That helmet logo brawl again!!

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

College sports are about tradition, which is something I think UConn struggles with. Pick something, anything, and establish a brand and identity.

This is why they abandoned the Block C and all other sport specific logos aside from baseball. The goal is to create unified front behind the new Husky logo. Unfortunately a bunch of fans are buttwipes who love to talk about the prestige and tradition of a logo the existed for 5 minutes

Case closed. You're wrong.

The only Christmas gift I asked for arrived today. She said not until Christmas. For the record I am all about the Block C for football, but I follow multiple sports UConn and needed a hook C hat.

And for the record… I’m a block C guy. It looked cleanest with the stripe. I think that was new addition. Husky dog is alright.

Agree with the block C for football it was gaining traction when abandoned..........

We had one........... Susie and Warde sold out to NIKE, the smiling dog logo had 11 national championships under it's collar! Nothing like kicking with a smile. I personally asked Warde if he were at Michigan would he change the block M, this not thinking he would ever be back there but I got fluff for a reply.

If we're going to have this serious discussion again, can somebody remind me why we are the Huskies?

Word passed down generational has it the players in the early days refused to be called the Jerseys, the Holsteins or even just the Cows. It was a utterly sporting debate a the time with the Agri students losing to the athletes.

Can we rally behind this

 

[UCFBfan]

I agree with others that they need to pick one logo and stick with it. My favorite is this one from 1999.

 

[Patman]

the Nebraska "N", the michigan wings, the princeton wings, the Ohio State silver and buckeye stickers, the Alabama numbers - see the trend? stability.

UConn needs a solid logo that is as the bricks and the ivy.

 

[Viet Vet]

Block "C", home and away, as in "uniform".

I really liked the ribbon helmets from 2022. I know it was for the awareness theme (month?, week?, I can't remember) But what better way to keep those causes at the forefront and also raise awareness for the team if we do something way outside the box that could get the media chatting. I didnt like the ones with the Husky on top of the ribbon as much, but that could be more palatable to some, or maybe the C on it. The C and the husky logo by themselves sure haven't worked to raise anything for the team thus far, except riling up people on here.

Also the decision to stand behind a single brand lasted all of about 30 seconds. it was a decision derivative of a consultants report and completely devoid of any thought about tradition.

 

[SubbaBub]

I like the “New” Husky on the White helmet, the block C on the Blue helmet. Let’s go with that tradition.

Make the dog 10% bigger and I think we can agree on a deal. I'm not all that fond of the Block C on the white helmets.

I wouldn't mind seeing this Wile E Coyote grinning face applied to the clip art dog.

Well, since we're having the same debate we do at least semi annually, let me add the same graphic that I always do:

The smiling Wolverine is in development.

I like #2.

I’m a believer in consistency within teams. You don’t need it between sports. As long as they all where National Flag Blue and White does anyone care if men’s basketball says Connecticut, women’s say UCONN Hockey days HUSKIES and baseball has the hook C and football the Block C? Yeah, when they use the Husky logo it should be the same one (and it should be white with blue eyes as it was for 75 years and was the officially adopted standard since at least the 1950s). As for football, I think Blue shirts, white pants, blue helmets with the Block C look best at home. All white with blue helmets and Block C on the road. Maybe 1, but only 1, special uniform for a special game (home coming or a big opponent to get the crowd pumped) there are only 12 games. You don’t need 12 uniforms.

I like it. The only thing I would change is to remove the dog from the white helmet and add a blue block C.

 

[CTFIRERETIRED]

Could be worse. You could have the blank white Penn State helmets, or the sick gold ND helmets, or Alabamas bland helmet design. First and foremost, how about improving the product on the field instead carrying on about the helmets. Gaudy helmets and uniforms don't win ballgames talent and coaching wins games.

 

[Redding Husky]

Anytime you ask fans of other teams which is best, the vast majority say the block C is our best helmet.

Our best years were with the block C. We were just getting some national respect when the helmet changed and everything collapsed.

 

[gopher2]

Block CT on one side and block 06 on the other. I joke. Actually I like the script, either blue on white or white on blue. Let the season ticket holders select the helmet and unis each year.

 

[Uconnalliance]

Like the ones during PP’s time with husky in front middle of the helmet

That's what their said, they could have unified under the block C. Reality is they wanted to sell a new animal head to move more product than the old animal head.

 

[Nostical]

Make the dog 10% bigger and I think we can agree on a deal. I'm not all that fond of the Block C on the white helmets.

I like that idea. I agree the dog should be larger. Do that, and we fans will have solved the helmet issue. Now we can move on to player development and in-game coaching strategies.

 

[freescooter]

That's what their said, they could have unified under the block C. Reality is they wanted to sell a new animal head to move more product than the old animal head.

They said it for about a week. Then Nike decided they could make more bringing back the 1999 men’s uniform, and the 1995 Women’s uniform and rage alternate blue hockey one…and they gave in on the hook C for baseball, so there was a special hat to sell there, and amazingly consistency wasn’t that critical anymore.

We were going to put the block C on our basketball uniforms? You people are ridiculous

The block c was just a terrible boring logo with less tradition than jehovah witness Christmas

and in the end that's what its really about, basketball vs football

5!!

 

[RSTuthill]

How would the Hook C look?

Not stout on the helmets. Classy on the coaches' hats

 

[RSTuthill]

This is the Land of Steady Habits. Block C fits UConn perfectly.

 

[BugsyCT]

Just about every school has multiple helmet designs now, so why not just keep both the Block C and the Husky head in regular rotation? (Maybe even try the old script throwback for a game or two?)
