I always liked these helmet designs... kinda hockey-ish but dope

 

[ktuck911]

Yeah but compared to what we were actually wearing at the time, they were a huge step up.

I like what this guy did making the husky bigger. It looks better.

If the facemask was national flag blue, yes...

Saw this tease today on Twitter?

 

[Adios]

The block C is back!!

 

[Exit 4]

I see no reason they cannot bring back the Block C helmet and keep the Nike Dog for clothing, field graphic, etc. Its about time they do a bigger uni update and so I could see that happening. The Block C had good karma.

The thing that makes the new husky logo look garbage is the red outline around it. I'm all for bringing back block C or minimizing the red

 

[FDNY99]

If the Block C comes back it means a rebranding again for Athletics. Maybe that was part of the new deal with Nike. If there is no rebranding then I can see it as part of the 3rd or alternate uniform.

I agree - no red.

I can’t see a complete athletic department rebranding — it likely would be a throwback as Randy has mentioned previously or alternative uniform option.

So if we are going back to the Block C does that mean that the White Husky will be coming back too? Asking for a friend.

No, it would most likely just be the secondary logo. White husky looks history. Can't believe Nike had us give up that uniqueness.

I think we'd have to buy another husky puppy for a mascot if we went back to all white I've never seen the helmet in @Hound11 's post. I like it. I'll always be a fan of the old Jonathan over the new Jonathan logo. Not that I don't like the new one.. I just felt like the old one was uniquely ours. Seems like every other husky/wolf team has a logo that looks like ours, or I guess you could say ours resembles every other wolf/husky team's. I believe that is a thing of the past though.

 

[BugsyCT]

Oh goody, this again. *sigh*

The only problem with the block C is that it was ONLY associated with the football program. They did the rebranding in 2013 to give a similar look to ALL the UConn sports teams. That includes the logo and the red trim.

By the way - anyone happen to notice that just about every other team in this conference has multiple alternate unis & helmets? No reason why we can't have an alternate uni with the block C helmet to appease the masses.

Everyone is over complicating this. Keep the Nike Dog on everything (for every sport), just for football change only the helmet to the block C (and get rid of any red on the football uni). There, that its, done. I don't think it will confuse anyone or dilute the marketing impact.

 

[methodology]

Bring back the interlocking U-C for basketball also. please

 

[TheDrifter75]

The Block C is already on the football helmet. Just need to make it bigger and more prominent.

Just make sure to keep your distance from the gray van. That thing screams molestermobile.

 

[uconnbill]

New Husky and never go back to the old one, period.

The Block C would be sweet though

 

[Hoophound]

I think our new logo is awesome. Very sharp on a navy hoodie with a swoosh.

 

[Ldandy]

Put The Derpy Jonathon Logo on the helmets as an alternate. That would be fire.

I approve and endorse this message

FWIW:

 

[Redding Husky]

I'm in Texas. No one here cares about northeastern football, so I can get completely neutral opinions. Everyone here says the "block C" is the best helmet we ever had.

 

[bigAbruns]

Wait a year for the defense to improve a bit. To me the block C represented a hard hitting defense until that returns keep the other helmet....that represents the current defense, light/hardly hitting.

“The uniform is not changing for next season,” a source with knowledge of the situation responded. “Our next uniform change will be for 2019. It’s a normal cycle, in the three-year range to work on a new uniform design with Nike. It has nothing to do with the ‘Block C’ or anything like that. It’s just a normal uniform update.”

(A normal cycle to update uniforms every 3 years?)

Personally I wouldn't mind seeing both the Block C and the new Husky logo incorporated into the next uni update. Would keep some continuity and give us a return look of the Edsall 1.0 UConn years. Also bring blue helmets back as one of the alternates. If done right it could all look real sharp.

 

[MASSconn]

UConn must go back to navy and white predominantly for football, including the navy helmet. Nike should create a simpler, more streamlined look for us.

A good spin on the rebrand would be having the block C outlined in red (consistent with new branding). I'm sorry but that is our helmet, not the current garbage.

Yes, or at least a small sticker on the back of the helmet.

I'd love to a bunch of derpy's on the back of the helmets.

Derpy is unique and part of our heritage.

Agreed. The first time I walked into the Rent to watch a game I saw that block C and to me it said bigtime. I said, wow, things have changed at UConn.
