Concept football helmet

[freescooter]

I've never liked the new Husky Logo. To me It looks like generic clip art that could just as easily be used on a travel softball team try out flyer. The Fluffy Dog was at least unique to Uconn, even though it was clearly a Samoyed. I prefer understated looks on uniforms. JMO but I think an all-white helmet with a thick blue stripe, red pinstriping outside that, and a player number Bama Style would look good. You could even add helmet stickers of paw prints, Derp Husky Heads, Oak Leafs or Block C's.

I agree with most of this. I am in the minority I guess on helmets. Just pack ONE and stick with it. I prefer blue but I am fine with white. Pick ONE logo and use it all the time too. I would go with a blue helmet and white husky, but I actually think the hooked c would look good as would just UCONN sort of like the basketball jersey.

UConn should get a sponsorship with Milk Bones and put cross Milk Bones on the helmet.

I hate off season threads.

Why would one follow them.... Then comment?

Because there is nothing else to read?

It would be great to read about spring practice...or how they will fit within the scholarship limits...or the health of the quarterbacks...or who the new DC is.

But...instead we will rehash the block C versus the happy doggie logo.

It's fine...it's off-season... hopefully we have more substantive things to talk about soon.

Carry on...lol.

I thought that the "F5" sticker on the back of UConn helmets was great...what a puzzler without explanation....it turns out that F5 is the "Refresh" command on a keyboard...now that's old school.

The one you posted is the actual good one. Everyone always says they miss the 2003-12 or so one which was terrible. Could you imagine being a grown man and wearing a golf shirt with that cartoon on it to the office? No. The new tough dog? Yes. Fun fact: the new dog logo has been around longer than our historic and legendary block c ever was!

Really good point, however, I have a lot of golf shirts but none with a dog logo. I don’t purchase UCONN apparel with either of the husky logo, both look cheap and aren’t recognizable to non CT people. Block C and UCONN they get.

I don't hate it.

Change the helmet color to national flag blue and lose the gold center stripe and I think you’d have something there.

I like the white dog on the sleeve

Are they just doing maintenance on them? Looks like some helmets are scuffed up pretty good

While looking for Husky helmets to make a graphic for another thread, I came across an article from August this year in which AI was used to make concept helmets. We were listed at the top, and what AI made is absolutely hideous, like it doesn't look remotely like a husky and seems more similar to a deranged bobcat. Derpy husky looks better than this trash.

Somehow the author thought this made sense: "This creation is far better than the team’s normal helmet — a white shell with a block ‘C’." SAY WHAT!?!?!

My thought on almost all of these is they are too predictable. And too similar. They show a wild animal with bared fangs and think it is cool. Yuck.

 

[huskidork]

complaining about the same 3 things for like 10 years now it seems, the Rent, QB play, and whether or not we should change the logo back to the old one

They may be on to something there...... or more like they're just on something.

It's an uncanny resemblance! Are we the UConn Thrillers?
