God I can't wait until this trend dies.

A brief homage to the best Rutgers set in recent memory: their final Nike set which lasted exactly one year. The chain-mail motif was a great modern touch.

Sure this is cleaner, but I really felt like they had a unique thing going with the chest stripe. I'll miss it.

Well, for the most part, these logos are cleaner than the set that preceded them, so that's an upgrade. But the monogram really looks off to me. I really wish they could have found a way to update the highlander bear mascot though. Would have been a fun identity.

Dear lord

It appears Under Armour is attempting to drop Cal as well. https://247sports.com/Article/California-Golden-Bears-Under-Armour-endorsement-apparel-shoe-deal-could-terminate-early-148621989/

That would be a bummer. UCLA has looked incredible the last few years.

Well it's a little boring, but it's absolutely an improvement over this:

Looks like they're going back to the Cactus Bowl name, unless they find another title sponsor: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/bowls/2020/05/27/camping-world-bowl-becomes-cheez-bowl-phoenix-game-cactus-bowl/5272031002/

Fun fact: The Cheez-It Bowl trophy is a bowl of Cheez-Its

Sure Maryland has made shoehorning the flag into their uniforms a major facet of their brand identity. Good for them. I just don't think they've ever actually done it in a way that looks good. I actually think the Maryland flag is a pretty good (albeit loud) design and could be used well on a uniform. I think they finally found a good look on the jerseys with shoulder caps: The helmets have always been garish though

I'm sorry but absolutely none of the Maryland flag uniforms have been good, IMO

Hope their goofy front facing wolf logo dies too

Cal used to give the QB and punter the same number. It allowed them to pull off fake punts every once in a while, including this beauty by Jared Goff:

Interesting. Is this replacing or coexisting with the marks from their 2014 rebrand? It would be a shame if this is an overhaul--the 2014 brand is fantastic IMO.

Supposedly the wishbone C+A was the baseball cap logo from 1958-1999: https://ucdavisaggies.com/news/2019/3/13/football-bringing-back-an-aggie-classic-the-ca-logo.aspx I dunno. I agree that wishbone Cs are overused, but IMO the A gives the logo some charm and distinguishes it from the pack. Perhaps I'm biased though, because I always thought the horse identity was pretty bad. Side note: There's also a pretty decent script Davis logo that the football team had been making heavy use of from 2015 up until last season. I hope they bring it back at some point this season.

I really like that wishbone CA, but yeesh, the whole athletics brand is a mess. The A-in-C and the Horse-in-C logos clash badly, and they're using a wordmark as their primary, for christ's sake:

Tbh, this is the uniform I'm used to seeing him in.

I miss the Niners' metallic pants.
