SB Logo
« on: April 21, 2015, 09:18:46 pm »
i happen to really like the recently implemented SB logo- i think its classic and a step in the right direction- especially when compared to our older logos.

it goes hand in hand with the larger university branding- our updated colors, university name, newer crest, etc.

i dont agree with this article at all: http://seawolvesnation.kinja.com/the-interlocking-sb-has-got-to-go-1695357718

with that said, the interlocking SB that he proposes is pretty cool.  but i love our current logo.  keep it!

 I  kind of like our present logo.  Plenty of big schools use block letters  as  a logo  Villanova, Syracuse , Tennessee to name a few.   We can build a brand around that block SB .

Seems like scoobies are updating their Dane logo. They will get a straight on view of Dane.

Got me thinking. I like our SB block letters too. But may be time for a change for our Wolfie face? From side view to straight on front view? Kinda like UConn did to their husky.

Or would it be too similar to UConn?

I'd keep both logos for now and I'd retain the block SB logo only perhaps use it less. I like the current Wolfie logo. It works.

i've sounded off on this issue before but i really think we should just drop seawolves.  its often mispronounced, it's confusing, no one knows what it is, and it's bad for our brand.  this is a place to follow not lead.  just go back with baymen or patriots or warriors.  anytime someone that's not a fan uses the name, it's to mock the university.  just like what's a seawolf im a seawolf. 

anyway i think we should only use the interlocking SB.  it's classic.

I don't even know where to begin Chairman... I gotta say that's a hell no from me.

Maybe if you think of something really cool I'll get behind it, but I like Seawolves.

I agree. Whats a Seawolf, 'Im a Seawolf" is getting old and is weird. If They want to be taken seriously change the name to just, Wolf. Heck, whenever they have a new signee they use a picture of a Wolf from the Wild, not a mysterious Sea creacher, right?

Man.. can’t believe we were called the warriors... why change that! Would’ve loved that name.

 I wasn’t fond of the Seawolves name at the beginning. But now after almost two decades, I just can’t imagine another name. We are Seawolves now!

LOL. I've had more people in 10+ years tell me. "What the heck kind of noame is that for a team" . The name is rediculous and quite embarrassing. I would absolutely vote to have it modified. The "Stony brook Wolves" sounds much more appealing for a college team then Seawolf.

“Wolves” may flow better but the idea behind Seawolves was to capitalize on the university’s proximity to the ocean. A lot of people (athletes, students, faculty) like the beach.

I really like the new UA logo. Looks quite serious and intimidating. Apparently, over 460 people on Twitter like it also.
