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.

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.

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.

Ok, this is an American Eskimo...

Looks like the old logo , right ?

These are HUSKIES

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

Lol

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?

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!
