I’m ok with the husky on the 50 as long as we get CONNECTICUT in 1 end zone and HUSKIES in the other.
 
Surprised nobody has suggested a picture of Dan Hurley

Ugh... really wanted #BlockC and CT state outline at midfield.
 
Actually, I kinda like this as is.

Yale might be outrecruiting us right now, but we'll be back in a matter if time. I really cannot see how the school is going to change from FBS status. A solid schedule obviously will help. It looks to me as if they are still trying to develop the program's culture at the Rent.

If Geno approved of independence, knowing he's a football fan, I think we'll be ok.
 
The Husky is our symbol, not the state outline or oversized block C’s. Having the C on the helmet for some games is fine, but the field design should emphasize the Husky, especially now that it’s not that fluffy one.

Meh, not a fan of the Blue Wolf which has only been our symbol for a few years. I like the idea of the state outline, either around the Block C or the Husky. It is a reminder that we are Connecticut's team. Something we've drifted away from with the "UCONN" rebranding.

I guess that’s the significant dividing line among the fan base. I much prefer UConn as our brand and the new Husky as our symbol.
UConn is what we’re known as across the country and beyond. It’s our version of UCLA. Why would we want to diminish a brand that has strong recognition in the marketplace and the media? Schools and businesses pay big bucks for that kind of branding.

We ran away from our branding when we dropped the white husky. Prior to this recent change, all of the Jonathans except for the first one were white huskies. Suzie (lax) lamely talked about how there was no such thing as a white husky, which was idiotic.

A big part of our brand is that we are a land grant state university. The people who fill the stands aren't national they are state fans. Absolute agree that UConn is a recognizable nickname but it is a nickname. We are the University of Connecticut. It is a branding mistake to run away from that, in my opinion.
 
well ...

I remember the confusion of a Glastonbury co-ed who's father pushed her to UCONN. Having spent years 1-15 in Ontario, Canada ... that Yukon really threw her.

There are a lot of University of _____________ .... and many many Land Grant University (though with Horsebarn Hill and animals present from your first site of campus - we are unique). But UCONN is us. It is distinctive. And I do love when someone has trouble with the sound or spelling. It sticks the Landing.

Actually, I believe they were Samoyeds, not Huskies. As for UConn v Connecticut I get that opinions are varied. I simply prefer UConn.

The actual dogs were Huskies. The old logo was a Samoyed. All the more reason why we really need to stop arguing about this either way.

It's like you don't know us at all anymore.

OK - so, i didn't know ONE of the 14 mascots was supposedly a mix. Read my sentence again. It's a fact.

I can't find the article, but the artist who penned the "smiling husky" logo used his pet *Samoyed* as the inspiration.

"You don't know us at all anymore", if you believe we will stop debating this. (It's kind of BY meme.) It's like suggesting that we stop posting about pizza.

(You are right though the 1980, give or take, logo was based on the artists Samoyed. That doesn't change the school had had a white husky as a mascot since 1935 until Suzy randomly decided that they don't exist.)

Should we also go back to U-Conn?

Nope.

For the record I have no objection to using UConn. The notion of using it exclusively or ignoring Connecticut branding is bad marketing in my opinion.

I was just being a Richard. The pictures feature dogs wearing U-Conn banners
 
Lol @ students trying to sell the mascot in protest against the establishment in 1970. There's plenty of area on this earth to live a tribal life off the grid. Some people....
