If this is what I think it is, does the horned U go away? I sure hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought "lady bulls" didn't make a lot of sense...I never saw a lady bull in a pasture. Would the term "Bullettes" for the women's teams be acceptable? Is "Bullettes" sexist or offensive to women? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop branding us as a directional school and more of as a unique university. If people are genuinely interested in knowing what school our logo represents, they won't need the "SF" to remind them where we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No longer the young, start-up program coming in among the rest of the old, established teams, rather sort of the veteran of a higher level conference. The only rebranding any of our programs need to do, in my opinion, is that of a winning program. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still say ditch the 'SF' and concentrate on our image as a bull, not on our logo, pointing out the fact we are a directional state school. In Maryland, they did this years ago when Western Maryland, tired of negative perception chanced the name of the school to "McDaniel" named after one of the schools founders - It seems to have worked out for them.
