I can't really say one way or the other until we see the new uni's, but if they do incorporate the new husky more so than in the past, I'm willing to bet there will be a dramatic decrease in sales.
Personally, I'd just stick to my old 04 and 99 jerseys and shorts......those were epic

On the UConn site.....looking at the comments it's like 10% approve, 90% enraged......wonder how this plays out in the long run? Another "Cal re-do" in the making?

They are not targeting existing fans. They are targeting new fans. I'd say it's a safe bet that apparel branded with this logo will increase sales significantly.

Why do you think almost every professional team has "alternate" uniforms/caps that have black as one of the primary colors? Because kids think it's cooler and it sells. Same thinking that went into this redesign, as well as the other schools that have done the same.

OK - red outline definitely makes a difference.
The original image was too milquetoast for my taste.
This has some BITE to it.

Also like the blue eyes - gives it some depth. It's growing on me.

I was talking about my avatar by my name, but I think this is the picture you are thinking of.
 
The red outline makes it look way better, it really pops out at you.
 
I like it better with the red but still not a big fan. It looks like the husky is wearing KISS make up. The mask is just not a good look.

Looks fine. I can see the sentimentality about the old logo, but people will get used to the new one.

Im sure I will grow to like it in time. I actually prefer the one without the red outline. I wonder which version will be painted on the basketball courts?? The one thing that scared me was they would make this logo look too much like the Minnesota Timberwolves logo...thats exactly what they did. I will always like the 90's logo the best since that is what I grew up with and I will always relate that Jonathan to the Calhoun era.
 
I'm on board. Never liked the last one. 80's-90's still my favorite ..... For now
Maybe this new one will get us out of the AAC. If it does it will be my favorite by far...

Hey,
If Gheorghe likes it.....I like it

 
Love the new logo. Not sure about the red around the husky, but I thought I saw another picture of just Jonathan without the red outline.

I disagree with everything you just said, lol
You're still cool though
 
Where's MakersMuppet when you need him to put some of you whiners in line? Oh boo hoo hoo, I liked the cuddly looking dog. Like a bunch of babies losing their security blankets. You don't like it? Go root for Providence. TEN. MOTHERF'N. TOES. IN.

You're pretty intimidating Dave....... Hey guys if you don't like the new logo, just keep it to yourself.....the LAST thing you want is to make UCDaveD angry, trust me he's nobody to mess with!

Now we need to change the mascot's name from Jonathan to something that fits the fierce new image. I'm thinking "Jack," which is often used as a derivation of John.

UConn Jack has a nice ring to it.

And the image does also remind me somewhat of the wolf on the Kenwood Vineyards Jack London label.

I really hope this is a joke..

LOL. Well, I figure whether I love or hated the logo is irrelevant since UCONN won't be making any changes based on fans' reactions. But still, I think it's cool.
 
I also got an e-mail from UConn Athletics with a photo of the new logo. The red outline does give it a more dramatic effect. I really like it in relation to what we had.

With so many people making the comment that the new logo looks like a wolf I wouldn't be surprised to see some minor tweaks to give it more of a traditional husky look

That's what a Husky looks like, our old logo looked like a Samoyed.

I liked how they rushed out the release today after the leak. Have they confirmed the leak is why they pushed it up from the 18th? :)
Expand ...

No confirmation as of yet, only an assumption at this point.
 
I guess the big question is why there is red in the logo seeing as we were just told last week that we would only be using our primary colors (blue and grey) moving forward!!???

My family bred and showed various breeds and i spent many weekends at dog shows. Im very familiar with what a Husky looks like. While the new logo does look like a husky it clearly has some features that people think makes it look a bit too much like a wolf. While im fine with it the way it is im just saying i won't be surprised if they don't tweak the thickness of the head and/fur to give it more of a traditional husky look.
 
The logo is fine, what will make it memorable is winning some championships wearing it. That will make the logo separate itself from the clutter........until Sandusky, Penn State made a white helmet with a blue stripe cool, just win.

They both look so similar, but they pretty much nailed this husky:

Agreed, some wolves look like some huskies.

Huskies look like wolves. They do not look anything like our prior logo. This is much more like a real husky, and the light blue eyes remove any doubt that it is a husky and not a wolf.
