Ferris’ bulldog voted best logo in Michigan
The Bulldogs’ logo was voted best in the state during the Detroit Free Press’ weeklong bracket-style vote-off earlier this month. It defeated the Detroit Tigers’ old English D in the final, winning 59 percent of the nearly 20,000 votes cast.
Ferris came out on top thanks to a grassroots voting campaign, which included official news releases from the athletic department and Facebook sharing.
“It has been outstanding to see the pride displayed for our institution, and we hope it builds momentum as we begin another season of Bulldog athletics,” Ferris associate athletic director Jon Coles said in a released statement.
To thank fans for voting, Ferris announced that the first 500 fans at the home football, basketball and hockey league openers will receive free T-shirts with the Bulldog logo.
