New look field @ Rentschler

[Nostical]

Boring.

No, not really. It's called branding. The full Husky Head logo on the field mimics and meshes with the team's logo on the helmet. We want that Husky logo to be instantly recognized around the country. The more its seen and celebrated the better for us. And the end zones are perfect. We're "UConn" now to the world at large.

Administration also decided to exclusively use UCONN in all of its branding instead of Connecticut, just like its UCLA, not the University of California at Los Angeles.

That's right. It's another forward looking move by Susan Herbst (along with the new Husky logo). She seems to have great instincts when making these decisions.

And there we go....

That is one king-sized logo on that field illustration. It's really gonna be that big? Covers the midfield hashmarks. The one in the Shenkman looks like a better scale.

Yeah, that was my thought. Really that big?

Prediction: people will love it if we win, hate it if we lose.

California is Berkeley, not UCLA.

UCLA is a directional school like Southern CT. (only said this part to set off Pudge)

I like the huge logo

 

[Nostical]

Size matters!

I think he wants to make sure that anybody watching games on a smaller computer monitor or their phone will still be able to see the logo.

I like it. It's a big improvement.

I'd like to see it at Fenway.

 

[BugsyCT]

Looks like Tecmo

Yeah, but Tecmo rules all.

Any idea how that has worked in the past? I'd assume we get to choose how it's painted because we're the home team. A Husky logo on the field in BC's back yard would just be so sweet.

Not likely. There are other games that weekend although the UConn-BC game is the biggest.

Yeah, its going tobe more generic than UConn-centric.

I'd be pleasantly surprised if they allow a big Husky face at midfield.

I forgot there were other games being played that weekend. Id imagine that logo is what we'll see.

Better pray for perfect weather or the field could be a nightmare by UConn kick time.
