-- “This logo is everything that a Husky is supposed to be — powerful, aggressive, determined. It is looking right through you and saying ‘Do not mess with me,’ ” said women’s basketball head coach Geno Auriemma. “This is a streamlined, fighting dog and I cannot wait for it to be on our uniforms and court.” --

-- “I absolutely love this new Husky Dog logo,” said head men’s basketball coach Kevin Ollie. “It looks fantastic on our uniforms and I know that our fans will love it as much as we do. Our new identity is a look that I know I will be proud to wear.” --

The coaches like it (or do you think they're just selling out with lip service?), the student athletes like it, potential future recruits will probably like it. Better for us in the long run.

Lack of detail in a logo doesn't make it clip art nor a cheap, lazy knock-off. The endless bashing is unreal.

If you've ever actually heard either of these guys speak, you would know that this is corporate speak, written by some public relations flack. Most likely neither Ollie nor Geno ever saw this never mind said it. they were told they were being quoted about the new logo. They likely had no choice, or minimal choice. Geno probably could have said "don't quote me," if he hated it. Ollie would have had less flexibility. But it is simply part of their jobs to say nice things about stuff like this regardless of their personal views. Bottom line is that as long as it doesn't adversely effect their contracts, they are fine with it.

I'm going to tell you I try not to argue with people who use terms like "Obama socialists," and I sure as heck don't do it in the football forums.

But it is okay for you to personally insult people using crude language right: " I said you were full of when you claimed it was a half-baked logo". Irish you like to dish it out, but the sense I get is you can't take it. Just sayin'

Oh, I don't mind being called a socialist by folks like you because you clearly don't have a strong grasp of economic models. This is just the wrong forum to discuss it.

Because it wasn't a husky, because we want to establish a new brand identity for athletics moving forward, because they want to sell more merchandise, too cater to young recruits who are attracted to shiny things...............

I don't see a need for an identity change, I see a need to maintain and foster traditions here. If so many people say they won't buy items with the new logo I fail to see how they are going to sell more merchandise. The only shiny things recruits are attracted to is money and cars and I would hope we don't deal in that.
 
I certainly don't mind logo changes but I don't think I'll get over this new logo. I'll stick with old logos. Might have to get a shirt made with that 1959 logo.
 
I am convinced this new look is completely duckked up. I can't see how it fits in the B1G. We need to go back to the block "C".
 
I don't get it - what part of the block c is not coming back do people not understand?
