To UConn Program, Block C Represents More Than Just A Logo

>>The block-C’s big comeback emerged this year out of conversations between Edsall and Kyle Muncy, UConn’s director of brand management, who also served as sports information director for the school’s football team last season. The two took the idea to athletic director David Benedict, and before long the beloved logo was officially a part of the program again.

Muncy says Edsall wanted to remind fans of their happy memories of UConn football.

“It was important to him that we reconnect,” Muncy said. “Whether that’s reconnect with wins, reconnect with former players, most importantly reconnect with fans and get them back in the stadium and get them back supporting the program. Putting the block-C on the helmet is just one other way we can do that.”

Block-C apparel will be available for sale exclusively at Rentschler Field this season, Muncy said.<<

Yesterday, the wife and I took our annually pilgrimage to the shop on campus. Zero throwback and block C items. Glad to see it will be available at The Rent.

What games will they wear block c for?

Block C is tradition but it also is Connecticut. the Husky re-boot is meh. A majority of the major state football programs have the letter of the state on the helmet. Brand the team as Connecticut football not husky logo. get the state involved. outline of CT at midfield.

It’ll be out for UCF. My fiancée get an email for UConn staff offering up to four free tickets. They billed the game as throwback Thursday

Not sure when the field gets painted but hoping for the Block C at mid field with CONNECTICUT and HUSKIES in the end zones!

Totally agree regarding the state logo.

Its a great logo. I hope they can re-earn it. Classy, yet simplistic. Will wear it respectfully. Hope they start carrying nice gear with it on the gear.

I took at face value that you were friends with HFD but maybe the real answer is you ARE HFD?

ha that post was definitely HFD-esque...he and I definitely agree on how the school should brand itself as the flagship university of Connecticut rather than some updated husky graphic.

Can confirm I am not HFD. He refuses to return to the site under any other name. Only if the powers that be unlock his original account he'd consider coming back

My God, give that more boring and more generic (than the current logo) block C a rest already.

As for the three pressing issues of the day:
1. I prefer the current Husky logo over "fluffy".
2. I prefer being called UConn, not Connecticut.
3. I like the Block C.

I like the new logo. I'd love it a lot more if it remained all white. So one posted an all white husky and it clearly should have been the one we had. I like the Block C making a debut as a throwback. Hopefully other logos can make it comeback in years to come as a throwback. Especially musket jonathan

I got the answer six games this year will feature block c

Throw in a little grey or light blue for shading and we would have a winner

 

[Block C]

This would be okay but u got to make it look mean

Better?

 

[SubbaBub]

Better?

Lol, old man.

 

[SubbaBub]

All I really want is a new Block C hat. My old one died and I don't think a grown man should walk around with a cartoon wolf/dog on his headgear.

Nebraska has the "N".

Tennessee has the "T".

Wisconsin has the "W".

Oregon has the "O".

Georgia has the "G".

Connecticut needs the block "C".

 

[BugsyCT]

Connecticut needs a P5 conference.

Throwback Thursday? Will they be wearing LEATHER HELMETS?

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Don’t they usually release the paint job by now? I feel like they have a surprise for us
