It looks great. I still don't understand the people who were slightly hysterical about the change loving the old one and hating the new one...

Did a single person in the entire world who didn't go UConn or grow up in Connecticut ever buy UConn merch featuring the old logo? Did a single teenager outside the state of CT ever say, "Oh man, that Jonathan is one cool customer -- I've got to run out and get as many shirts and hats featuring that 'real looking' logo as possible"?
A picture of a tree might be real looking but I don't want to look at it and it does nothing for the school, even if it's traditional. I take your point about the new logo seeming "clip-arty" to you; we'll agree to disagree on that.

I've seen a lot of people out of state wearing gear with the old logo and every single time I've stopped to talk to someone they are a UConn fan or from CT. For one of the top hoops programs in the country our gear was never seen much, the old logo was boring.

I totally agree. I like the logo that's been floated around but it appears they softened him up a bit for the Guyer logo. The mouth looks more rounded at the bottom and he's practically smiling! Am I losing it or is this a modified version of the logo on clothing?

I love the logo in your avatar but that isn't what's on the Guyer floor. I just hope for Gampel and XL they make him look a little more intimidating.

I think it's just the perspective of the photo that's making it look a bit different.
I was one of the posters that was pretty vocally opposed to the new logo when it first came out. I just want to be clear that I think the design of the new logo is really good. I don't think it looks like clip art. I don't think it looks like a bear. When the new gear comes out I will buy stuff with the new logo. No question.
My issue with the logo is that we left a little tradition out of it by not having a white husky. Not the end of the world. I'll still support the team. I just think they missed something important. Didn't it say in the other thread (FlaHusky's?) that JC didn't like the new logo because it didn't look like UConn. I agree with him.
Still, it looks pretty cool on a bball court
