Never saw this one before. I could live with that.

I still like the all white logo better, but this one is a hell of a lot better than the logo they're using now.

Good job whoever created this version - real talent.

Talking conference realignment the last 10 + years or so hasn't seemed to have worked... so talking logos it is.

Lets See.. When was the last time UCONN-Avery Point changed their POINTERS logo...??

 

[FartMan69]

It was done in 1995, Nike just touched it up

My Siberian Husky looks identical to UConn's logo - there's nothing cartoon wolf about it.

You have a blue dog?

Is this the LOGO REALIGNMENT BOARD?? I guess we got into a P5 conference, because we are talking about LOGOS...

Page 11...anything over page 5 is pretty much open season.

It's a seminar on how to counter the derailing of a thread that was spending a little too much time belittling the people we need supporting us.

You can pick up your certificate after your submit your course evaluation.

I am guessing the 70s logo would be the Stoned Jonathan?

Granted - the red head, blue body and yellow beak/shoes have remained for 93 years now and perhaps what UConn did would be more akin to KU coming out with a new bird that has a blue head and body. Still, hard to say things don't change over the course of a period as long as a hundred years.

I happen to love the new UConn husky logo because much like UConn Esq - I have always owned huskies and am accustomed to various masks. That said, there are of course all-white huskies although they still differ from Samoyeds and Eskimo Dogs. I also have no real skin in the game other than wanting you all as conference mates so those that feel attachment with the old branding I'm sure have very strong and valid opinions.

The Jayhawk was, I think, ranked the #1 most recognizable college sports team logo in the country. Really mostly unchanged since 1945. I should put one on my car.

1923 Jayhawk is about to drop a deuce.

You know. your new avatar is making me miss the Dude's picture.

Agree Re the 1923 logo.

The new avatar has generated much emotion. No one is on the fence. About half the people like the Dude, and the other half are more attracted to Peter Griffin modeling a bikini top and jorts.

They both stink. Peter Griffin is less problematic. How about a nice Husky dog?

And be the 943rd person on the board (granted it's a board about Huskies, but still) with that avatar? No thanks. I like being unique. Even more than being unique though, I like pushing this board's buttons. Maybe next week I'll put up an avatar of Randy Edsall so the football board can tell me how much they hate him.

Meanwhile they're still using Polaroids in Louisville and Houston.

I had actually written that post with "Coach P" instead of "Randy Edsall" but then changed it because even I can't stand looking at Coach P.

But then which would be a "nice" Husky dog: an all-white one or one with a mask? Just more controversy.

Personally I don't discriminate (as the double Jonathan avatar from the 2014 parade attests), but it's evident from this thread that many people care deeply about this issue.

Outside of CT, Boston is UConn's second largest Alumni base (NYC is first) and with the 'emotions' around UConn's relationship with BC, I am expecting a solid UConn turnout there unless BC make it hard to get tickets (BC, PC, Hall did that a lot for basketball back in the day). A Thursday night game in a city that is 1,800 miles away that has a very small UConn alumni base that seats 40,000 for a 'hot' football team right now is not going to be easy. Heck, it would not be easy for any program.

Tickets are still available from the AD.
