zow2 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 UB unveiled it's new athletics logo today. Of course it's a Buffalo ....charging over the word BUFFALO. A rather mean and surly looking thing that includes a full body, legs and tail (Sabres fans might like that aspect!) The link is below and for comparison the old bull head logo can be seen on the same page in a promo to the bottom right. http://www.ubathletics.buffalo.edu/football/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big difference. Even UB knows that your team's nickname should be the primary logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlegm Alley Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Kinda reminds me of the Schlitz Malt Liqor bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gross Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Somehow it doesn't seem quite as menacing when used as a bouncing ball... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The link is below and for comparison the old bull head logo can be seen on the same page in a promo to the bottom right. http://www.ubathletics.buffalo.edu/football/ 724788[/snapback] It looks similar to the logo used when I attended UB in the late 70's-early 80's. That was during UB's return to Div III football back then. The logo then was a bit less "cartoon-ish", and looked something the Schlitz Malt Liquor bull referenced in another post. If I recall, there was some limited advertising tie on the campus then, something like"Don't say beer, Say Bull - UB Football" (Yay!) The logo was also hanging by the entrance in The Aud, along with Canisius, Buff States, and NU's, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinandjokin Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 What was wrong with the old logo? 724885[/snapback] The old logo entered an in-patient program for alcoholism rehab. You know there's nothing to do in Buffalo besides drink... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 What was wrong with the old logo? 724885[/snapback] The old logo won like 8 games in 8 years or something?!?!? Any new regime would want to make some cosmetic changes to get away from the losing mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dib Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 an intrasquad game that ended up 65-53? So how many baskets were three pointers? Nice logo, reminds me of that malt beverage logo...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spun Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 A buffalo/bison logo like the Kansas state quarter would be nice for the Sabres or the Bulls. While the logo design of the buffalo/bison is standing still, it doesn't lose it's majesty with the unnecessary, artsy, fartsy effect... http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/50sq_p...sh=yes&state=ks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
