I was once bitten by a husky as a kid. Not a good time.

Wards Manuel wants our new mascot to be a glazed donut.

He cries himself to sleep at night because we don't play at the Dunkin' Donuts Center.

Or this:

hahahaha, definitely this one! This screams fear and intimidation! Free belly rubs for everyone if we score over 50 points in a game! #FearTheHuskies

I care more about winning than the logo , they can do whatever they want with it. I trust Nike. If this were adidas...after those cheetah sh1ts they showed a week or 2 ago, I'd be freaking out right now

Agreed. Jonathan sucks. Did you used to go by another name?

He won't respond, but yes.

The "American Werewolf in London" look might just be the way to go.

Well this would be just great...

It is a VERY BAD idea to be changing our branding right now, considering we had our conference rug ripped out from underneath us. Now is the time for maintaing some sort of tradition - in a few years when we finally learn whether we are permantently (pardon my French) ducked or not, then we can start tinkering with our branding.

Our branding has been a mess considering each team has its own separate logo. I like the current Jonathan. It is a national brand but we need to solidify our entire brand and the smiling husky would look downright stupid on a football helmet or a hockey jersey.

Consolidation needs to occur but it cannot be too drastic from the current husky that the entire nation equates with our basketball success. As bland/generic as the new Oregon State Beaver is, expect a very similar touch up of our husky. Nike's designs tend to look the same across all of their schools for better or worse.

I wouldn't go that far. I actually think the new Oregon State logo is cleverly designed. No one has a logo that looks like the new Oregon Ducks logo either. Too bad the days of having logos designed by independent firms are disappearing.

My feeling on the mean looking husky is that we will look too much like the Minnesota Timberwolves. I just posted on the football board that they should have had a vote. Choose 3-5 logos and have the students/alumni vote on which one they want. As it is nobody really wants the change anyway so at least let us choose.

The UofC logo looks good. Now lets see it without the sweater...

 

[TheChamps990411]

A change is needed. the current logo looks terrible! id rather have the one tf50 has on his sig. i trust nike to do something that people will like. as far as the dog looking to mean and violent with whats going on in the state lately that is just stupid. what does a more aggressive looking mascot have to do with violence in society?

I like what nike did for UW.

In 2001, the UW finished a two-year collaboration with Nike to create a standardized color system and modern Husky logo (left). Athletics Director Barbara Hedges told The Daily at the time, “It’s a very striking logo. It gives our student athletes a strong identity that they deserve.” Not everyone was excited about the new design, however. A UW sophomore was quoted in a 2001 Daily column: “I can’t trust it. The old one had so much pride. It was a loyal dog. The new one looks like it’s going to steal my hamburger from the barbecue.”

I've seen that Oregon State logo on dozens of NHL jerseys. From a little bit away, you can't tell if it's a thrasher or a beaver. It's the same blueprint as the Buffalo slug. You start with a geometric shape and then you fill in the animal.

What does a more aggressive mascot have to do with anything?

This is what I fear will happen:
