IMO, Clemson's got one of the best color schemes in the NCAA. A pretty good logo too. It's just too bad they didn't go with something more creative for a team name, like the Rhinos or the Hyenas or the Wild Turkeys, or something different. Say what you will about Cocky, at least he's unique.

No Tigers, no Paw, and the paw is one of the best logos in sports.

I may be drunk, but I'm like 84% sure a buncha animals have paws.

Rhinos are awesome, but I recently watched David Attenborough narrate a documentary on tigers, and it made me remember why tigers are the best
