Blue & Gold

He said "B.M."

You’re too modest 😉

Good point. I’m digging the new A. I liked it as soon as I saw it & I like it even more now than I did this morning. 💪💪

No. So far they only have the blue hoodie and blue t-shirt. In hindsight the weather seems to have broken so I probably should have just gotten the t-shirt 😂

I like it. A lot. Somehow you guys designed an A that is both classic and modern. It’s also got some “Flying A” in its DNA.

Watch the video Clark posted. They use the new front in AKRON ZIPS. (New font is all-caps.) It’s sharp!!

Just purchased a new A hoodie from the Student Union book store. Polos are still only available online but I’m definitely getting one of those as well.

I was prepared to be literally upset by an overly busy, ugly, silly logo. It is none of those things, so I am not upset. It's sharp. It's clean. I'm content. Nothing compares with the Z, but since I've been told (by those on this board) that we're not completely retiring the Z, I am happy. Judging by the photoshop of DJ Irons, it looks like we'll be putting it on the side of the helmet. Question: Are the rest of the letters in the "AKRON" and "ZIPS" shown in the video also a new font?

I like it! Well done. Like how they incorporated the Z into the A.

I'm jonesing for any updates whatsoever And, btw, Pete Nance would be a fantastic get and perfect fit. Maybe he'd like to come home & play in front of friends and family while picking up a master's? 🙏🤞

And we lost out on Lanae Riley 😑 ... to Middle Tennessee 😒

I'd be fine with a nice looking A because, 1: it's going to be our primary logo (we can keep the secondary logos with the Z and with the variations on Zippy, e.g., my avatar), and 2: the new logo has to look nice on the side of a football helmet (PRIORITY NUMBER ONE - which the Z sure does & why I'm perturbed they're relegating it to second-tier status). It simply must not be too busy (as was the A-Roo-Head logo which just looked like a blob from more than 10 feet away).

We're definitely unconventional... quirky, funky, eccentric... when it comes to our name and mascot. But I love it; it's pure, undiluted Akron.

That’s cool, if it’s well done. I love the Atlanta Braves’ A^^

Comic Sans. 😂 I'll mention again, I like the Script Akron on the front of baseball & basketball jerseys. It's classic. Since it's pulled straight off a Nike website it's just not appropriate as a primary logo for a D-1 school.

I mistakenly posted Noah Perez’ commitment here thinking he was a ‘23 commit before seeing he is actually a ‘22 commit.

I disliked the A-Roo-Head logo as much as I like the Z. IMO it's one of the worst sports logos I've ever seen.

I’m anticipating being underwhelmed. (At least there’s no way I’ll be as upset as I was when Lee Owens changed our colors from blue & gold to blue & pee.) With so many teams which already use a variation of the letter A as their logo I can’t imagine it’s an easy ask to come up with an original, unique, and inspiring take on the letter.

Ouch. I had been keeping tabs on him. 🙁
