        Last call for the Coaches Caravan stop in Boston, where among other things, the new logos and marks are supposed to be unveiled. Well worth the time and effort if you're in the area.

          Not feeling your new logos. The old “N” was pretty recognizable.

            New primary logo on a hockey jersey: https://***********/NUHockeyBlog/sta...10727344766977

            Here's a tweet with back and front pictures, with some commentary from former NU and BC SID Mark Majewski: https://***********/markmajewski/sta...33519528292352

            My take: I don't think it's a home run, but I think it's a solid singe/double. I think this logo offers consistency across multiple sports and platforms, as well as use from a marketing perspective. I think this logo, while it's meh and bland right now, can offer some stability and longevity to what we use to ID northeastern athletics. How many primary logos have we seen on hockey sweaters since 2001? Five? More? This logo has a chance to provide consistency for the long-term, IMO. That's how you build a brand. It's simple. So is BU and BC's, which they've had for decades.

            I would prefer them go simple and safe now than attempt a flash in the pan trying to hit a home run, because once that SHOCK VALUE wears off, it's not a great production. Example A: Devil Husky, a production from the 80s, and how it looks and is thought of today. Which is, a lot of hockey die-hards like it/love it, but a lot of casual fans and non-hockey fans hate/don't like it. I like that it isn't going away forever, as it is staying on as a retro, third-uniform style of logo, per Konya. So that is great.

            I wish they kept the red in the eyes for depth and accenting, and maybe a red outline around the Husky head itself. But the details and the style of the logo, I think are just fine.

                        Meh. Color me underwhelmed. The apparent de-emphasizing of red makes us look too much like Providence, IMO. (Not a knock on PC.) And don't expect me to change my screen name to Skinny-N.

                          What was the matter with the jerseys NU had in the Eighties? You certainly had some good teams in those.

                            My understanding is that they're keeping the "Classic Reds" they wore in the '80s, at the Fenway games, and in 2016 HEA championship game as a special occasion throwback. But you ask a very good question.

                                Not a fan of most shoulder yokes and that is a particularly bad one. I really liked the jerseys we've worn the past 8 or 9 years. They were starting become recognizible by the casual fans of the college hockey world. There wasn't a real reason to overhaul them. If Konya leaves in 5 years (which wouldn't really be that shocking), do we do this all over again?

                                Also, are we actually going to get a new center ice logo? I think it's been the same "N" since I was a freshman 12 years ago
