UConn Official Student Section: The Pack

[huskymedic]

Time for blue and white guy to retire and for young bloods to take over

How’s that working out...?

 

[UConnStats]

It appears they literally just swiped NC State's alternative logo. Really sloppy by the AD and they probably should change this.



North Carolina State Wolfpack Alternate Logo - NCAA Division I (n-r) (NCAA n-r) - Chris Creamer's Sports Logos Page - SportsLogos.Net

Pretty sloppy in terms over oversight, but that's what happens when every college these days starts with a stock photo for their mascot logos. Not really original work on the part of either school. New logos these days are always very cookie-cutter generic types, the new husky logo being an example of that IMO.

 

[KingAG]

They even called it “The Pack” lmaooooo. Why not just stick with “The Dog Pound”

 

[Husky25]

More than appears - the wolves are exactly the same.

I liked the design, but after noticing it's almost identical to NC $tate we have to change it.. Bad look.

No it most certainly is not. The NC State logo depicts wolves. The illustrated animals in the UConn logo are clearly huskies.

The dog pound sounds tougher than the pack and is more original, JMO. These people need a history lesson.

Dog Pound was taken from the Cleveland Browns.

Don’t worry the administration at the highest level is aware of this and the design has been pulled. Apologies have already been issued as well. Crisis averted. Phew.

 

[gampelcrazies]

Why not call it “The Dog House” or something stupid like that.

Because they have blue heads. Wolves don't have blue heads.

Still, stealing another teams alt. logo? How the fook does that even happen? No one asked where'd you get this from?

From what I saw on twitter, it looks like this is a generic clipart/photoshop design. So not exactly stolen from NC State, but the alternative isn't exactly reassuring.

Clear as mud.

News & Observer: Yes, UConn did steal NC State’s logo. But they’re very sorry about it

>>A UConn spokesperson said the logo was created by an undergraduate student who went about it the wrong way and “included a piece of intellectual property that belonged to NC State.”

The logo, which was revealed Wednesday night, was removed from all of UConn’s digital platforms Thursday morning, the spokesperson said.

UConn reached out to NC State to apologize about the mistake, the spokesperson said, and it was well received from the school.<<

Exactly. Anyway it I guess it doesn't matter. I hear they are going with a more family friendly logo:

I was the one who alerted the administration. We’ve had enough recent negative publicity and figured we’d probably want to avoid a Rutgers-like situation.

Not really to crap on your joke, but the color of the Wolf level in Cub Scouts is now red.

I'll let google know...

Seriously, there's color associated with Cub ranks now? Is it just the badge or is it something more?

 

[aburks41]

Why not let the students choose the name? They could have come up with something way better than the Pack

Tiger is orange

My son is a Wolf now and unless you got last year's overstock (specifically Amato's in Middletown), the manual, neckerchief, and front panel of the cap are all red. When I was a kid, Wolf was yellow as depicted in the illustration.

Incidentally, Bear is still sky blue and WEBELOS is sort of a plaid.

And then they can play the end of this video every game. Don't know why this popped in my head reading your post. I guess I watched too much Nickelodeon with my kids.

Crap! We’re never getting into the ACC now!

 

[Mano]

Is there an “insert name” kid right now in the student section? For a while recently there was the lumberjack looking kid. You need a signature kid.

Burly, backwards pink hat kid?

Courant: In ‘unacceptable misstep,’ UConn uses N.C. State Wolfpack logo to promote student section

>>“We committed an unacceptable misstep by using an NC State mark as a centerpiece of this logo,” he said. “As soon as the mistake came to light, we removed the logo from all our digital platforms and reached out to NC State to apologize. The apology was accepted in generous fashion by NC State and we will be taking corrective actions internally to ensure something of this nature never happens again.”<<

Yeah. There was a neon beanie kid who was usually around him too

Oh, or I don't know, maybe stick with the established tradition? Somewhere in the athletic dept I feel like there's standing "student engagement commitment" that feel like it has to "invent tradition" in order to justify itself.

Seriously though. Doesn't anyone vet stuff anymore.

A new club area gets announced and released to media. A few days later it gets scrapped because no one thought though its impact on the Jazz monument.

UConn establishes a student tailgate area and then the AD sends a nastygram threatening to close it.

UConn announces a pointless redesignation of the student section but retracts it because the student designer lifted the design from NC State.

This kind of stuff should not happen at all, never mind so consistently, and especially in an athletic department with higher administrative overhead than most of P5 schools.

 

[AuRevoirAAC]

It would be awesome if the student section was called "Siberia". This would make for some epic white-outs if we could claim this as our thing

 

[UConNick]

It's no secret, I think, that the student section is a shell of its former self (for a multitude of reasons) and I commend their effort in trying to rejuvenate the area and its feel. But that ain't it, chief.

It looks like a clown show. This is downright embarrassing.

What we need is something new, fresh and uniquely ours. Maybe something like:

UW missed an opportunity to incorporate a clever 'U' and 'W' design with the dog's tongue.

As for UConn, what we need is to win games.
