B-Rich Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 The other night I watched alma mater #2 (Georgia Tech) in a basketball game at Nebraska. Although I had seen it before in print, ads, and other such items, this was the first time I had ever seen the weird script "Huskers" wordmark logo in use on a jersey (and on center court). It's HIDEOUS. Nothing about it makes me think of athletics. Instead it seems evocative of the logo of an upscale department store: "The best styles, the best selection, and the best price... you'll get it all at Huskers!" Probably because of its similarity to these: It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo_prankster Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 This is the logo I think of when I think of the tail end of Tom Osborne's tenure. The Fictional Story of Austus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilSox Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I never made this connection before. Probably because the main department store in my neck of the woods had a wordmark out of the 1890s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenaciousG Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Noooooo! I love the wordmark, probably because of stupid lizard brain nostalgia. But I still love it. It’s unique for sports. I don’t see what’s wrong with an upper Midwest state aligning themselves with the department store lifestyle lol.

hanny Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I enjoy the logo on its own, can’t stand it when placed over the N. Either way, very 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Impaler Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Personally love the script logo, I agree with TenaciousG though, probably more from a nostalgia standpoint. It is very 90's, and I'm ok with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
