Big Ten Division Names and Logo Released

[huskerjack23]

It should be "Legends" and "Icons"

[kyle sibert]

leaders and legends is about as good and Swift and Bieber

[omahaustin]

If they were looking for alliteration, Legend and Legacy (or Legends and Legacies) would have worked better, too.

[Fuzzy]

I don't understand why the "I" looks like a "1".

The logo is a block ''Big Ten'' which includes an homage to the original 10 members with those numerals embedded in the last two letters of the word Big.

I like the awards. I'm voting for Bo to take the Hayes-Schembechler Coach of the Year award next season.

[kyle sibert]

Why didn't they pick Hayes-Schembechler as the Championship trophy and Osborne-Paterno as the Coach of the Year?

I hope we don't see too much of these "selective" homages. I knew we're the new guy - but I wonder how many things we're going to get screwed out of because we're not part of the original 10? It would be nice if it doesn't take 15 years before people quit talking about the original big 10.

Legends & Leaders

 

 

Never been a fan of naming everything.

 

But I would've liked "US" and "THEM" and let us fight it out each year which was which.

[MGoBlue1976]

This sucks. Way to drop the ball Big "Ten"!

 

The logo sucks. The division names are stupid. The trophies are a disappointment. Why the dual names? Cheapens it.

I know that after coming from a conference that catered to its southern teams, this kind of sentiment is going to be hard to let go of, but the Big 10 has not behaved this way at all. Ohio State and Michigan dominate this conference for decades, then they bring in Penn State and to the best of my knowledge PSU has rarely if ever complained that they're not being treated as an equal. Same goes for schools like Northwestern and Indiana, which have very little to offer athletically, yet have equal footing at the discussion table when issues affect the conference.

 

The Big 12 was corrupt and biased and interested in molly-coddling one or two teams. The Big 10 has no such issues.

True, but like anyone who's been in a mentally/physically abusive relationship, you're always waiting for your new relationship to take the same turn.

 

So I guess that makes us damaged goods.

Sad, isn't it? I don't think there's a single caring Husker fan who isn't damaged by the goings-on of the past few months. It's been ugly, and it'll take time to get over it all. But we'll get there.
