Jamikel Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 The Lansing State Journal reported today that the Board of Trustees officially replaced, universitywide, the Spartan green that's been used since 1997.The new shade is similar to the green used before 1997..Good move. Maybe other schools like BYU can follow in their footsteps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fixer Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Green is a color that needs to be dark in my opinion, at least as a primary color. Good move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umlegend80 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 The Block S is as dumb as the U for Miami. How stupid would it be for Virginia Tech to just use a T for their logo? What if Boston College just used a C for their logo? RETARDED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if Boston College just used a C for their logo? RETARDED.Agreed. I hate the block S. Especially since plenty of other schools use block S's. Why not go with the logo that's both better and more recognizable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Green is a color that needs to be dark in my opinion, at least as a primary color. Good movecouldn't disagree more. While it may look better on caps and fan gear, pine green just looks like a "soft" color next to kelly or any other bold shade of green.

What if Boston College just used a C for their logo? RETARDED.Stay classy buddy.The Miami "U" is one of the most recognizable college marks around. Comparing Virginia Tech's initials to Miami's is basically comparing apples and oranges. No one but VT uses a VT abbreviation. Same for BC, no one in Div1 uses the BC moniker but BC. How many teams use UM or MU? Exactly. Thanks for playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many teams use UM or MU? Exactly. Thanks for playing.I agree. Plus the block S goes with the basketball team's use of "State" on their jerseys. That could connotate any college, but in that case, with those colors, you know who they're talking about. I'm more a fan of the Sparty logo, but I don't have any objections with the block S.

J Sick Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I'm happy with the new green. I think it is too dark of a green to add black to our color scheme, as many are speculating. But, I'm sure Nike will try their damnedest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJR Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I'm going to congratulate the Detroit News for actually representing the two colors accurately.I wasn't aware that athletics officially used a different green than the rest of the university, so I was shocked to see you say that. The old green in that graphic looks nothing like the color we were using when I worked there, but two greens explains it.

J Sick Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Possibly the new green in action with Nike's new unis? The undershirts don't seem to match as well as with the older jerseys.MSU vs. PSU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logodawg Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 According to the article, this isn't a change for the athletics, just getting the rest of the university to use the same shade. Makes sense. Ferris started doing the same thing a few years ago, but it was opposite with the athletics dropping their darker shade and adopting the lighter crimson the rest of the university was using. I once had a car but I crashed it. I once had a guitar but I smashed it. I once, wait where am I going with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearhead Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I like the darker shade of green.With regard to MSU using "STATE;" How would it go over if the Spartans began to emphasize "MICHIGAN?" Would Wolverine fans erupt in protest? Afterall, basketball jerseys have smaller spaces. I know that in Texas, some Longhorn fans ridicule Texas A&M's use of "Texas Aggies" as sort of a 'brand infringement.' Would an MSU attempt to paint Michigan in green start a turf war?

DustDevil61 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 At first, I thought that this was a bad move (going dark), but if the "new" green is actually the original green, why not? Off topic, but now BYU needs to dump their BYU Aggie Blue (aka Utah State's navyish blue) and go back to their Cougar blue (royal). http://i.imgur.com/Pyc5qRH.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/RDXvxFE.gif LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
