With the recent rebranding of the University (Fueling Tomorrows), I really do hope they have a plan for the Rocket brand in the near future.
The brand that we currently have is laughable. The amount of different uniforms and fonts that are used by the athletic department is alarming. I thought signing a multi year contract with Nike would help. I was wrong. Apparently Nike could care less that the uniforms are all over the place and look incredibly generic...I'm talking high school generic.
The best uniforms I have seen to date that look and fell like the Rocket brand are the track and field uniforms.... Don't get me started with the new football uniforms... we decided to scratch the rocket logo and add Toledo to the front in what appears to be Arial font...
This needs to be a priority...even trying to purchase UT Nike gear is hard. The bookstore and Rocky's Locker have extremely generic gear that looks like the type of clothing you make for a youth sports team.
The end goal should be UT officials, athletes and Nike sitting down and coming up with a new brand. One that speaks UT and honors our traditions and future. It should be consistent throughout all athletic teams and be easily recognizable for people outside of the Toledo area.
What would you like to see? Anything is better than the current situation.
