Block C Helmet is back

[ConnHuskBask]

The Block C is our version of the Nebraska "N"', the Tennessee "T", the Georgia "G", and the Oregon "O".

It's conservative, classy, traditional, excellent for marketing/branding purposes. There are many people in the central time zone who identify the Block C with UConn. Whereas they can't identify what college or high school is represented by our current Husky.

I highly doubt that.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I'm in Dallas. My friends know the Block C. They are puzzled by the new Husky.

From a FB sense this is correct. Randy originally picked it to imitate Big Ten styling. The big programs use a single letter.

A - Alabama, Arizona
F - Florida (alt)
G - UGA
H - Hawaii (not huge but known)
I - too many to note
M - Michigan, and Minnesota,
N - Nebraska
O - OSU (non helmet logo), Oregon
P - Purdue
R - Rutgers (not good, but in the B1G)
S - Stanford, NC State, Cuse (see R, but in the ACC)
T - Tennessee
U - Utah (in the B12)
V - Va Tech (VT)
W - Wisconsin, Washington, West Virginia (WV)
Y - BYU


Seeing as the C was unclaimed, it makes a lot of sense from a branding standpoint.

I do like the white helmet more, at least with these unis.

Yes. There are others that could claim the "C" (California, Colorado, Cincinnati) ... let's claim it first!

Cincinnati has used a 'C' logo for quite some time. Theirs is rather distinctive looking. Ours is more generic.

Cincy has a quirky C. Ours is generic with class.

The Chicago Bears are a blue blood NFL team and a generic "C" is good enough for them.

Found this on ebay last week.

The Bears stole their "C" from the University of Chicago, if I am correct, while the Green Bay Packers copied UGA.

These days, can't even name pro teams with a moniker already used. Has gotten really pathetic. UCF used to be the Citronauts, then the Golden Knights. Colleges other than UCF were prepared to sue the NHL Vegas Golden Knights.

Vince Dooley took the G from the Packers.

I believe UGA still pays Green Bay for the use of the logo.

You are correct, though UGA won't admit it. Packers granted permission, no royalties.

Who had the G helmet logo first?

We might as well go with the block C. Then sue anyone who uses a block C.

Creative revenue streams!

Winnipeg Jets didn't have a problem with NYJ.

 

[uconnphil2016]

Anyone been to the bookstore recently? Is there block C stuff on sale?

Wrong footed, but perhaps you're thinking of objections to Vegas using the name of the U.S. Army's Golden Knights parachute team. The U.S. Army and USMA filed a complaint with the U.S. Patent and Trademark office. www.nytimes.com/2018/01/12/sports/hockey/vegas-golden-knights-army-trademark.html

In response, "The (Vegas Golden Knights) hockey team (owned by a West Point graduate) noted in its statement that other Golden Knights trademark owners had also coexisted with the Army without problems. (Reports say that the hockey team cleared its name with Clarkson University in Potsdam, N.Y., which uses the Golden Knights name, as well as the University of Central Florida.)"

During the playing of our national anthem, central florida fans inexplicably yell Knights in place of night, i.e., "Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there". Apparently, they object to vegas fans inexplicably impersonating ucf fans. Go figure!

“Citronauts”? What a cool name. They should have never changed it. Love the logo also...

NHL's Vegas Golden Knights denied trademark due to Upstate NY team with same name

That's what I am thinking about.

Seattle's NHL team won't consider the Metropolitans name because of the NY Mets. And the Seattle Metropolitans were the first American team to win the Stanley Cup.

The Winnipeg Jets existed not too long ago?

Columbia in 2013. They now use their lion logo on helmets.
