    This thread needs a poll. 

     

    @a-zip this is your topic. I don't think you can edit a poll into this thread.

    If you started another thread with a poll, I could merge this one into it. 

    Funny, I tried to do a poll after I started this.  It wouldn't work, now I understand.

    The main reason I brought this up is because I feel like we are making a fresh start.  I would like to get as far away from the past 3 years as possible.  Now is as good a time to rebrand as any.  IMHO.  This does not take away for enthusiasm for the hiring of Coach Moorhead.  Relax

    I actually really like the script Akron-- feels like UCLA or Pitt which I think are unique-- and more importantly it tells a viewer where this team is from, who it is. I can see using the script Akron as primary and the Z as a secondary logo.  The Z is stronger than the old A with the roo for sure. 

     

    BTW, I am a brand and marketing nerd so my 2cents, while just my opinion, is rooted in the idea that just seeing a 'Z' is to obscure to derive any identity or meaning.  

    So if it feels like UCLA or Pitt, how is it unique?

    Congratulations Mr. Guthrie and Dr. Miller for hiring Coach Joe Moorhead.  You have renewed my faith in the program and I cannot wait to see the results.  Please change all of our sports back to the "Z" Logo.  When we had them they were considered one of the best and unique uniforms in the NCAA.  Hopefully this post will get enough likes to show you it is what the fans want.

    Her husband had a recent health scare.  she probably wants her husband to do whatever will make him happiest.  Rebuilding the Akron Zips may be less stressful than calling the offensive plays for a Power 5 school with a rabid fan base.

    Agreed.  There is a good chance she was the one wanting this.

    As much as I dislike Debbie Downer's post, they have a point.  If Moorhead is the guy, this could potentially be the last gamble on FBS for Akron.  If he doesn't manage to turn things around, I honestly can't see The U digging deeper in the pockets for another buyout/new coach in a few years.

    💯 this is it. ALL IN!  

     

    I would guess part of Coach M's negotiation is getting the $$ to get the coaches he wants.  He is smart enough to know he can't turn this around by himself.  I don't think Charlie Frye is a stretch as OC and I think it would be a good move for him.

     

    If Coach M is our guy, I would expect him to hit the transfer portal hard for to top flight players. I am sure his goal and UA's goal will be a very quick turnaround.  If you are a QB with NFL aspirations, Coach M would be a great guy to play for (Do you hear me Zach Gibson?)

     

    Oh, and please change back to the Z helmets!!

    He makes money from an organization that takes a small fortune from a country, China, that literally has slave camps where an ethnic minority Muslim group is forced to work and he says nothing about it. 

    So do you boycott all Nike athletes?......there are a lot of them 😉  Our blessed UA is now sponsored by Nike.  Do you expect Lebron and UA to speak out against the company that pays them?

    I prefer to look forward.  The rehashing and regurgitating of prior alleged wrongs is beyond tiresome.  

    I would love to look forward but when the same stupid mistakes continue, what do you expect?  The example I used was 30 years ago and then followed by more of the same.

    So what do you want to look forward to?the-definition-of-insanity-is-doing-the-same-thing-over-36222068.png

    only because it didn't seem to do so much for Dambrot when he was here.  That's all.

    Our BBball has always been good even playing in a high school gym.  

    Dambrot left so do you really think there was an intelligent embrace with Dambrot and Lebron?  NOPE!

    Same thing happened when we had Bob Huggins.  The board flipped Huggins the bird and then gave Gerry Faust a blank check to move to D1 football.

    not sure about hooking to Lebron but give Groce a million a year and a plane and recruiting $.  Convert Infocision into a basketball arena :)

    You have one of the greatest athletes in the world in Akron (with $$$ and Nike)  and you don't want to hook up with him?  You must be on the board at UA 😕
