dont care Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Changing to that name is incredibly dumb. When you look up university of providence on google and yahoo there is only one entry for them on the first page, everything else his for providence college and the university of Rhode Island (providence) . Unless I'm missing something what does providence have to do with great falls Montana? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I was thinking Providence College had changed its name. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"brings the university back to its roots, founded by the Sisters of Providence and Ursuline Sisters in 1932" Even though it seems more of the hospital getting the naming rights than anything else. (Providence St. Joseph Health (PSJH) system) Makes you wonder if this is something you will see happen in the future. Instead of a company getting naming rights for an arena, they just go for the whole university. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

kroywen Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Awful name change, given that "University of Providence" sounds like it should be in Rhode Island, and is easily confused with Providence College. The helmet logo looks like an infinitely uglier version of Michigan State's logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Squared Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 In some ways, the new logo is actually worse. It feels like the current Sabres & Lions logos - a minimalist base with too much needless border detail. I would like the new logo better if they let the blue and green touch directly without the white buffer between every shape. Something like this rough draft: The blue and green contrast enough that they don't need all that extra detail between them. Maybe a simple white border around the entire logo for application on green or blue backgrounds. The wordmark would be fine enough with no border at all.
