Ralphie Makes A Splash In Regatta

CU alum's spinnaker turns heads

BOULDER — As any good Colorado Buffaloes fan knows, the "Ralphie" logo is one of the most recognized and most popular college logos in the United States.

There is no mistaking the distinctive logo, and no doubt to whom it belongs. When you see it, you immediately think Colorado Buffaloes. It can be found on hats, caps, coats, luggage, sweaters, shirts, backpacks, scarves, stationery — just about anywhere a logo can be displayed.

But CU alum and ardent supporter Tim Harrington recently found a spot for Ralphie that may be a first — on the spinnaker of his boat, an E-scow vessel that he regularly sails on Grand Lake in the mountains of Colorado.
