Logo officially leaked

[Matt (Chicago)]

Butch - why do you think it sucks?

 

[outlaw]

it looks more like a wolf than it does a Husky

Beat me to it.

This is a real Husky, also. And fits with about 50 years of UCONN tradition.

Touche.. ya got me bro.. I can back up your assessment with this shot:

But I admit.. I still like the new logo... I'm a proponent of the Nationl Flag Blue, along with the white being emphasized... it just looks better IMO....

 

[outlaw]

does this mean the next Jonathan will be a siberian husky... or will we keep the tradition of the all white husky dog

 

[Excalibur]

I'm happy with our new husky logo... I understand the 'excessive' American Flag blue because that color is part of the essence of UCONN. Which leads me to ask... Here's a real Husky:

And an all-white Siberian Husky:

 

[ktuck911]

And an all-white Siberian Husky:

that's the perfect shot of a husky...

 

[asuwish]

Bout doggone time!

it's OK, but the other logo was so recognizable and distinct. This seems so similar to other Husky logo's. It does not brand us in a distict way the old one did.

 

[John]

This logo catches the true essence of a husky. My neighbor had a Siberian. When you looked him straight in the face, you saw those menacing eyes with the devious smile. You never were quite sure if he was happy to see you, or if he wanted to bite your face off. This logo catches that thought perfectly.

My in-laws have one too - I really don't like the dog, there's something menacing/creepy about it, even though they've always said he's uber-friendly.

 

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

I like it!
Love the darker blue.

 

[ZooCougar]

I like it. But it's just a logo. Did people expect this thing to complete their lives or something?

 

[ZooCougar]

This logo is the best thing since this T Shirt saw the light of day.

Well, 75 years but who's counting? Nike had the toupee version on their computer already so that's what we got. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and it has been clear that Nike provided this logo for free.

They are both real, actual, honest to god huskies.
I just entered "Siberian Husky" into Yahoo images as if it is a representative sample of all Siberian huskies...I don't know? This unscientific sample did not produce the first all white husky dog until page 3. Again, I don't know what that means.

The new logo and typeface is growing on me.

It is the most generic Huskies logo in all of D1. Even Houston Baptist has something unique.

Everyone that is saying a Siberian Husky is all white so its not a Samoyed does realize that our old logo doesn't look like a Siberian Husky right? The mascot and real Jonathon dog are Siberian Husky's but the logo looks exactly like a Samoyed. This logo actually looks closer to the mascot and real dog then the old logo ever did.

 

[UConn76]

does this mean the next Jonathan will be a siberian husky... or will we keep the tradition of the all white husky dog

They will probably just give the current Jonathan his outright release or place him on waivers. UConn has retained a national search firm in their effort to secure the best Siberian Husky available and also set aside funds in the event that Husky has a significant contract buy-out clause.

We're clearing cap room, and will resign him as soon as he clears waivers as long as nobody else picks him up. There are lots of programs out there, that have been beaten down by the Huskies over the years, that would love to snatch him up, and bury him in a dungeon somewhere, but I doubt they'd invest the money to do it. Keep your fingers crossed that he clears waivers.
