That’s the UNLV Rebels’ new logo.
At first glance, it’s a mustachioed cowboy with a magical earring or a pirate wearing the wrong genre of hat or a sandal stepping on a piece of red chewing gum that turned out to be a gem of power or a spaceship blocking out a red sun and descending onto a planet with two blighted continents.
But look deeper, and you’ll see it includes so many visual references to Las Vegas stuff, it looks like even more.

So jokers on social media are taking swings at the busy image.

Clearly a fire trying to burn an F-troop hat which is perched upon some sort of magical space rock.

If you look at it just right, it's a space frog in a cowboy hat

The new UNLV logo looks like a red/black/gray Ninja Turtle in a hat. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. pic.twitter.com/1ZEVHXPeWd
