End of the block C?

[GoatHouse]

I think Block C is a cool look and has some good history with winning associated with UConn Football, but would rather have the Husky.

For our entire department, the Husky is our primary logo. Block C isn't used for every other sport. Hook C is used in baseball, but that's been on their uniform dating back to the '40s? Correct me if I'm wrong.

UConn needs to work on building the football brand back up, and having a consistent logo that people will know represents UConn is the way to do it. I lean Husky since personally I just think it looks better and is sleek, and is unique from other state schools that just have the first letter of the state on their helmet. Michigan "M", Nebraska "N", Minnesota "M". Florida mainly uses the Gator, and every so often the "F" on their helmets as alternates.

I'm cool with having Block C alternates, but for like 1-2 games (like Florida). Not half of the games in the season (gotta be consistent with the brand). FWIW, I like blue helmets with husky with white and blue uniforms. No white helmets, imo.

UConn could have coaches rock the Block C like Dabo does with Clemson (while they wear the tiger paw logo).

The swim team had white caps with the script logo in '83-'85. Wish I still had one.

Would love this as an alternate!

I like the Block C and although I roll old school, I think the husky logo could be incorporated into some phat design if they chose to go the ducks route.

For what it's worth, block C is good enough for 62nd best football helmet in NCAAF according to Buzzfeed. Could be a lot worse.Source: I Ranked All 130 Division I College Football Helmets — How Does Your School Stack Up?

#4 LSU - "One of the truly unique helmet designs. I love having Louisiana State's letters and the logo on the helmet."

Block C and the Husky. Anyone? Or:

I like that

 

[Austin316]

This would be cool for 1 game. You know it would make headlines!

I agree. People look at it as a meme, but I say we take ownership of the meme with pride

 

[WestHartHusk]

Is there a way to donate money and not see Block C posts?

The blue looks so pedestrian to me. No character. Everyone has their like and dislikes i guess. I like Buffalo's blue helmets better

Tell that Pedestrian look to Penn State fans. It's not what you look like, in fancy uniforms, its HOW YOU PLAY.

I love Penn State's white helmets. And yeah, no uniform combo is preferred over team performance but i didn't know anyone here was discussing that.

If you have to resort to discussing uniforms, instead of your teams performances, then there's a good chance your team is pretty poor.

On another note: I bought 2 car magnets of this same size at the Co-Op a couple of years ago to slap on the side of my car when tailgating. While the idea was good, in actuality the magnets need to be 3-4 times larger for the casual passersby to notice them. I asked at various kiosks at the RENT if they were carried in a larger size, explaining this, and, of course was told that management didn't think there was a market for larger "refrigerator magnets".

We are pretty poor. Someone started a thread discussing uniforms and in particular the block C. If the discussion annoys you its easy to skip the thread.

I love that

 

[ZooCougar]

I like the way the scoreboard looks when we score lots of touchdowns. Even if the helmets are teal.

 

[RioDog]

I love that

Agreed. That's actually very cool.

Would love to see a killer chrome helmet like Oregon used to do

 

[EdgewoodNHV]

I forgot how much I loved these chrome alternates:

If you were going to do call of the wild, this is the way to do it.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

The chrome is nice as a special alternative. I would like the idea of using it once a year for a significant game but believe it wouldn't work if we used it too often.

My view of the blue helmets with the block C is the one redeeming quality is they are a reminder of when we were at our best. My preference here would be a once every few years throwback.

What I would like the best (again, only one person's opinion) would be for our primary helmet to be a white with the block C, but the block C a bit smaller (80%-85% the current size) and a single blue stripe. Maybe one or two games a year use the husky logo instead of the C.

There has always been something about a clean, crisp look, without too much noise that gives the impression of being more together, more developed, more organized and professional than what wild color schemes presents.

Looked nice, but needs less red and more blue.

Wouldn’t mind it on a blue helmet with the white on the logo in chrome

 

[HuskyDogArt]

Nah, prefer blue. The white on white on white has a very Washington Generals feel to it.

The last few years, we have been playing like the Washington Generals . Hope next year we can play like a top 90 team...

That would be a HELL of a helmet in a bowl game...

Perhaps on a blue helmet.

I think this current combo is fine - no need to change just because the coach will change. We had our highest points of success with the Block C and the Husky dog is a simple alternate. Both do the job. They will look a lot better to people once we start winning again.

The white helmets just look way better.. plain and simple.. not even close...

 

[BigEastCT]

Not that my opinion matters but more I think about it I want the Block C to come to an end. New Era time to roll with the new logo. However if we play a old big east foe I would be open to a throw back unis for both teams on the field
