Also Ohio, Tulsa, and Pitt. All of the above are very short words, though, so the name as a logo kinda works for them (for instance, you can still see WTF it is from more than 20 feet away). When even the abbreviated name of your school is still 2 words & 12 letters...ehhh, not so much.
you got me there.....I wholeheartedly agree with your points.....
"seeing is believing" comes to mind....

RE: Gold version of our Russell jerseys
Yes, NG, a handful of other schools have done it (even Tulane for a couple of years), but all but the aforementioned 4 decided it was dumb and moved on.
I'm not totally opposed to the word mark. Put it in the end zone. Put it on the front of the jersey above the number. Just don't put it on the dadgum helmet. It looks D3, and you can't even read it anyway from the near hash to the 1st row. We may as well just have a gold (and at times also white) blob as the decal for as well as a person can make it out 3/4ths of the time, even on TV.

You realize that Tweet was from 2014, right?
I'm not totally opposed to a gold alternate helmet, but yeesh, with the colors reversed, the wordmark looks even more like a high school art student made it on his way to class.

I agree...I'd like to see an alternate helmet or two....I'll see what I can do...I'll speak with Gilbert about these things.

I always liked the Gold top Black bottoms with Fedora. I may have always used those on NCAA 09.

Jerseys look fine. Please, dear lord, do not bring these "gold" helmets back.

...I heard through the TTT Club they have a funky two toned helmet they want to introduce as an alternate.....a first of it's kind with one side black and the other yellow...I'm sure there will be all sorts of bitchin about it if and when they adopt it.
