Mitch B Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Am I the only one that thinks Kansas' logo is incredibly outdated? I mean I can deal with the head, but the body looks like a paint splatter.I wouldn't mind seeing the Jayhawk updated to something more abstract like K-State's Wildcat. I'd keep the current Jayhawk as a secondary logo. I'd retain Jay Hawk as our game mascot. I think a less cartoonish Jayhawk would look better on a footbal helmet or B-Ball uniform however.Given the current logos, I like the Trajan KU on a blue helmet with a red stripe. The Jayhawk looks best on a white helmet. I'd go for the blue KU helmet for most games and pull out the white helmet with the Jayhawk for a couple of special games.

Mitch B Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I kinda like the idea of dropping the U from the KU logo and just having their Trajan K be the logo on the helmet. Own the letter K.I'm not a fan of the Jayhawk on the helmet.I don't see that happening. Kansas has too much invested the KU brand.Yeah, you are right. "Rock. Chalk. Jayhawk. KU." It really wouldn't make any sense to remove the U but I think it might look better.The "KU" logo looks more like an academic logo than a logo for the side of a helmet. I guess I'm just saying I wish they had a different KU logo.Old-time Jayhawks like the old circus font. My affiliation with the school coincides with the Trajan KU branding of everything Kansas. I've seen the Trajan KU so much that it just looks right to me. I think its a good brand and provides a sleek and clean look for athletics.The multi-colored, multi-combo, mismatched football uniforms that Charlie Weiss brought to Kansas were an abomination in my eyes. They looked better suited for the 1970s. I prefer KU in simpler fashion ... A team in KU Blue and white with some KU Crimson highlights.But that is my opinion. "Of course, that's just my opinion.

BJ Sands Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 All the yellow in the Jayhawk logo is distracting to me. KU is a blue and red school, and any logo with that much yellow doesn't belong on its uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLEstones Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I really like Kansas' Jayhawk logo, however I do not think it belong on a football helmet. It doesn't fit well. The KU seems to fit a lot better (even though I don't like monogram logos for football). The Jayhawk is a great logo, as well as just the head of the Jayhawk, but it doesn't work on a helmet. I think it's better suited for an on-field application, either at the 50 yard line or in the end zones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTknight Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I think KU needs to move away from trajan completely and go back to the circus font. For football have 3 helmets. KU on blue,Jayhawk on white, and KU on red. 3 jerseys and pants blue,white,red. Get rid of gray/silver completely and add yellow trim like the the basketball team had back in the 80's. Use the waistband stripe from those basketball uniforms too. Put it on the helmet,sleeves,pants,and socks.(http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/charrison2122/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpszbsehy9x.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0)(http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/charrison2122/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps0m0q1wh1.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1)I loved the red helmet with the warhawk on it. That could be used as part of a fauxback.(http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/charrison2122/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsud5v63i0.jpg.html?sort=3&o=2)Red helmet and jersey with white pants and blue socks.Sorry about having links.

WSU151 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Kentucky really oughta get rid of Wildcats and just go with a horse-based name. This continuous homage to Secretariat is like an overplayed song on the radio. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.
