Did we donate our old helmets......?

[UCFBfan]

To Coginchaug HS football?? I saw this on the Courant today and almost dropped my coffee! For you Block C logo lovers, the Block C is alive and well! The helmets are a lighter blue but those decals are identical

When I saw them on the Channel 3 highlights last night, all I could think of was the copyright infringement suit brought against one of the shoreline schools (Morgan?) over their husky logo on the 50 yard line. (Then UConn changed to their new look).

And according to a friend of mine who is a UCONN Alum have not dropped the suit even though they rebranded the logo.

 

[Marty Jackson]

are you suggesting Uconn sued a school over the logo?
That's pathetic.
getting CT kids to emulate or want to wear the Uconn brand should be a good thing.

You have to take steps to protect your trademarks in all cases because if you don't when someone you don't want using it takes it you have no legal recourse.

They make a lot of money off licensing and can't have people say selling gear for half what Nike can because they are just stealing the logo.

Not sure they would have to pursue the case past a change, but I'm sure one of our lawyers do.

And yet the knockoff artists are still rampant in the blue lot selling hats for "five bucks five bucks"

Miss that Block C.

 

[BlueDogs]

Love the Block C. It's who we are. Classic, classy, no flash and down to business. It's says we brought lunch pails and are going to war in the trenches. Need to get back to our Northeastern power football heritage. Give me snow, mud and blood .

 

[UConnDan97]

Maybe we can ask Coginchaug if we can borrow it back? We NEED it back...

They could sell rights for a penny to ct hs's without opening the floodgates.

That still doesn't make any sense to me why they would do it, but I imagine they could make it work legally.

When Uconn would show up on TV, friends of mine from the other parts of the country used to comment on how cool and old school UConn's uniforms were, I used to hear a lot of compliments. Shame they changed it.

then billboards, advertising, and goodwill don't make sense either.

I don't think you are getting the branding and intellectual property.

UConn marketing it's trademarks and letting rinky dink high schools steal their logos are not the same thing.

Why not just let these rinky dink high schools pretend their diploma has the same value as UConn's?

The schools are better off creating their own logos anyway instead of stealing someone else's.

Saw this early also, I just waited to comment as many told me to stop with my hate of the new logo...I feel I am in good company here.
WARDE!!! BRING BACK THE BLOCK C.........

 

[Alum86]

....and Morgan HS Clinton. LOL

the new logo has grown on me, but I'm still cold on the uniforms. It'd be easy to mix the new pup with the old Block C. No reason we can't do both - best of both worlds, old and new.

 

[Huskyforlife]

for the love of all things great give us the old helmets back.

I agree 100%. We had very little identity as a Football program and the Block C was the majority of it.
