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?

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!

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

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.
