you and send metaphorical cocktails your way all night.

They’ve had an “arrrrrrrrr” billboard on I-40 West in Greensboro for several months now. The “arrrrggggghhhh” (sp.) is a newfangled thang.

Nice. I just hope they don’t play the Merchant Marine Academy or SUNY-Maritime.
