#15: Syracuse Orange

No matter how cool a block letter logo looks, it is still a block letter logo. Syracuse is not the only team to try this, as Michigan State and Stanford both have experience with the design as well; this makes the Orange’s logo unoriginal. The Spartans and Cardinal have also performed better than Syracuse in recent memory, making it comparatively less intimidating. Simplistic, unoriginal, and indicative of mediocrity. Not a great combo.

#14: North Carolina State Wolfpack

The wolf head design would place NC State much higher than 14th, but their primary logo is essentially the same as Syracuse’s, except this time it has an “N” and a “C” thrown onto it. The Wolfpack is also historically subpar and has been traditionally outshined by their rival UNC. The look is merely not impactful enough to keep up with those ahead of it.

#13: Duke Blue Devils

If this list applied primarily to basketball, Duke would be quite the team to beat. However, in the world of football, their letter “D” insignia means practically nothing. But to be fair, their devil design looks like Speed Racer with elf ears, so they were underdogs from the get-go.
