AAC New Logo

[Guapo]

This better not be real. Lord save us.

I'm pretty sure it's not

 

[HuskyHawk]

I mean, I just googled “new aac logo” if you all feel like doing the same

Did that, got nothing

I particularly appreciate the spelling of ATHLECTIC. Kudos to all involved.

Great catch!

There is something hilariously funny about this. Edit: And yet pathetically sad, all at the same time.

Honestly, the AAC is probably the first thing I have ever come across that "jumped the shark" even before they started actually doing business. From the choice of the name, to the "Power 6" mantra to so many other things including this latest imbecilic mis-step.

It just su**s a** that we have ever been and are still a member of this conference.

The current logo with the star spike thing is one of the worst logos around, so basically anything is better. I don't see why anyone would question changing it, at any time.

Maybe theyll spell out American with the A. That might look cool.

 

[CL82]

Got it! You have to Google "The American"

They might be using a different color but same logo.

I like the logo the way it is. Doesn’t bother me at all. It’s the actual conference that is the problem.

I don’t care what it looks like. You don’t change the mark after the signature wins against Auburn, Florida State, OU, Louisville, Baylor, etc. That’s just marketing 101.

A strong UConn will help the AAC a lot.. and by extension UConn helps UConn.

The AAC has actually outperformed the pundits expectations to their dismay. It’s pointless and absurd to throw rocks.

 

[UconnU]

It's too soon to change the logo and I kind of like the logo. It’s not bad at all.

Someone tweet this at Flug.

Greg Flugar ruined my life

If they are replacing the AAC logo, why are they taking out half the court?

Imagine the courts just getting a face lift.

Not a new logo. Hurley has ruled out the 3 from left side of basket.

Russian intervention ?

A red star, five-pointed and filled (★), is an important symbol often associated with communist ideology, particularly in combination with hammer and sickle. It has been widely used in flags, state emblems, monuments, ornaments, and logos.

i always thought the star was designed to rep location of schools in conf.

Regardless, I am sure ESPN will up their offer once they see the new logo.

 

[Robertelamin]

Found it. The 13 stars are for the number of schools that play football, basketball or both:

American, love it or leave it. Wait no jk, please don’t go!

 

[freescooter]

Did they hire a local kindergarten? It has a cartoon like appearance.

No. They brought in Warde Manuel. He did it on his computer.

The two alternate logos on that page are so simple and clear -- very "AFC" and "NFC." The primary logo feels like it's trying way too hard to be noticed in the context of the secondary logos.

If you change your logo after National Championships in 99, 2004, 2011 and 2013 because you got a deal from Nike you can change anything after anything. Especially if the new one is worse than the original.

 

[freescooter]

I personally don’t care if they change the logo. The current one is fine. A little too busy for my taste but not awful. What is interesting is the effort to be known as the American which hasn’t really caught on. Too long I think. And AAC just gets confusing. AmCon maybe would be better.

As far as the league itself goes, the football side is better than anyone ever imagined. And really as good as any really. I doubt any other league champ would have relished playing UCF last year or the Houston team that beat Oklahoma and Louisville handily or even the UCF team that won the Peach avfew years ago. The HUGE disappointment has been the basketball side. If you told me a league with UConn Memphis Temple Cincinatti and Wichita State wouldn’t regularly have 5-6 bids I wouldn’t believe it. We and several of the others really spit the bit.

 

[Guapo]

I really think they should have kept the Big East name.

 

[HuskyAlum012]

I love the BY just as much as the next guy... But this logo is a concept made from someone in December of 2017...

 

[Guapo]

Script "American" or go home

Shhhhhh....... it's more fun if you believe!

 

[temery]

It's awful.

 

[Vancat]

OMG someone tell them it's misspelled before they put it on the floor!!!!!!

 

[Adios]

I am confident Aresco won't screw up. I hope.
