userduders Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 Totally agree, the turf has not aged well. If anything changes, start with the turf first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94zipgrad Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 I don’t know but I think the Nike partnership came so close to season there wasn’t many option. I hope they add white pants & gold Jersey. If they did that and changed the helmet color up & decals on helmets you could have really cool options again.

Captain Kangaroo Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 A Zips game broadcast mentioned the Infocision turf would be replaced in the offseason. It is 12 years old, and typically shouldn't go more than 8 years between replacements. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
userduders Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 I say, big Z in the middle of the field and script Akron in the end zones. Maybe we can find a script Akron we can all believe in LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice 2nd option you put together! Maybe a Roo head in a corner of each of the endzones too! Gotta keep the Roo present!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my style, at least. However, I agree, they can still get creative and switch it up a bit, more color combos and a different helmet could go a long way. Also, off topic a bit, but I wish they would do something with the field a bit. They didn't paint it this season, so a fresh coat would be nice on the center logo and endzones. And they can switch that up too. Why not? I like the center logo, but it would be cool for a different design or something in endzone. In any event, it looked really worn even for the first home game. But perhaps I'm just being nitpicky haha. It does look worn, but that’s just because the artificial turf is getting old. They’re not going to be able to paint it since it’s not natural grass. They’re eventually going to have to replace the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does the current field look like, I'm having bigtime mandela effect where I swear it's still the ARoo, but then I see the Z on the field in my head because they changed it on the Infocision Sign and the basketball court. My head hurts now...how something you literally see all the time and when forced to remember what it looks like you can't.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been the same since InfoCision opened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nice thing about the Z is it's the same for both sides, like the basketball court. If they really want the script, they could do the end zones like your first option with the Z in the middle. Geez, now I'm sounding like a client: can we combine them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Section210Zip Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 not only is the field worn but then we painted the lacrosse lines on it and made it look worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJGood Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 I always liked the traditional Akron font and feel it is certainly better than this new script Akron. I don’t have a strong preference on the logos just don’t care for the script. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like your Z logo with the chromed helmet to. I also liked the yellow/gold helmet with the moving A worn when Gerry Faust was our coach in 1986 to 1994.

I don't think they actually need to plant more grass on the hill behind the south end zone. Fertilizer and aeration should be sufficient.

The main issue some on here (especially the graphics design guys) have with it is that it is using a stock Nike font, so any team (middle school or high school) could pull off the same look. I love the Z, but I agree, this is a classy look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
