The old logo looks like someone who is happy, relaxed, comfortable, etc. He is happy because of all of the winning UConn did when he was the logo. The new logo looks like someone who was told to "make an intimidating face" when posing for a picture. If I were going to a bar, I would much rather hang out with the old logo than the new logo.

I hate the new logo. Is that clear? **** the new logo.

Warde just wanted to put on his resume that he rebranded 2 programs. He was generally a disaster.

I was a big fan of the old logo too.

The thinking man's Husky. It may be no coincidence that "The Dobie Gillis Show" was popular at the same time this Husky enjoyed his extremely short lived tenure in Storrs. There was a statue of the thinking man at the beginning of each episode.

You mean a fluffy mop with eyes vs. a Husky. I never liked the logo of that era, with or without the red tongue.

It was a mistake getting rid of the old logo in favor of a generic one and I am wondering what was wrong with the 'unique" Husky logo that was unmistakably UConn. The new logo, while not being the exact replica, does resemble a half dozen(if not more) Husky logos in the college ranks. Extremely poor decision.

It wasn't a mistake. That logo sucked and looked nothing like a husky, all white or otherwise. I went to UConn in the 80's so it's the logo I grew up with, but I don't know anyone who liked it.

Now people can bitch about the new one not being all white, and the all white versions of the new one might have been a way to go, but the old one was lame.

Too bad they can't sue us - the new logo should be all white. So stupid. The UConn Washington Northeastern Huskies.

Yes, it looked unkept with weak eyes and seemed to be suffering from COPD, time to retire.
