Today, as I was riding to get my haircut, I saw a women with a full length Purdue University t-shirt dress.  No way is that from West Lafayette.  The logo of course, was right at her chest, and I stared intently trying to figure out which logo they were using.  It had elements of the old logo (not the Griffin) but had an italic block P.
