The shape of Iowa is defined by the Mississippi River to the east and the Missouri River to the west, and Nebraska Wesleyan is just across the Missouri River from Iowa, so the name makes sense. 2 Quote oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .

If it fixes those horrible numbers on the football jerseys I'm good with anyone other than Nike taking a shot. If they move to adidas they'll get the top end uniforms so they may actually improve. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Jacksonville University Dolphins (Atlantic Sun, Pioneer Football League) announced new brand unveiling on August 28th. Cutting it close to the start of football season. Any thoughts on their current or new brand? http://www.judolphins.com/general/2018-19/releases/20180821ehkyop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumptious Ham Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 The word "bold" scares me. I love the dolphin jumping through the JU. I hope they stick with something like that. Btw, I noticed in that article that JU is a member of four conferences. How common is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio State is in three conferences due to women's hockey and men's volleyball not being Big Ten championship sports. Smaller schools (Div. II & III) are similar based on sports like swimming/diving, lacrosse and field hockey not necessarily being played at all the member institutions of the primary league.

I hope they stick with something like that. The city of Jacksonville has referred to itself as "The Bold New City of the South" for decades. You see a Jaguars fan group called the Bold City Brigade. The Jumbo Shrimp actually sell (I think have worn) Bold City caps. I don't know how much "bold" refers to the new branding rather than the city itself. 1 Quote "I believe in Auburn and love it!"

Fun fact: Nebraska is one of the top 5 states for total river miles. A lot of them are flat, shallow rivers, but the Platte River alone adds up to over 1,000 miles with all its tributaries. That's about a third of the distance across the continental US. Add in the fact that the Missouri and Mississippi are the two biggest and historically important rivers in the US (plus, they make up the NE/IA and IA/IL borders) and American Rivers is a decent enough name. 1 Quote 5th in NAT.

Earl Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I really wish they would mirror the helmet logo so both sides are front-facing. Maybe should try over-sizing it or do horns only.Link to Tweet 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new Huskie head reminds me of the 1980’s Washington Huskie logo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The yellow is easily the most striking part of the design, but it seems to highlight what should be the least important lines - the neck and the front of the thigh. 2 Quote oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .

Earl Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Since this has died down a little, are you all okay if I bring up D2, D3, NAIA rebrands & new logos? Seen a lot of them lately. I know some already have been posted but myself I've kept it it to Division I since that's what's on the mothership and they're schools most people are familiar with.

Earl Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Thank you. Representing the Little East Conference of NCAA Division III, WestConn (Western Connecticut State) Colonials rebranded in July by dropping their mascot & now identify with just a W Shield. Not exciting news but still a change nonetheless. They play their first football game tomorrow so I'm sure yet if their helmet logo will change.

SourceOLDNEW Not familiar with this school but that mascot had a ton of potential, and they should have at least kept it as an alternate (if they cleaned up the gradients) similar to how the Wisconsin Badgers have their primary W but still use the Bucky mascot logo a lot. As far as these new shield logos, they need thicker lines. There’s a lot of unimaginative empty white space. This update seems like a missed opportunity. 5 Quote DesignsByHahn.com Behance Dribbble Instragram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
