Top 5 College Sneakers for 2010

Here at Moxsters, we have our own dream list of colleges for whom we’d like to make sneakers, sooner than later of course. For 2009 CLC listed their most profitable college licenses, and its no surprise that our top five schools pretty much align.

Colleges we want to see sneakers

We’re not talking a simple screen printed logo, or an embroidered insignia, we’re talking a full sneaker designed for Longhorn fans – which leads us right into our list of top college licenses from CLC.

University of Florida – Gators

51,000+ body of students, 150 years of academia and recent NCAA national championships in both their football and basketball programs Florida has had tremendous success that has totaled 17 championships in all over the years. A iconic logo of an intimidating gator head would fit the side of a shoe nicely with a swish element or logo’d background. We currently have some Gator sneakers with the image of a real alligator and a scaly texture.

University of Georgia – Bulldogs

Established in 1785! the University of Georgia has established successful sports teams in everything from baseball and tennis to football and gymnastics. With a student body near 35,000, they may pale in size to some of the other schools but they have consistently produced top echeleon professional football players, from Herschel Walker to Hines Warm and most recently Matthew Stafford. The simple character logo coupled with a simple design with their fight song would make for some truly awesome fan footwear.

Louisiana State University – Tigers

LSU has had tremendous success in their football program, especially as of late. LSU and Florida have owned the national championship and have sparked a riveting rivalry in the last five years. This national recognition coupled with an awesome logo design using colors off the beaten path can make for some awesome sneakers. We had the limited time Geaux Tigers sneakers that sold out – pictured below.

University of Texas at Austin – Longhorns

Texas at Austin is the definition of a big school – 51,000+ in their student body and one of the most successful sports programs in all of college sports the Longhorns have a rich history dating back over 100 years and their simple, iconic logo makes a great element for making a sneaker design.

University of Michigan – Wolverines

Not the largest student body but one of the most storied, the University of Michigan might have not been in the top 5 earning licenses last year, but they were in the top 10. U of M is approaching nearly 200 years of academia and has the most wins (nearly 900) in NCAA football history. Wolverine fans love their football, and we’d love to have a college sneaker just for them.
