Why does the Penn State "Nittany Lion" footprint decal have 5 toe prints instead of four like a normal lion's?

Because it isn't a "normal" lion!

Richard Dawkins attempts to answer this : \n[The embryo of every 4-limbed  vertebrate has five "fingers and toes".]\n"We tend to think that  the possession of 5 digits is deeply stamped in the hands and feet  of tetrapods (4-limbed  vertebrates).  Yet {some early vertebrates] had  7 toes....8 toes....6 toes. ...My tentative guess is that\nin those early times the different species really did benefit from their respective numbers of toes...Later the tetrapod limb design hardened at 5 digits because some internal embryonic  process came to rely upon that number. In the adult the number is frequently reduced...in..modern horses to just one, the middle toe."

HERE is your answer...........\nFirst of all, it is not just #10!!!\nThere are over 102 players on Cal's roster.\nFrom number 1-20, 17 of the numbers are worn by two players!!!\n29 numbers are worn by two players.  However, every shared number is worn by one on offense and one on defense.\nI go to the Cal games.  It is not a problem; just amusing.\nHere is Cal's numerical roster. \nhttp://calbears.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/cal-m-footbl-mtt-num.html

That would very likely be a registered trademark...you should contact the Spurs directly, as they own the mark.

There'a actual mention of it on their website that I could find.\nBut it looks like a picture of a Bulldog to me.\nwww.eastonsd.com/athletics

You may find a t-shirt with the saying "Re-Building Since 1957/Detroit Lions",at a flea market,maybe the Salvation Army, or in a local Detroit trash can.Really why would you sport anything that said you were a Lions fan? You are better off wearing a Texans or Browns jersey...lol.You should just wear a Steelers Jersey,I do....Luv Ya Black n Gold.....

Brutus Buckeye\nOne of the more visible symbols of Ohio State athletics is Brutus Buckeye, the school’s mascot. In 1965, an art student designed and introduced the first Brutus, while the name was chosen in a contest. The mascot began as a hardened papier mache affair that looked like a bowling ball with legs. In 1975, a radical new Brutus was designed with a prune-like head and a man’s body. That attempt was booed off the field and was re-worked, giving way to a mascot comparable to the beloved present-day Brutus. \n\nThe original choices for Ohio State’s mascot included a ram, an elk, a moose and the leading candidate, a male deer. Due to the skittish nature of deer, the idea of a mascot was tabled until January 1941 when “Chris,” a German police dog owned by an assistant cheerleader, made an appearance at a basketball game. The dog’s career was short-lived and OSU remained without an official mascot until the 1960s.

I have one from  a hawkeyes/ wolverines game a few years ago that says Ann Arbor is a Sl*t!  lol.  Look around, you'll find one.  If not, go to the mall and have one made.

In 1962, the equipment manager, Jack Hart was instructed to put the logo on one side to see how it would do for the year.  Previously, the Steelers had put the players numbers on the helmets (like Alabama). Anyways, back to 1962, the Steelers went 9-5 and were the winningest franchise to date and made it to the 'Playoff Bowl'. During the season the logo was on a yellow helmet, they wanted to do something special for the playoffs so they went to Black. This helped the logo stand out more. A combination of interest of the one-sided logo and superstition kept the Steeler's helmet the way it is to this day.

The Texans' cow logo looks like a fat guy wearing a thong.  The Titan's logo looks like a bad gang sign.  Both look awful.\n\nSimpler is almost always better and more tasteful: Chicago, Green Bay, Minnesota, Dallas, Kansas City, Cleveland, Indianapolis and Pittsburgh are the way to do it right; the old Jets logo (Namath era) was also a winner.\n\nThe only complex NFL logos that look good are Buffalo, Detroit and Philadelphia, and even they are still simple.  Also, the old solid-black Atlanta logo was far better than the current one.\n\n\n.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the pewter and crimson is awsome!! I is not boring like 'Shittsburgh, but not over the top like 'Limpver. Using the jolly roger on the helment improves on the Raider logo. As a Cowboy "fan"atic it pains me to say this, the Giants in the red jersey is TIGHT as an alternate uniform!!!

Aniala8tor is only partly correct..at the time Coventry arranged sponsorship from Talbot cars, written sponsors logos on shirts were not allowed by the FA, so Coventry came up with the idea of changing their shirt design to actually incorporate the "T" symbol of their sponsors. They got away with wearing this shirt for a whole season, and appeared on TV with it as well. although the BBC were very unhappy with it because it was indirect advertising.\n\nActual written sponsors names first started to appear on shirts in i982. Liverpool were the first major club to do this , and wore the logo of Crown Paints, although several lower division clubs wore sponsors logos before this..for instance Watford wore the logo of Solvite glue.

Prettier? Are you NUTS! Since when are American symbols judged on their "prettiness." I see why our country is going down the toilet! People are debating over how things look! How about what it stands for? It is a known symbol of racism and intolerance... really "pretty"! So, this DOES make you a REDNECK, ie, a hoosier with no sense of moral responsibility!

Tough Question...as the spring games finish up. I was born and bred Big 10(Minnesota) to me Penn St. is NOT a TRUE big 10 school. Anywho..Ohio St had the "O" and Michigan has the "D" but the league schedule could let Purdue,Iowa and Minnesota sneek into the fold. Those 3 always get 1 upset win. Order of Finish 1. Ohio St. 2. Michigan 3. Iowa 4. Wisconsin 5. Minnesota 6. Penn St. 7. Purdue 8. Michigan St. 9. Northwestern 10. Indiana 11. Illinois

It was against Miami. VT and Florida were the onlt 2 teams last year to "test" wear a new jersey developed by Nike. I know because unfortunately the Gators wore theirs in Jacksonville against my Bulldogs when I was present to see the Dawgs undefeated hopes go down the toilet, 14-10. If only DJ hadn't been hurt.......oh well, there's always next year....GO DOGS!!

The numbers on the balls are only there to help people distinguish their balls from another can of the same brand on an adjacent court. \n\nNumbers on the tennis balls are right under the logo. This is so that when you have, say, 8 adjacent courts and some are using the same brand or type of ball, then there won't be a mix-up of someone's ball sprays onto the other court. Unless, of course, they're both using the same number tennis balls. For instance, if you are using Penn 3s, the court on your left has Penn 1s, and the court to your right has Wilson 3s, you can tell at a glance which court to throw the extra ball to and in turn they can get your lost ball to you easier.
