Bring back the white dog

[Guapo]

I'm happy with the new logo but was more than willing to compromise. You, obviously, not so much. So did you prefer the previous version, the one that looked happy to see you when you got home from work? I felt that one was too cute with the red tongue sticking out and Farrah Fawcett inspired fur. We needed a little aggression.

Red tongue was bad.

I want all white w/script UConn underneath

Projects flagship university...View attachment 49534

I'm trying to think of a "flagship university" that actually uses its mascot on its unis in any sport. Nothing comes top of mind other than Spartans and Trojans.

that’s a solid point, except neither Michigan State or USC are flagship universities.

That are just a handful of flagship universities I could think of that do use their logos on their uniforms: Texas, Colorado and South Carolina

FYI to see the evolution. It wouldn't surprise me if we went back to the white dog in the next iteration.

I saw a fan at the game the other day rocking the 1959 Husky. No kidding.

I wouldn’t count a patch like that

yeah, it’s awesome that they’re making apparel with that on it. Saw it at the book store the other day.

good call

Also Iowa, sorry, I deleted my prior post.

Bring back the flag with 13 stars!! 50....just too much.

Also, why limit the logo to only Huskies? A nice Cane Corso would be more intimidating. If matching the name to the actual breed isn't important, why not get creative?

which does not look like goofy fluffy logo we had.

They are both beautiful dogs. I like the original white as the black marked husky is used by 3 or 4 schools where as UConn was the only school that had a white husky as mascot.

How about we take the new logo scale back the blue and have him facing to the right. I think that can work. Also get rid of any straight lines.

This is interesting. I didn't realize Penn St went old school again back in 2001 for a few years. I think our new dog is far better than their cat.

 

[Palatine]

Our new dog is a fairly generic take on a husky, it could be any of a half dozen schools. The white husky was a a unique image, we owned it.

My guess is that Suzie thought the white husky was racist and had to be changed. Not joking. That is how modern academia works.

sure, if by 'foe' you mean a pork chop or veal cutlet that magically jumped off the stove. lol.
on the udder hand, smart pooch for choosing the couch instead of that sleep pad in the other room. 'why would I sleep on the floor, next to the hot air vent which will melt my eyeballs and nose, when there is an unused and perfectly good sofa right here?'

 

[Huskyforlife]

I still buy everything with the 1959 on it. Best logo.

 

[joober jones]

This is what happens when Geordi tries to watch games without his visor. Captain Picard should really do something about this.

if ever a conversation about Uconn mascots, the football program, and a picture of a dog could perfectly sum up and align all three topics this is it!

I honestly like both of those logos

Agreed. Why else would they change a logo unique to UConn only for something that looks like too many other logos. PC diversity where there was none needed.

One small reason they switched it because current M & W student-athletes complained the old one wasn't aggressive enough, but go off.

So odd that no one heard of any student athletes at the time complaining about the logo. But revisionist history seems to be the norm lately. I guess if you post it on social media it must be true.
