You can not like it all you want, and *gasp!* be classy about it, too. Using phrases like "piece of trash" and "stupid ass" to discuss a piece of BG history and tradition is as out of line as MACMAN's gay kick.

Just my opinion, though I expect I'm in the vast majority here.

I'd rather see the retail logo on there. If not that, I'd like to see the traditional logo.

Anything but the new traditional is just fine with me.

Does anybody know what the process is when changing logos? i would like to know whose idea it was to go with the interlocking BG? Can I get in conact with them and ask them to "BRING BACK THE BIRD!" The new helmet is visually uninteresting. There had to be a research team out there somewhere advising the athletic dept., or am I to assume that Greg Christopher made this decision alone. I doubt there is a more recognizable symbol of an athletic department that it's football helmet, and the new one just doesn't do it for me.

I'd look at it, but the pin-heads that run the site require flash, which my company system doesn't allow at the moment. And it won't skip to a nominal, non-flash form.

This is ironic, since I almost never go to the site anymore, getting almost all my BGSU news from this site.

Does anybody have a graphic they can post, so I can't start hating the helmet now, instead of when I get home?

Wow.

I hate it.

It stinks.

It is lame.

It conveys zero passion, identity, etc.

It doesn’t even have the retail logo, which I dislike more by the year, but would still be better than this.

I wouldn’t buy a shirt, hat, jersey, program, bumper sticker, or anything else with that weak attempt at change on it.

I dunno, the fan base of the New York Islanders got them to revert back to their traditional logo after the team big wigs thought using the Gorton's Fisherman was a good idea. . .

Old Traditional which they currently still use:

Awful logo they tried to use for 2-3 years or so:

He stinks.

He is lame.

He conveys zero passion, innovation, etc.

He doesn't even have the mental skill to manage schedule issues, which I dislike more by the year, but would still be better than the future.

I wouldn't buy a shirt, hat, jersey, program, bumper sticker, or anything else with our increasinly weak conference on it.

If what I saw on bgsufalcons.com opening page is the new helmet logo, then I'm very dissapointed. It sucks. Keep the bird people! :evil:
