What is this Texas A&M Aggies Logo?

Centennial anniversary logo of the 12th Man used during the 2021-22 season. Official anniversary date is January 2, 2022. Often imitated but never duplicated, Texas A&M University has defended its 12th Man trademark against infringement over 500 times since becoming the sole owner in 1990. The 12th Man dates back to the 1922 Dixie Classic bowl game when Texas A&M student E. King Gill came out of the Fair Park stands in Dallas and stood ready to enter the game as injuries mounted for the under-manned Aggies against the mighty Praying Colonels of Centre College. While Gill never entered the game, which the Aggies went on to win 22-14, his actions have been forever remembered by the Texas A&M student body, which remains standing throughout Aggie football games to symbolize their willingness to come out of the stands and enter the contest if needed. In current vernacular, the 12th Man refers to the student body at Texas A&M, as well as all supporters of Texas A&M athletics teams.
