Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 4010664, member: 974"] The reason there are grape vines on the Connecticut Crest is that grapes were considered a luxury in 17th century England yet they grew wild in the colony. Sort of a fruit version of the streets being paved with gold. I have always maintained the University of Connecticut logo should have had a grape vine rather than a leaf in the center of it logo. It would keep state imagery front and center and pay homage to the central role wine plays with the UConn student body. [/QUOTE]
