Idig32 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I like the new look. I agree that the font is a little strange. I'll be interested to see what kind of uniform designs they come up with. Overall, the timing of the change and the rollout of it seems to have been really well planned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManiacAlum Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 It looks almost like a copy and pasted version of Creighton's updated Blue Jay and font lettering. Only with a more surprised-looking bird, for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenEagleFan17 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I like both the logo and font, & think the younger generation will really like it. May seem trivial, but these sort of things factor into recruiting. Athletes want to win obviously, but they also appreciate a university that's not stuck in the 80s or 90s. I have a son on the baseball team, and he really like the new logo, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTerry Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 I like the logo. It is fierce and not cartoonish. Eli served its purpose but it was time for a change. The font is a step up from the Word art lettering we had previously. It can always be tweaked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WingMaaaan Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 When do we see new unis? This year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUalum Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 they can tweak it as needed...(the bug eyed look, the font, the size proportion --- really BIG "ORU" versus small bird head) the main thing is thing is that we have officially moved on from Eli. my guess is they will do slight modifications in the future and add a head on view (as was mentioned above) in addition to the profile bird head.

vcboy2000 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Looks like Hampton Creative was responsible for the new design. I’m a fan of Johnny Hampton’s work and think the logo and font is a nice upgrade. Excited to get some new gear just in time for Christmas!
