Possible leak of new logo

[MilliniumPrince]

The more I look at it the more I like it.

I hate to say it but the designer got the look right. While most people, including myself think it looks like a wolf, if you type "husky dog" into Google images, you can see the shading on the top of most of the dogs heads.

And that's the coloring that other schools' Huskies have. Our Husky has been all white ever since Jonathan II. Penfield's tweak removing the dark fur at the top of the head is much better, looks like a UCONN husky instead of some other husky.

The new UCONN logo is sooo sick, love the change, can't wait to see the uniforms

 

[john2153]

Kinda looks like Houston Baptist's logo.

 

[CL82]

Should have gone with the white one for consistency.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

I like it a lot..great job..we needed a change. I still love the block C on the helmet and hope it stays....but I would be okay with the new logo on the helmet.

Looking forward to buying new gear...I got tired of scouring sites trying to find shirts without the old cute puppy dog logo.

I highly recommend this website: http://www.sportslogos.net/index.php

They do an amazing job of tracking all the different logo changes through years. And to all those who think our new logo looks like others, then compare for yourself. And it is also proof that we are not the first school to update their logo:

Washington - http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/list_by_team/904/Washington_Huskies/
Northern Illinois - http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/list_by_team/785/Northern_Illinois_Huskies/
Northeastern - http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/list_by_team/783/Northeastern_Huskies/
N.C. State - http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/list_by_team/777/North_Carolina_State_Wolfpack/
New Mexico -

thanks for the link bro... btw, UCONN's logo looks NOTHING like any of these that I read some folks complaining about... absolutely NOTHING like the others... I'm happy with our decision....

saw this online

Thank you. The all white is us. The one chosen is a werewolf.
Cannot believe most here like what they chose. Most Who have seen this wish it was all white. (Except you BY homers)
Face it, like a GDL play call, they F.T.U.

I could not be more happy with this new UCONN logo. I think it's awesome, it's aggressive.

I have a husky. He's almost 3 years old. For all you people saying "It looks to much like a Wolf" , NEWS FLASH!!!!!! Huskies look like Wolves! Whenever I walk ,my husky or take him to new parks, I always get " Oh my God, your dog looks like a Wolf, what breed is he?" , I then proudly say.. ..... He's a Husky.

What people don't realize is the now old husky logo didn't really even look like a real Siberian Husky, it looked more like the head of an American Eskimo dog (Google it ).

I understand some people wanted to keep the all White Husky, but I love the navy blue shaded head. Looks great, amazing job by Nike and UCONN. This new logo and new uniforms will help us big time with recruiting the new generation, just watch. Recruits don't come to UCONN Football for the traditional look. We're not Penn State or Notre Dame or USC. So we need to get with the times.

Sorry for the rant.... Lol... Go UCONN

 

[spsct]

100% love this new logo.

 

[RioDog]

100% love this new logo.

I am not by nature a complainer, and I usually look for the positive aspect of things, but this logo is blah. Too generic. It looks like a logo for a work boot. I prefer the old one. At least it was distinct from allof the other husky logos out there.

 

[BugsyCT]

It won't look so generic once it's been around for a few years and gradually gets more associated with UConn. I think the logo is fine, but since it's new (and is not all-white, which is a fair debate since our mascot has been all-white for decades), people are resistant to it.

Yes, the old logo was distinct. But seriously, if they came out with that now, people would say it looks ridiculous. They'd complain about the furry mane, the passive expression and how stupid the tongue wagging out looks.

I always liked the old logo, and had reservations about them changing it too, but in retrospect, they've been needing to do this - to get a logo that could be used across all UConn sports platforms. We've had too many secondary UConn logos (Block "C" for football, interlocking "UC" for men's hoops, that God-awful "C" interlocked with a basketball for women's hoops, different fonts, etc.). This is a bolder logo, modernized and tougher looking (all important in sports branding) and should look good on the unis for all UConn's sports teams.

Now can we train a Husky to run from one end zone to the other, maybe with a brief stop at midfield next to the new logo, after every score? If we're doing a makeover let's not stop here. Incorporate a real Jonathan. Maybe instead of ringing the bell we pipe Husky barks through the PA for each score with a little crowd participation. Maybe toss a couple howls in there (if they even do that). Feel free to kill the ideas but not the effort.

Posters on here have mentioned having huskies pulling a sled also...i think some active use of huskies on the field would be great.

 

[Skiblets]

Can't wait to see the new helmets and unis. Spring game perhaps?

That was me. I want snow machines going over the entry point for the team at the rent. Screw confetti, use snow. Have a team of huskies pulling a sled lead the team onto the field.

 

[JStaff326]

Ok, this is an American Eskimo...

Looks like the old logo , right ?

 

[JStaff326]

These are HUSKIES

This is why the New Logo is awesome . Because it finally looks like a husky!!!

Lol

 

[Fairfield_1st]

Seeing the Huskies pic from JStaff326 makes me like the new logo even more. It's a great visual of our before and after and why the after is the correct way to go.

How about a little roll reversal - a team of cheerleaders pulling Jonathan around on a sled?

Lol

Sorry, but those huskies look like Washington and Northeastern Huskies...poll the entire country and ask what college sports team they think of when they see those darker huskies. Then put up an all white husky and think about what UConn is having a hard time with after winning 11 National championships in the last 25 years.

A lot of those cheerleaders look like canines so no one would notice!
