Sorry if already discussed on the season. Why does UK football have the awful looking new UK symbol and bball still have the old? Haven't changed the court yet? Not sticking with the awful new one?
UK logo....
- Thread starter KYBorn&Raised
- Start date
I'm stocking up on gear now. Never gonna buy apparel with the new one. Awful.
Looks like they're phasing out the old logo. The ugly new logo is on the seats for the coaches/players but the mid court logo is still the same for now
I believe its already at Memorial Coliseum. I would say that next season we will have that floor with a checkered board design behind the baskets
I honestly feel like somebody is trolling us with the new logo. It's hideous. Put me down as another person who won't buy anything with the new crappy UK on it.
Who in the hell makes a K like that? Would love to know who was behind this change.
I also won't buy anything with that logo. I wonder if they realize that they are going to lose lots of money in merchandise sales with that stupid looking logo? I can't believe Mitch would let that happen. They should have released a poll and let fans voice their opinion on it before deciding since we are the ones that put the money into merchandising sales.
Won't be long before schools are changing logos every few years like they'be been doing with uniforms. As JasonS said above....merchandising. It's all about the money.
Meh...people don't like change. Personally, I like it, it's very clean and graphically, looks like a more unified shape. The null space in the middle of the old logo is awkward, and I'm sorry, but there is nothing particularly unique or special or imaginative about the old UK logo.
I'm sick of the old logo, and it irks me that has become the only logo the school uses. I've said for years they need to come up with a couple of wildcat character logos. Maybe this logo change is a sign they are finally going to do something to cater to a fanbase that rabidly consumes logo merchandise.
A selection of wildcat character logo stuff would be particularly great for kids.

It's a weird K, but not a big deal to me. I'm surprised Rupp floor wasn't changed with Memorial and Commonwealth already changed. I really like the floor at Memorial with the checkerboard and font of Kentucky. Will Rupp be getting that type of treatment in the future too?
The new logo is hideous. Someone in marketing should be fired.
I find the whole thing greatly amusing. The change was so subtle I didn't even notice it until I looked at them side by side. Guess some just have to have something to complain about.
Who is old enough to remember when this logo needed to be changed and why?

I had that shirt.
And yes, I know why.
Yep............Who is old enough to remember when this logo needed to be changed and why?
I have previously made my own feelings known about this change--radical, cartoonish, and somewhat childlike that it is. Just imagine this: what do you think would happen if the same thing were done to Yankees fans? What if the famous NY logo were suddenly tweaked in the middle of the night with no warning and no justification? People in NY would be slitting their wrists. It was absolutely STUPID beyond belief that any person in our athletics department would change our long-time interlocking logo. UK has not had that logo for long; however, it was a design almost universally well-liked and has become a lasting trademark of our school and athletics programs. This is another example of someone thinking a bit too much and too little at the same time. To not consult with BBN is more than an insult--it's tacky and just bad form. The new logo: drop the damn thing, it looks cartoonish, and no, you do not make a "K" this way. Get rid of it now before it's too late.
If you can't figure out why there was an outcry and this had to be changed look at the tongue and only the tongue. Some people have too much time on their hands.Who is old enough to remember when this logo needed to be changed and why?
If this is the new logo, I like it better than the old one... by far. As a graphic designer, the uneven white space around the white border on the old logo always looked bad to me. This one is much cleaner.
