Anyone else think the Gators could use a logo refresh?

While the current logo is okay, I was never that impressed with it, even when it came out 20 years ago or so. I think it's looking dated and could probably be given a sleeker look.

Anyone else agree or am I alone on this?

Discuss.

It's my opinion, based on experience, that the more we update/change things, the worse they get. So while I agree that it could probably use some upgrades, I'm quite certain we'd screw it up.

That is my question. What logo? If we are talking about the "Gators" script that is BNAs avatar, then HELL TO THE NO!!!

The gators script, and it being on our helmets is AWESOME. I also love the gator head, think its timeless, classic and yet modern looking.

I like the old, and the relatively new. No need to change. :proud:

never liked the Gator in the turtleneck sweater and the current logo has become easy to see and spot. Would not change it.

I'm fine with the current script on the helmets and the Gator head. Maybe it's just me, but when I think of logo changes, the new F$U Indian head comes to mind. I wouldn't want to risk a screw up like that. The thing makes me think of what Jim Nabors' expression was probably like the first time he saw Rock Hudson naked. Fitting.

I think we should try some new branding but keep the script.

Personally I think we should include it in alternate uni's....

Not the script, you dummies. I like the helmets they way they are. I'm talking about the Gator head logo.

I think the the head logo in Bart's post looks 100x better than what you ever see. A lot of that has to do with the color and shading in his logo which is never seen in any marketing.

I think the typical head logo looks a little soft, even cartoonish. I think it could look meaner and I'd LOVE to see the head logo used on the helmet. Both sides at the same time.

I was at UF during the last change. I love the old logo and we were pretty nervous what was going to come out of it all. It ended well that time.
