Are they being pushed to make a more aggressive logo too??

I don’t mind the current Husky logo, but I’ve always felt Jonathan looks a little too friendly and cuddly. I don’t think he needs to look fierce or overly aggressive (like the silly-looking cartoonish Louisville Cardinals logo), but a Husky is a strong and rugged dog, able to work and survive in the harshest of conditions. I believe an update could get that across better than the classic logo which depicts him more as a family pet.

It’s perfect. Why have the University representative by some angry canine who looks like he wants to bite someone. One of the nation’s hughest fan bases had no input into this procedure? How shamefull, arrogant and ignornant.

If looks more like the unreleased Nordiques update, then UCONN has made a terrible mistake.

Bein mean all the time gets tiring though, you know?

New logo means new goodies to be sold and hoping that loyal UConn fans will buy it (in more sense than one). Personally I think Jonathan looks allright as of now. Why make him mean? A goodnatured mascot is extremely discerning, charming and cool, especially if you have a very succesful (basketball) program.

Northeastern used to, but now they are using some Rorschach ink blob. Washington’s reminds me more of a collie.

But I do think the Husky itself has always needed to look less “friendly”. I think it’s tough to have a competitive look when your logo wants to run up and lick your face.

I like that UConn was one of the first institutions to adopt Armada, and the modifications to it made it a lot more legible and professional. I think Oregon State was the second to use it, although they pretty much used it as/is, up until a few weeks ago.
