AAC New Logo

[CL82]

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

It's the new marketing plan. Combine athletic with electric to create a new term to describe the exciting play int the conference:

They should hire @Penfield

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.

you know we won in 2014, right?

Keep the second "c" for Athlectric to highlight the eclectic nature of a geographically-dispersed conference that includes a state flagship, state secondaries, former metropolitans, directionals, religiously-affiliated schools, and even a major US Service academy in the lead sport.

Sadly, it cannot core a apple.

Now that I think of it, the American Athletic Conference is an atrocious name.
Beyond that, like someone said, the acronym sounds like the ACC.

What a disaster, how did people agree on that?

It's the most vanilla, nothing, conference name.

The logo generally sucks too.

Love how the auto-correct underlining is incorporated into the logo.

My recollection is that they were fully aware of this, and at the announcement made a point to say how they were going to emphasize "The American", rather than the AAC acronym. If you look at the branding posted you will see that they do that. There is no AAC logo. It's the big A and "American".

Naturally however, sports fans are used to using acronyms for college conferences. Ivy avoiding it by being only three letters as it is. So people began using the confusing AAC. The didn't want "USA" because they aspired to be seen as better than the old Conference USA. While the name isn't ideal, I haven't seen many better ideas floated. "Big" is overused. Pacific and Atlantic are taken. Metro is another old one they didn't want to revive, but I think "Metro Atlantic Conference" would have captured what we are. Still you've got an acronym conflict with the MAC.

Hasn’t been revealed yet, but the process has began to put it in place. The conference already struggles with brand recognition, so why change the logo to throw people off?
Be on the lookout for any leaked pictures.

Is the logo just a bunch of empty seats?

And we changed our logo BEFORE the 2014 title.

They wanted to be first in the phone book. How'd that work out?

E comes before N. They missed it by that much

Anyone want to volunteer to become the Uconn priest to help us get back into the Big East?

I'm giving you 5 minutes to correct this post.

UConn did not leave the Big East, therefore we do not "get back into the Big East."

I know that you're a good UConn fan, so please just recognize your transgression.

I apologize to the Uconn gods. Namely Jim Calhoun, Jesus Shuttlesworth and Senor.

The second transgression was implying that we may need to join the "new" Big East. While some want that, I think it would be a major mistake.

And a highly selective private school 350 miles from its nearest conference mate.

Yes, it is the American's version of Duke/Stanford/Vanderbilt/Northwestern, though to be fair, Tulane used to tout itself as the university with the greatest average distance from school to enrolled students' homes, AND the Grateful Dead did sing, "Houston, too close to New Orleans."

Also it’s UConn, jus sayin

I mean, could it just be they decided to change the darker wood grain inside the 3-pt line?

 

[amory]

I already made a new logo for them years ago when they were going to be called the A12. I even posted it here. I GUESS they're still welcome to use it.

 

[UconnU]

We should just name ourselves Conference 6(C6) aka the 6th conference.

 

[LIuconn]

Too many courts have the wood stain look, would be nice to go back to something more traditional instead of chasing trends

 

[Austin316]

They could put a P6 logo there

Edit: they’ve been advertising #americanpow6r for a while now. I’ll bet they do that.
