zoogs Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Yes. For all the talk of it not being geographical, throw up a map of the states (as miami did in a previous thread) and it's pretty strikingly not randomly distributed across the map. Ah, here's a map, from HI. Non geographic split? C'mon, Big Ten guys...did you even look at the map first?! Nope. Not geographical at all. No logical North/South OR East/West split there. You can call it North/South, or Northwest/Southeast, or a number of other semi-geographical (but not cardinal direction) names that have come up. Aside from one outlier, all the blue dots are in one group and all the red dots are in another group. There isn't much of a jumble and no reason IMO not to call it North/South. Leaders and Legends are great slogans, though. Same applies to a lot of other suggestions; I just think it's hard to practically use 'creative' division names such as catchphrases, motivational words, or homages to people/ideas. There is just no natural split there. On another note, while I dig the new Big 10 logo a lot, here's an alternative that looks pretty sweet: 1 Quote Link to comment

74Hunter Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I like Great Plains and Great Lakes, or just Plains and Lakes, something like that. Otherwise, a Northwest/Southeast looks fine, too. Quote Link to comment
Husker-Joe Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 They need to go with the regions, Midwestern and Mid-Atlantic. Yes. For all the talk of it not being geographical, throw up a map of the states (as miami did in a previous thread) and it's pretty strikingly not randomly distributed across the map. Ah, here's a map, from HI. Non geographic split? C'mon, Big Ten guys...did you even look at the map first?! Northwest and Southeast Divisions. A conference with 12 teams being called the Big 10 should have no problem with one team (Wisconsin) being out of place. 3 Quote Link to comment

Real Monsters or Pete & Pete Ren & Stimpy or Rocko's Modern Life & Rugrats THIS is why we ended up with Legends and Leaders. I imagine the Big10 meetings discussing the options would similar in dialog. Quote Link to comment

Notice the 12 little "stars" at the top of the shield. I think this is an excellent way to allude to 12 teams. 1 Quote Link to comment

I would think the 12 logos would be left off most of the time. Pretty hard to paint on the fields and courts. Quote Link to comment
