new logo leaked?

[Dove]

I wonder of there is a connection between the closing down of huskywear.com and this rebranding. The rebranding comes as a crushing blow to all the apparel that was in stock. Here's hoping we see Scott Yeager again.

I think the change may be whats bothering some...not the logo. At least in my opinion, this is pretty cool, fairly unique, and definitly a husky. I'm in the "I was cool with the old Jonathan" camp but since they decided to change it I am pretty happy with the outcome.

Official Logo.

not bad...

As for looking like (the UConn blog’s) logo, that doesn’t really surprise me. Why? A UK-based graphic artist named Fraser Davidson has done work with Nike redesigning logos. When SB Nation relaunched itself about six months ago guess who it hired to make new logos for all the sites? Fraser Davidson.

Adding the red outlining makes a world of difference.

I'm warming up to it.

Okay I'm starting to soften...imo the Red makes it. Liking that rendition much more than what I saw on the shirts

The red rocks it, i think. Liking it much more.

I like it a lot. Hopefully we get the logo back on the side of our basketball shorts. Having UConn vertically up the shorts is meh to me. I think we're the only school in the country with our school's name on it's basketball shorts.

Red outline makes a big difference, I like it

 

[pepband99]

When are we re-branding to the Wolves? That's not really a husky, especially our all-white Jonathan.

I Still like the logo, a lot, but what's with the mask?

 

[uconNYC]

Unreal! I was so underwhelmed by the logo, but now seeing it with the red outline, I really like it. Amazing what a small tweak can do.

 

[Mr Blueskin]

not bad...

Agreed..warming up to it as well but for some reason I keep covering up the red tongue with my white cursor...don't mind the red outline, thought it would be worse but still don't like the red tongue...keep it white like the girls shirt

 

[hungry husky]

I want red alternate jerseys!

For the visually inclined ... it looks nothing like any of the other listed schools. In fact, it looks MUCH better.

If you took off the word mark of all three and showed them to a fan outside the three fanbases. Would they be able to ID ours as UCONN? No. That is not the case today. Losing brand recognition just as we are drifting into conference oblivion is not a good idea.

Don't mind changing the logo, but it needs to be white and needs to illicit a connection to UCONN. This doesn't.

The red's used when we have the UConn Athletics name underneath. When it's just the Husky, it will be no red.

They considered that possibility in the Wordmark sheet. It would look good but I'm still not so sure.

To echo everyone else, the red made it really pop an stand out for me.

So much for unifying the uniform!

Of course it wouldn't ... it's new. I'm not sure what people want here. That's not even accounting for the fact that no one gives a about Northern Illinois or Washington.

 

[kelde1wd]

I don't mind the new logo, but I guess I am still a bigger fan of the old logo. Just personal preference.

 

[CardiacKemba]

I like it. More than I though I would.

Excited to see jerseys, helmets, etc.

We should lobby for the red outline to be permanent - kind of like what the Portland Timber fans did:

My heart jumped much less when seeing the new logo compared to when we debuted our new uniforms in 2008, and again in 2010. Good to know Nike isn't destroying everything UConn related!

 

[tykurez]

There's sentimentality with the old logo, sure, but anyone who doesn't think this latest iteration is the best of the bunch is crazy.

Bit of a let down......was totally unenthusiastic about the new logo, until I saw it with the red outline.....they should make it that way across the board
