End of the block C?

I love that

 

[ZooCougar]

I like the way the scoreboard looks when we score lots of touchdowns. Even if the helmets are teal.

 

[RioDog]

I love that

Agreed. That's actually very cool.

Would love to see a killer chrome helmet like Oregon used to do

I forgot how much I loved these chrome alternates:

If you were going to do call of the wild, this is the way to do it.

The chrome is nice as a special alternative. I would like the idea of using it once a year for a significant game but believe it wouldn't work if we used it too often.

My view of the blue helmets with the block C is the one redeeming quality is they are a reminder of when we were at our best. My preference here would be a once every few years throwback.

What I would like the best (again, only one person's opinion) would be for our primary helmet to be a white with the block C, but the block C a bit smaller (80%-85% the current size) and a single blue stripe. Maybe one or two games a year use the husky logo instead of the C.

There has always been something about a clean, crisp look, without too much noise that gives the impression of being more together, more developed, more organized and professional than what wild color schemes presents.

Looked nice, but needs less red and more blue.

Wouldn’t mind it on a blue helmet with the white on the logo in chrome

 

[HuskyDogArt]

Nah, prefer blue. The white on white on white has a very Washington Generals feel to it.

The last few years, we have been playing like the Washington Generals . Hope next year we can play like a top 90 team...

That would be a HELL of a helmet in a bowl game...

Perhaps on a blue helmet.

I think this current combo is fine - no need to change just because the coach will change. We had our highest points of success with the Block C and the Husky dog is a simple alternate. Both do the job. They will look a lot better to people once we start winning again.

The white helmets just look way better.. plain and simple.. not even close...

 

[BigEastCT]

Not that my opinion matters but more I think about it I want the Block C to come to an end. New Era time to roll with the new logo. However if we play a old big east foe I would be open to a throw back unis for both teams on the field

Noticed in the pic above we have the white husky dog helmet in the background versus the block C

Not for nuthin but why is this pic taken in front of a UConn Basketball sign. I mean. Cmon man!

I remember the lecterns in the larger halls had this helmet logo etched into the front of them in the late 90s. Also, I know it's mostly a relic from a bygone era, but the NCAA Football PlayStation II game from 2002 or 2003 issued helmet stickers. Caulley's helmet was half white by the time I played NC State in a bowl game from the number of dog bones on the back.

Two things....

1) I love that this is our "Aeropostale jersey days". God that was a joke that they even made jerseys, let alone we wore them as game day ones.

2) I was the same way with my UConn helmets and the dog bones. I thought it was awesome and always wished UConn did that when I played NCAA whatever year it was.

This is my favorite UConn helmet variation (Yes I know the red U is a point of contention for many but I really liked the use of it)

First, check out this link.
UConn helmet history

Second, the dirty little secret of the “block C” is that it is the last remaining remnant of the Aeropostal uniforms

So when people pain away for the “traditional” of the block C, there really pining away for the days when Aeropostal made our uniforms.

The venn diagram of people who like the block C and people who still think the Aeropostale uniforms look “sharp” is very likely just a circle.

The single worst design in the history of helmet design. And yes, I have seen Maryland’s.

I have always preferred the white helmets. I like the block C. As someone else said clean and professional looking. And has represented UConn for its entire fbs time

Actually, the Block C is on every current UConn uniform. The UCONN wordmark uses the exact same font. The "C" in UCONN is the very same block C. One you see it you can't unsee it.

Yep, but it lacks the outlining and spacing that football uses.

Yeah it’s so nice let’s save it for a special game. Maybe the conference championship

State Motto literally means hit the transfer portal hard and good things will happen… I like it.

Late to the game moe

I've noticed the Mora era is really extensively using the Husky eyes in their promotional/recruitment announcement materials, so I'm wondering if it might be a theme of the team going forward. We've tried this design before with mixed results; I figured I'd give it another shot and tried my hand at a redesign

I don't think the Husky eyes thing is a bad thing in principle, but the "Husky Head Stripe" where it's encompassed within a straight line that runs front to back looks kind of weird. The better road would have been using the white of the Husky face surrounded by blue as a natural cutoff. Leaning into this concept I also tried to mix in "Husky eye blue" as an alternate color. I've always been partial to powder blues, but this actually works with the logo color scheme as it currently exists (within the eyes).

I'm not a graphic designer so the fidelity/quality of some of these edits may not be the best - just trying to expose the concept.
