It’ll be interesting to see if he reminds us more of Dalton Williams or Robbie Kelley.

Get a free membership to the Zippy's Kids Club if your youngster 6-and-under can find the "Z" in the A? Is there even a Zippy's Kid's Club anymore?

Either poor attention to detail on the behalf of UA, or they had bad grades…which would be surprising.

I think it was a stroke of Marketing genius to get everyone prepared to succumb to Script Akron!

If you've gone 180 degrees on it, it's impossible to like it more. That's the max.

Translation: Get off my lawn.😁

It just seemed funny to me that the latest Zips Headline is 1472 days old.

Definitely not the site of choice for the "latest" Zips news.

Awesome to see someone snap up the new logo as their Avatar! 🦾

Way to be the first to jump on the new logo as your Avatar, @Zip_ME87! 🦾

Then why should any school or sports team have a logo? Or Companies? It's your image. It's your brand identifier. It can/should generate revenue. It is important. I understand your point - If the Guardians win a World Series, no "Indians" fan will stay away from the victory parade. But a lame logo reflects poorly on the University, and a great one is uplifting.

So are we going to get tossed from InfoCision for throwing out the "Z" hand gesture now? Do we need to switch to an "A"? Hope not. Z forever! Free the Z!

My final verdict - I probably won't buy any gear with this new logo. But if it were free, I wouldn't be embarrassed to wear it. Better than script Akron, but falls well short of the "Z." Nice video.

I can live with losing her 1.0 ppg. Valpo is competitively beneath the MAC. Looks like she made a good move.

Freeman was in lot9 prior to the spring game and promised he’d be at UA for 2 more years. But only if the new primary logo doesn’t suck. No pressure, Guthrie.

Been done. Sucks just as bad as script Akron.

Fwiw - Stallworth was at the spring game.

How would you compare his right cross to Khadim Gueye's?

The nature of the event made is really tough to make any detailed evaluations. First...it began early? I arrived a little before 3 pm and had missed the first 10 game minutes. 🙁 The clock ran quickly...no commercial breaks...nuthin'. If you blinked, you missed a play. No video replay screen. You got one look at a play, and it was at the field-level view of the field house stands. Upper deck of InfoCision would have been much nicer. I was constantly flipping through my phone roster trying to match up new players numbers to their names. It'll be more informative to attend some of the August practices and scrimmages. I will definitely try to hit some.

Based upon a statistically-relevant sampling above, approximately 90% will not like it if it is script Akron.

"Script Akron" is a stock Nike font. It looks like the nostalgic dream of some guy in his 60's with z-e-r-o modern graphic design acumen. It's wholly unsexy. It's completely unimaginative. The stand-alone "Akron" visually connects to the city of Akron, and in no way associates with the University. I pray Guthrie has the acumen to sift through the scores of poor opinions and select something that looks cool on a helmet or t-shirt, looks cool next to our score on a televised event, is something the alumni and community can rally around, and sells a lot of merchandise.

Can’t believe any will end up at another D1 program. The Killer B’s (Boateng, Behm and Bubba) were the only returnees I’d have expected to make an impact in 2022. They’re all still in the Program.

Could you imagine being the intern responsible for updating the 2022 portal? What a thankless, horrible job.

Oddly...I don't think you missed a ton. I think Irons looks good. He throws the ball on a rope. Our DL didn't give him much pressure, so it is tough to determine if his ball security bug-a-boos are in the past. I have to believe a P5 transfer, or a "Dalton Williams 2.0" will be brought in as insurance...or perhaps to start. If we had to rely on Jankowski for any stretch of time in 2022, I'm not too confident we beat anyone outside of Saint Francis. Maybe we could...but it would be a huge risk entering the season with him as our #2. For the most part the OL fended off the DL. It's to be expected with the Freshman becoming Sophs, and our DL running the aforementioned vanilla schemes. No one seemed to get hurt. That's a big plus! Cory Smigel gets game MVP. He may hit some FG's from 41 or even 42 yards this season? 😉 No big, game-breaking runs. It does look like we'll be 4-deep in the backfield. No RB looked slow, or overmatched. I think the coolest thing was seeing the former players approach Coaches Ferri and Moorhead after the game and wish them well. Lots of warm hugs, smiles and well-wishes from the former players invited to show up. It was a great homecoming for those guys. I think the biggest concern going into the fall will be the DL. Not due to anything gleaned from the game...it's just the way it is. It was just fun to watch some Zips football amongst a "packed house." 🙂
