No cotton on Texas Tech's
seal? Cotton is still king around West Texas, but Texas Tech University officials have plucked the fluffy fiber's image from the school's seal.
Cotton bolls that form a cross in the middle of the school shield and represent 10 cotton-producing counties around Tech were removed from the new design. Instead, a more general "vine-like" image will represent all of agriculture.
The change is part of a broader marketing campaign set to begin early next year that Tech officials hope will improve the university's reputation nationally.
First there was dancing at Baylor, now the cotton's gone from Tech's seal. What's next?
