Uniform Update-Is A Change Coming?

Meaningless unless the new logo is also ditched. The new logo sucks...ask anyone who lives elsewhere if they can identify the team that the old logo represents. Now ask them about the new logo. Maybe a minor league baseball team?
 
Keep them all! I’d love it even as an option! How many schools have 2..3...4 different helmets! The kids love it! Get a nice matte National Flag blue helmet. The white with the block C and that grey with the chrome husky.
 
I don't understand why the silver/grey accent color keeps coming up....

I actually like the silver around the Block C quite a bit. It looks better than the grey.

The blue Block C on a white helmet looks good.
 
A bit too Ivy League for my taste. I like it better that the current gear but, I like blue helmets best.

As for the use of red. The absolute best uniforms going right now in all of NCAA-land are on TV9 right now. The UConn "Miracle on Ice" home hockey sweaters. Reason enough to keep red around.

They also just scored twice in the time it took to type this.

I like when we go toward the professional, NFL look and away from current fads or the high school look.

The white helmet, block C, and silver trim appears professional and very classy.

I don't hate our new logo and our current helmet, but the block C is preferable. It's simple, masculine, and memorable. For UConn football branding purposes, we cannot do better than the block C.

Trust me, I have a marketing degree.

Well, I don't have a marketing degree and I agree with you. You forgot to add "classy" when discussing the Block C. Along with the center stripe, the Block C says understated class. That is exactly how we want our state portrayed. Not some flamboyant look at us type uniform. While they are at it, get rid of all red trim. We hate red, and we love blue.

Actually a single letter isn't really an NFL look:

White helmet.
Block C, silver trim.
Thick national flag blue stripe.
National flag blue facemask.
Small outline of Connecticut on the front.
"Derpy 1959 Husky" helmet stickers when earned.

Sounds like a plan.

Why would we be getting rid of red trim when it's been on all the other UConn team's uniforms forever? The point of the rebranding was to make the look of all the athletic teams similar. Why do people want to get away from that again now?

You want the block C so badly, why not have that with a little red trim on the uniforms? Why not incorporate the block C as a secondary logo for the other athletic teams? Holy cow, this isn't rocket science.

New uniforms are on the way on 2019. I personally love the national flag blue, white and silver uniforms more than the red. I think Diaco pushed the red in the uniforms more during his tenure. Edsall wants to bring the old tradition back. I will say the grey uniforms are pretty sweet, even with the husky on the helmet. But I’m all on board with a classic Connecticut look that will never change. All the big time programs rarely change their logos and uniforms and it gives all generations something to relate to.

While I like the look of the past three years, I could live with the block C. I would prefer red trim over silver, and I agree that all athletic teams should follow the same template. Its all about branding. That is why I wish we would settle on something and make it ours for the next 50 years. I strongly agree with the the bolded statement above.

I think it's about 50-50 on red vs. silver here. There's definitely no consensus.

I like it. More important is consistent branding. Let's keep it (minimizing it is OK) and then revisit when its time to renew/replace the Nike contract.

I'm good with or without the red. I love the block C and think it's the best look. I haven't really seen a recent uni I'm appalled by and the variety is attractive to recruits. Personal preference would be to have a main uni (block C) for 7 or 8 games and then diff alts for the others. Pull out the alts for special games, night games, fenway/neutral site, high profile opponents etc.
