Thank you for that.

 

[Brochacho]

I know it’s an April Fools joke but the stickers aren’t photoshopped so it leads me to wonder if they would ever bust these out.

Insert appropriate swear word here. I fell for it. Forwarded it to my tailgate gang and everything. Repeat appropriate swear word here.

Those are beautiful. Why even joke about that?

Derp Husky is the best Husky. Make these for real. Kids would absolutely love to rock them.

 

[UCHuskies08]

I unironically want all of this

 

[Fairfield_1st]

I actually like them. I'm bummed it's a joke.

 

[Scrutineer]

I cannot understand why anyone would want, for a logo, an image of a dog which appears about to burst into tears.

Like it just saw the team lose on a last minute pick six..........

Give me our new, fierce looking, husky all day every day!

That's why people want it....it's odd. It's unique. It's disconcerting.

 

[UCFBfan]

I just can't. Lol!! I keep looking at the helmet and start to crack up thinking about us running out of the tunnel with smoke and music blaring and the derpy Husky on the helmet. There's not another helmet in college sports that even comes close to looking as sad as that poor dog looks.

I'd love to see it

To me, it looks like it’s about to drop a deuce. Oddly, that doesn’t make me want it less as an alternative helmet.

Which race is an interesting question, which is the walkout music be if we were wearing the Derpy Dog helmets?

 

[GoConn]

are we getting new jerseys this upcoming season?

 

[HuskyDogArt]

Darn it looks so great. Oh well, it was an April Fool's joke. I hope they'll do a one off with those uniforms.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

These would be incredible alternates to bring out one year. We would get so much free coverage and exposure (and everyone loves a program that can laugh at themselves and lean in to the joke).

 

[freescooter]

Wear them for the National Championship Game!! Suck it Georgia!

Equipment guys are having fun during the off season:

Love the Block C. Not as big of a fan of the racing stripe, but if a racing stripe means getting Block C, count me in.

 

[Austin316]

You think they’ll bring back “Connecticut” on the uniforms?

 

[freescooter]

I think we need an identity. The Block C was UConn football for probably longer than any other in the last 50 years. Like Alabama with the numbers, Nebraska and the N, Michigan’s wings, ND’ gold, the Texas horns, Ohio Star’s silver with the red white and black stripe. I want a helmet that when you turn on a game, you say UConn. The Block C does that. College teams change helmet designs all the time. Programs don’t. I want to be a Program.

The block C existed for a decade plus and primarily in the minds of half the UConn fan base. It's about as far from iconic as you can get.

I'd love to see them release a throwback line for fans. I'd be all about musket Johnathan
