Sun Belt rebranding
Benson mentioned at the App and GS press conference that it will happen soon. Cobb said on the DG show today that name may change to Sun something else.

Re: Sun Belt rebranding
Benson also mentioned "his" Twitter alias where mock-ups of the new logo could be viewed--but I didn't understand what he said and haven't been able to dig it out of the 'net. And ALGORE isn't available today to find it for us!Dmanuhone wrote:Benson mentioned at the App and GS press conference that it will happen soon.

Re: Sun Belt rebranding
The Commish announced last year that the re-branding would be effective July 1, 2013 as I recall. I think the Sun Belt re-branding will be along the lines of the MAC and PAC12 re-branding . . same name . . different logo.

Re: Sun Belt rebranding
That's what I got from his statement. I thought maybe I missed something about the name actually changing, but I was just thinking a logo update.manzanowolf wrote:The Commish announced last year that the re-branding would be effective July 1, 2013 as I recall.

Re: Sun Belt rebranding
Changing that logo is good. This one looks like something a fifth grader would draw for a solar system science project!

Re: Sun Belt rebranding
I think after visiting App, Benson decided to change the official colors of the SunBelt to Black and Gold!

Re: Sun Belt rebranding
If someone posted about this I missed it. Did anyone else catch where Benson mentioned visiting APP at an earlier date? So things had been going on behind the scences.

Re: Sun Belt rebranding
He said he visited a couple weeks before it was made official. Can't remember where I read it now but he talked about how Boone wasn't nearly as inaccessible as people made it out to be. Also talked about how short and nice the drive was from Charlotte compared to some others he has had to do visiting schools.
