Read the story above in today's Tampa Bay Times.  If this is what I think it is, does the horned U go away?  I sure hope not.

It is not mentioned.

I don't read his comment like that, but that said, if they eff with the  , I'll be pissed ... 

[SRQ]

nah, dw is just trying to put a good spin on this 'opportunity'.  

[charsibb]

This was discussed in the nBE thread - it's conference branding, not school branding

 

"Once the name is selected by the membership, we'll have an opportunity again to rebrand and to start a new identity," said Woolard

[Oldsmobull]

Maybe this would be a good time to come up with a better name than "Lady Bulls" for the USF women's sports teams.  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?   

[BaltoBull]

Keep the "U" - get rid of the SF.

 

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.

I got the impression the "rebranding" was more about the status USF would hold within the new conference. 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.

Right on.

 

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.

 

Collins?

Allens?

Doug should not be allowed to talk to the press again until we're out this mess
