The truck also had one of those “don’t tread on me” decals, if it helps narrow it down.

Not a university, maybe a local sports team? Would you feel comfortable sharing the state this was spotted in/which state the license plate was from?

(Narrator voice; it was a university)

The truck had Massachusetts plates, and the other “Don’t Tread on Me” decal had “Live Free or Die” (the New Hampshire state motto) printed below it.

As far as I know New Hampshire University is always abbreviated as “NHU”, so I’m not sure what the “NU” might be.

Pretty sure I got it! Looks to be a recolored version of one of Norwich University’s logos. Search for NU sports logo got a hit in maroon and gold; reversed image searched and received these results.

I think that is a confirmed solve.

I had no idea what a private senior military college was, so this is an interesting learn.

Thanks!

No idea. Reverse image search is coming up empty.

Yeah, I was having the same results—google image search and ChatGPT couldn’t identify it.

don't see any nebraska university / cornhusker logos that look like that. good luck! my bet is a local sports team, like someone else suggested
