no. poor feller looks like ol yeller just before he got s..., well, everybody
also no.
Damn. Now that you've said it I can't unsee it.also no.
too busy, no message. looks like some weak bodega wall spray can art.
With all due respect you are obviously too young or constantly stoned to remember UConn won 11 national championships with the smiling dog. It was recognized world wide with out Uconn or Connecticut on a shirt, just the smiling dog. A brand.too nice, no 'wow' factor.
this dog looks more likely to lick ur face, or pee on ur leg.
the current one is more likely to chew ur leg off. that's my dog!
coldly handsome, too.
the big clock on the wall sez it 2-0-2-2, very soon to be 2-0-2-3.With all due respect you are obviously too young or constantly stoned to remember UConn won 11 national championships with the smiling dog.

For anyone that ever played a sport the idea of defeating an opponent with a smile is way beyond that of a growl.
Everyone knew the smiling dog entering the gym, or on tv.
The present wolf does not look like a dog. Again with all due respect my last on the topic. Hope you can find a day to catch reality.
The Nike, Warde, Susie connection set the program back rather than ahead as far as logo and merchandise goes.
Fixed it LOL: As a compromise, how about the Block C on one side and a husky with a dead GOLDEN eagle in its mouth on the other.As a compromise, how about the Block C on one side and a husky with a dead eagle in its mouth on the other.
Captain A-Mora-caSomebody had better tell Captain HIMerica about this soon:

adapt accordingly.
As a descendant of the MacTaggarts I fork-ing LOVE THAT. Imagine the nosebleeds on opposing teams if a we fielded an entire tartan uniform for special games? Rach coin!
I'd love that. Maybe I'm not in such a small minorityI hope the brand deptartment has though of this already, but a pseudo retro alternate where we use the late 90’s/early 2000’s basketball uniform template with the old husky logo on a white helmet would be awesome

Unfortunately I agree with coach Mora that the C from our baseball program (hook C ?) is the classiest and unique to UconnAfter seeing the flag-themed block C to be used for the UMass game, I am convinced beyond a doubt that the Block C must remain the core helmet decal to be used by this team. I am a relatively new fan, so i recently learned about this being principally a RE-era branding, but it doesn't matter. it's such a clean design.
I sense that UConn may be looking for a fresh start, or to align branding among teams, etc.. those things are fine, but I still think this decal must remain a core part of the brand. It's a great design, and it is in the university font as well, so very much aligned to the overall brand strategy.
Additionally, something bout the navy helmets with navy facemasks and the dog decal, just doesn't sit with me. It looks boring, cheap even. The Navy Helmets with white facemask and block C is a solid look. However, the best look of all IMO is the white/white/white uniform, with block C and navy facemask on the helmet. gorgeous combination that will never age - think packers/alabama.
Finally, if my suspicions regarding UConn branding are correct, I want to remind the athletic leadership that plenty of schools have football-only quirks in branding, or specific-sport branding, within their greater athletic brand. Notable examples:
- Princeton Football Helmet (wings - they do not use the "tiger print P" typically seen everywhere else)
- Michican Football Helmet (actually princeton wings)
- Delaware Football Helmet (same wings as princeton and michigan)
- Tennessee Lady Vols basketball (sky blue accent to the standard Volunteer orange used by mens & other womens teams)
- Many college baseball teams (Uconn included among those - "hook C")
There are surely others I can't think of at this moment, but you get the point. Block C may not have the history of these programs, but it's a simple, clean, and football-distinctive look that I believe deserves a place of prominence moving forward, as opposed to the path-to-extinction I'm seeing so far.
We'd get kilt if we wore that.
'fan opinion'all design trends, cultural norms, and fan opinion suggests the return of the Proper Dog, the Old Dog, is inevitable. hope you're on board in "2-0-2-7" or whenever
