There was a post this week from the Athletics dept about some award ceremony that was taking place in the Patriot Center and it looked like the dopey GM was painted center court. It was a dark video in an IG story so I didn't get a great look at it, but I think they're gonna make us stare at that IHOP doodle for a long while.

Based on the available options, give me a giant lemon-lime Patriot head at midcourt. If we’re gonna be ludicrous, may as well lean all the way into it.

Too bad we don’t have the guts to emulate vcu and put a clause in every coach’s contract that if they leave Mason? They gotta bring their new team to Fairfax. Thus we gotta settle for the NJITs and Coppin States…. A home game against Providence would’ve been epic. To some of the more influential/big money donors on here: why can’t we pull that clause off?
Bc our logo is open on all ends, inclusive, alltogether different and we wouldn't wanna step on any toes, pussy a** mentality.

I thought it was projected, but, I could easily be wrong.

Of all the choices, I'd choose to put no logo on the floor. If I were in charge of the athletics department, whom this logo was forced upon with little to no input from them, I would stay away from the logo as much as possible. I would focus on the George Mason word marks and hope that at some point down the road, athletics would be allowed to have their own logo again (like most other universities as far as I can tell).

I haven't seen anyone discuss the change to the colors. The change to the green doesn't bother me, but, the change to the gold does. It isn't gold anymore, it is neon yellow now. I understand that it pops a little more, but it is a pretty hideous color to wear. The gold-ness gave it a little bit of class to wear as a color. Neon yellow is not a color that can be easily worn on it's own.

Serious question... can the Patiot Nation Collective now use the old logo since it's no longer in use by the University? If so lets get the shop rolling with old logo branded adidas gear and lets put some money in our player's pockets.
Unfortunately not. We just finished going through the process of becoming an official licensed partner so we can sell Mason branded gear (like shirts/jersys with Mason and player name) which was a frequent request from both fans and players. Part of that agreement requires us to follow the brand guidelines (even if the school itself doesn't follow them).

Does that mean urinal cakes may become a reality?!

Thanks for the info. At least with the new logo, ugly or not, official logo gear will sell better than what is currently avaialble for the collective.

My problem, on top of the logo being awful, is what it stands for.
I won't wear it either.

I mean, Mason has advertised itself as one of the most diverse colleges in the U.S. for awhile and they had to go away from “where innovation is tradition” since ASU has a monopoly on the innovation front (and believe me #1 in Innovation has been a damn good marketing campaign for ASU).

I also have no problem with the whole inclusion language. It’s also in ASU’s charter (we are defined not by whom we exclude but by whom we include). I just wish George Mason wouldn’t follow suit by defining inclusion through massive enrollment numbers.

But this is also probably straying into politics a little too much.
