    New logo is alright, but the black text and outline around is a bit much. It fits better on the Zero can than it does on the regular - and that was a deliberate choice:

    “We think that the non-sugar segment of colas will continue to grow very fast in this country. We’re seeing consumers pivoting,” Laguarta said, noting that zero had already been a “strategic” product in Europe and elsewhere.

    To that end, “zero sugar is going to be the protagonist of our communication strategy,” Porcini told CNN.

    To highlight the zero line, the new logo uses black font and a black border, a nod to Pepsi Zero’s black can and label.

     

     

    I've never really understood the shift from "Diet" to "Zero Sugar", while still producing both products. They both use aspartame and acesulfame potassium, and they both taste terrible. I guess the Zero Sugar drinks might be slightly less terrible, but they're all the same thing to me. They could use sucralose, allulose, or erythritol to differentiate one, but nope. They both have that distinctive aspartame taste, so why should I buy Zero Sugar if I already don't like Diet?

     

    I guess what I'm saying is, making Zero Sugar the focus of the brand is stupid.

    I was hoping for them to follow the good example of Burger King, and just go back to the best-known logo.  But if this is as close as we are going to get to the real Pepsi logo, then I guess it'll have to do.  It's definitely an improvement over what came before.  Still, the flaws in the font would be so much less irritating if the lettering were in blue instead of black.

     

    Burger King didn't go back to their old logo either, but they did a much better job of making it feel like they went back to the old logo. The font in the new Pepsi logo is just so obviously wrong, and the black looks out of place.

    Yes, and the draft cap is brand new.  

    So, 1 hat out of 260 other hats listed on Fanatics used Athletic Gold in the artwork.  1/260.  

    Now do the tees.  I just flipped through 5 pages and found 1 Yellow Tee and 1 other shirt that had Athletic Gold in the design.  That's 2 out of 360 tees.  

     

    The t-shirts I found with athletic gold:

    By virtue of being from Maryland I've blindly supported their athletic programs my entire life because, homer. With that being said, Testudo is a lame mascot in every form. And this is coming from a guy the was a Ninja Turtles fan growing up. Give me state flags, banners and the letter M any time over the Terrapin.

     

    I think I have a solution.

    The state flag branding isn't exactly a recent trend for UMD.

     

    Maryland Terrapins Alternate Logo | SPORTS LOGO HISTORY

     

    The use of the flag/banner on uniforms should definitely be toned down, but not completely scrapped. Like mentioned before the football team's uniforms are pretty tame from the neck down. The flag design needs to stop covering the entire helmet. It's never been a good look.

     

     

    At least that logo has Testudo holding the flag. They haven't used a logo with Testudo since 2012, and the turtle shell helmets were back in 2011. A whole decade of nothing but flag imagery across all their sports. They may as well be the Maryland Marylanders at this point. They've been so focused on the state's unique flag that they've forgotten about the school mascot that is also incredibly unique.

    Maryland needs get away from the flag heavy stuff and lean in to the turtle. 

     

    Short of Under Armour completely collapsing and getting out of uniforms entirely, I don't see that happening. As long as Kevin Plank still has a flag fetish, Maryland will plaster it all over.

    Notre Dame announced they're wearing green Sept 23rd against Ohio State

     

    Too bad it's still the crappy blue-numbered green jerseys. I really hate Under Armour and their stupid insistence that all green uniforms across all sports have to have blue numbers/script outlined in gold. It sure would be nice if ND were the next team to announce their departure from UA.

    And both teams looked at the previous expansion of the Rockies and Marlins and said,

    Looks like a legitimate draft hat leak; I assume they won't go on sale until early April. 

     

    Kinda like them; glad the Bengals are using this logo more vs. the B.  New Era most likely didn't want a BeBals look. 

     

     

    Not my style, but a pretty solid design. Will definitely be interesting to see how all the letter logos work out though. Those could be rough.

  9. Good to know that their ransom emails will have a new logo at the top.

    Major Tuddy

     

    What an embarrassment

     

     

     

    A hog mascot makes sense, and was the best of the options they gave. Everything else about this is dumb.

     

    The mascot of the Commanders of course has the rank of... Major?

    WTF is "Tuddy"?

    Why is he wearing a WWI Doughboy helmet?

    Why is he wearing the old uniform with Commanders slapped on the chest? We get the reference to the Hogs; you don't need to be that on the nose.

    All the rigging that they have been doing for years for bigger teams would bite them back on the ass when specifically a lower team goes to win it all... irrelevant now that the playoffs are expanding but imagine if they didn't... they would be embarrased.

     

    So they're supposed to be embarrassed that they made the right decision this year by putting TCU in? What?

    Fun fact: The ACC has won more football national championships since 2013 (3) than the Big Ten has since 1971 (2.5). I’d actually be really interested in a documentary or long form on the mythology of the Big Ten / how they’ve leveraged what’s mostly the Ohio State brand into this power position.

     

    That is a fun fact! Then there's also Penn State and Nebraska winning titles in that timeframe before joining the Big Ten, only to become shadows of their former selves after joining. Will be interesting to see if USC follows this trend.

     

     

    Anyway, go TCU. Give this season the fun ending it deserves.

    Here is my take on @burgundy's suggestion to be asymmetrical. I studied the old logo and think they may have tried to hide a MW in a four peak range. I think this is SUPER interesting, but may be too abstract for it's own good. But I felt good enough to try it in team colors.

    I think there is definitely a W to be found in the shadows on the right. Maybe it would be more recognizable with fewer zags in the mountains? And maybe have the lit peaks on the right touch the outline?

    This kind of blew up on twitter but check this out

    Obviously my thinking was making an MW in the shape of a mountain. Inspired by the Big XII's bold look with easy variation for team colors. The M definitely fits better to the shape, but I played around with making it as symmetrical as I could without compromising either letter.


    Would love to hear thoughts!

     

     

    A very nice start, but I think making it so symmetrical is hurting it. I think using the mountains of the old logo as a basis for the new shape would help. The extra peak on the right side is perfect for the middle of the W.
