Saint Peter’s Peacocks Unveil New Athletic Branding

August 29, 2020 - 21:16 PM

As part of a department-wide rebranding around one of the nation’s most unique mascots, the Saint Peter’s Peacocks recently unveiled a new primary logo, typeface and spirit marks.  “This is an exciting day for our student-athletes, coaches, staff, alumni and fans,” athletic director Rachelle Paul said in a statement. “Together,

Fantastic job. The uniform mockups look amazing too.

The name of this school with its mascot made me laugh

Overall, this is a good update. The new primary mark is miles better than the previous. However, I'm not terribly crazy about the full-body peacock. It looks like it has a cookie on it's back, not feathers.

It's been a long time coming, and not really a secret, but they are finally bringing back "Pride Gold" to the football and basketball uniforms!

Here is their "New" branding as well: https://www.uidaho.edu/-/media/UIdaho-Responsive/Files/brand-resource-center/support-services-ucm/trademark-licensing/university-of-idaho-artwork-update.pdf

I like this... but now they come even closer to matching the other black and gold “I” school in Iowa. 
 

I think the major shift away from metallic gold is a little misguided, although the wordmark is excellent and yellow-gold is still overall underused in sports. I like the gray accents as well because they are another “silver and gold” school similar to Colorado.

 

It’s also still sad to see them in the Big Sky. It makes no sense... the athletic dept. lost a ton of funding and they aren’t anywhere close to being an FCS juggernaut like NDSU.

They had little to no choice, so there is that.

 

I'm of two minds when it comes to athletic gold vs. old gold. Both can be great, but athletic gold can work with white in a way that old gold can not.

I like the new athletic gold, but I don’t think I like it more than metallic gold for them. I will say that I love the way they use gray/silver along with the gold. It’s a sharp look.

[Mingjai 1,027]

I prefer metallic gold. Idaho should be metallic silver and metallic gold with black accents. The state and school colors are silver and gold. It's a very underused color combination.

[CaliforniaGlowin 2,071]

Idaho's branding is way too safe for their name. Should be an aggressive or punk look.

Um... I think you’re thinking of the wrong kind of Vandals

Not really sure if this belongs here, but I don't know where else it would.

 

Would the NCAA consider enacting an anti-Confederacy themed nickname policy, similar to the one involving Native themed nicknames? As far as I can tell it would only effect a few schools;

 

Washington & Lee Generals - named for General Washington, but also General Lee (This ones kinda iffy)

Ole Miss Rebels

UNLV Rebels

Millsaps Majors - in honor of Confederate Major Reuben Millsaps

 

The ruling could also be expanded to school names, which would knock out a few more.

 

UNLV has had controversy over their Rebel branding for decades.

The Bruins’ other varsity spots will feature the Nike Swoosh, meanwhile. “Our student-athletes deserve every resource in

It will be nice to see UCLA in Nike for once but I thought UA did a great job with their football uniforms.

[sayahh 844]

Nike will definitely bring more stability and clout than UA.

The shoulder stripes which have looked great recently, will now suck.  Nike does such a crap job on those shoulder stripes.

If UCLA insists on this, they can make it happen. The Vapor Fusion has a side seam that can help support the UCLA stripes.
