Many of us remember growing up thinking the cornucopia was called a "loom," since that makes logical sense looking at the logo. Fruit of the (thing they're literally falling out of, gotta be a) Loom. Then remember learning the word Cornucopia later and thinking. What in the fuck I thought this was called a "loom" because of the picture in my tidy whities.

If the logo was a cornucopia in the past, there would be images of old clothing with that logo on the internet. There are only 2 photos on the internet showing a cornucopia logo on T-shirts (a black shirt and a white one). Both show the logo printed directly on the cloth. But back in the 90s that wasn't a thing. FotL T-shirts had the label sewn in, not printed on. And both photos are of really low quality and monochrome, so you can't see that the logo was modified with a pen. Also, the logo looks different between those 2 photos.

Yes, now you've discovered what's known as "the Mandela effect." Congratulations!
