When we launched the new logos and also when we went 1-A they said they wanted to be known as USF to rid the directional school issue and build a branding like USC, etc.We never got there.

They mess it up everywhere and call us ucf. South florida is easy. South florida is what majority of them like to call us. Directional Shrectiomal. Who cares. Sucess on the field and exposure is all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't change a brand overnight when most casual football fans probably didn't even really know who we were until this season...I prefer to be referred to as USF personally...

It is taking hold. I see us being referred to as USF quite a bit and interchangeably with South Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read in the past others did not like USF do to the confusion with the University of San Francisco (even the same colors), but really who are they? they don't even have a football team!USF/South Florida is in the spot light now and now is the time to brand the University!Pick it and run with it!

Also I do not hear much confusion of USF UCF, at least after this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
