48erhater Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Dixie State University is changing their nickname again. They went from Rebels to Red Storm. Now they are changing to the Trailblazers. On the news website it's already been voted as bad by the public. http://fox13now.com/2016/04/11/dixie-state-university-unveils-new-brand-mascot/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Not a good logo, but +1 for using a white buffalo. I think the head is not far off, but it looks like they just gave up on the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 And here I am thinking the Sabres came up with yet another buffaslug... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48erhater Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 It might actually be better than the old logo though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Not really a bad logo per se. For a college it's not too bad. If it was for the Sabres or the Bills, then yeah it's one big pile of dinosaur excrement. Spoilers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DustDevil61 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Other choices were the Raptors and Sun Warriors. Renegades was an option too. They went with Trail Blazers. Just "Blazers" might work with the heat of St. George. I wonder if Mavericks, Bucks, and Heat were suggestions there too? I'll admit, given that I grew up in the region, Raptors or Renegades would've been the best (and most unique too) fit. But it could be worse. I won't be surprised if the school decides to change again in 2022. AKA @LanRovr0 on Twitter LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaha32 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 For a school that seems to have identity issues, you'd think they'd want to finally get it right. The center of the logo is nothing more than empty white space lacking any definition. DesignsByHahn.com Behance Dribbble Instragram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Ugh. It's like the Hasek-era mated with the Buffaslug.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panthers_2012 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I think for shading they were like "hey,we'll just shade the sides to make it look nice!" Not counting that they already had 2 outlines with the buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a local nickname. When it was settled by early Mormon Pioneers it got the nickname of 'Dixie' for being in southern Utah and it's cotton production.

MC Buffalo Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I'll stand firmly in the minority and say, that's not all that bad. Not many logos using a Buffalo/Bison get it right. Hell, the Sabres are one for three (I'm not counting the Original and Current logos as two different ones), and if anyone should be sensitive to how a Buffalo/Bison look on a logo it should be a team representing Buffalo.

CrimsonBull9584 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I'm confused. I thought that they were the "Red Storm". But they were the rebels? What am I missing? And if they were indeed the Red Storm, why change that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
