It sucks, because I don't like any of the new logos at all. Oddly enough the only one I like even a little bit is the one that the rest of ya'll hate: The interlocking BG & retail logo together side-by-side. Still I like the old logo best.
The thing I've always loved about the old logo was it's simplicity. I like simple logos. I think a logo should be something that a small child can doodle on his trapper keeper while he should be reading his woefully outdated geography book. The old logo was awesome because you could easily replicate it. You could shave it in your head, if so inclined. You could tattoo it on your leg (Freak
). You could easily carve it into a pumpkin. The logo just worked.Logos are one of those things that I hate changing. They should be at least somewhat traditional. I know that we haven't had the "LT" logo forever, but I grew up in the BG area and we've had it all of my lifetime, it's what I've always identified with the university.
I'll never be happy seeing BG gear, and especially uniforms, phasing out the traditional logo to what I think are vastly inferior "NEW" logos. The worst part is you can bet your ass this logo change is done for the exact same reason as every other logo change in history: to spur merchandise sales.
