The greatest logo in college football is gone. The new one is pathetic.

Reminds me of Conan O’Brien dressed up in southern cosplay for a sketch.

Sometimes, when these things happen, simpler isn’t always better. I liked the older mountaineer logo better.

Surprised the NCAA OK’d the use of tobacco imagery here. It IS 2013 after all.

As a bearded white guy who smokes, am I allowed to be offended by this caricature?

In reply to a3uge.

We’ve had the block “A” as our primary logo for years. It’s been on our football helmets since the 80’s.

The old school Yosef looks hand drawn because it probably WAS hand-drawn back in the 70’s when it first appeared (if not earlier). App dropped the ball on this in that they should have tweaked it just a bit to modernize it in a fashion similar to the way the San Jose Sharks and Arizona Cardinals slightly tweaked their logos.

It’s successful when you consider what they were trying to do, but what they were trying to do was stupid.

In reply to Tom R. Kind of like how the Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals, Carolina Panthers and Miami Dolphins did. Although with the Dolphins, the only mistake they really made was eliminating the helmet from the logo. However, they look fine now.

At first, I thought this was a joke. But after reading the article, and seeing that Yosef is their new alt with the Block A being the new Primary, I’m less bothered by it. Yeah, it’s a great throwback logo, but it wouldn’t be my first choice for my alt. Maybe it’s because it vaguely looks like someone just figured out how to use Illustrator’s Live Trace function, but that could just be the snob in me talking. If they cleaned up the edges/angles, I’d be a bit more ok with it for limited use.
