OnWis97 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 It's not that bad. But even if it is that bad, it's still the biggest logo upgrade in sports history. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

I don't think it is fair to call this PC, this school has what seems to be a shameful history and honestly, if true both names should be changed. Quote Between 1963 and 1993, the institution increased their Confederate identity: parade floats adopted themes from the Old South, students appeared in black face and Confederate costumes, horseman carried the Confederate flag at school events; mock slave auctions were held, and the yearbook staff depicted a scalping with someone dressed as a Native American and another person hanging from a tree. Combine that with their LDS founding and the racism present in that church's leadership (I'm not stating this to start an argument or have a debate, look up some of Brigham Young's comments if you don't know.) I think Dixie needs to start over. Denver Nuggets Kansas City Chiefs Tampa Bay Rays Colorado Buffaloes Purdue Boilermakers Florida Gators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDixonDesign Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 It's a solid logo. My only problem is the balance of the position of the head, but other than that, it's solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_grateful_ted Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 There's just so much blank space in its rear, and the lines are too jagged and don't like natural at all it's almost distracting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am I missing? And if they were indeed the Red Storm, why change that? Originally, before the move to Division II (They were a Junior College at that time) they were the Rebels. Unfortunately, the nickname carried some heavy duty baggage thanks to what kcchiefsfan mentioned. Before the switch to Red Storm, they toned down the negative aspects of the Rebels nickname. Then came the switch to Red Storm... which was pretty made panned by a lot of people. In fact, in the beginning of this process, 7 out of 10 students hated the nickname in a survey done in 2014... The final choices were Trailblazers, Raptors and Sun Warriors. Trailblazers won the vote, so there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreamSoda Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 This is hardly terrible. It's a fine logo and much better than a lot of buffalo logos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonBull9584 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I get the they changed from Rebels to Red Storm to avoid the negativity that it brings. But what was wrong with Red Storm for them to want to change to Trailblazers? Is there a meaning in Red Storm that I'm missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tygers09 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 What feet have to be included, if not, everyone automatically indentifies it as buffaslug?? I think this is an awesome logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see... Similar outlining, Dark nose area, red eyes, white chin hair tuft, Buffalo is white, horn and head positioning look similar too... It's more of a stretch to say they don't look similar.

kroywen Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 It basically looks like a strange hybrid of the Sabres' buffaslug logo with their previous red/black logo. Definitely takes a lot of elements from both logos. The body shape resembles the buffaslug, while the buffalo's head resembles the red/black Sabres logo. So it's derivative, potentially infringing on the Sabres' copyrights, and terribly awkward looking (especially with all that white space). I don't care what it's replacing - this is not a well-designed logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
