Most of the merch was the old logo. The only new stuff was the unisex charcoal tshirt posted earlier, white and blue hats and water bottles. Otherwise, it didn't appear our logo even changed.

They were doing pretty good sales of tshirts and hats with new logo before and after game.

Picked up a blue hat. New logo looks sharp on it. Not much else with it available to buy other than what MattMang mentioned, along with some blue golf shirts with the new logo and some keychains.
Wasn't a total branding fail. It's not like they completely ignored it. Logo was displayed in a few places on banners & signs around the stadium, & on the jumbotron (and on the cheerleaders' t-shirts
) . Also thought these posters they handed out for autographs after the scrimmage looked good - better than nothing at all:

No worries - I'll just hit up the Co-Op at the Waterbury branch next week sometime. The posters will do for now.
Starting to come around on the red, too - still would prefer grey accents though...

My favorite part of the day was when they threw t-shirts into the crowd, watching people unroll them and discover they weren't even UConn shirts - they were Dunkin Donuts shirts. This, followed by people rolling them up and throwing them back.

My little brother caught one. I was really bummed it wasn't a UCONN shirt.
I definitely agree that was a stupid plan.

More posters. Saw this on their Facebook page - Webster Bank's giving these out at all branches starting tomorrow (4/23) to commemorate 10 years of UConn football at the Rent. How hard would it have been to have had these printed & ready for the scrimmage? Another layup that they missed.

Isn't the intent to get people to come into the branches?
