UH Getting New Logo: Our Five Suggestions (UPDATED With New Logo)

By Richard Connelly Tue., Apr. 10 2012 at 6:00 AM

The "old" UH logo

Later this morning the University of Houston will be announcing what it's calling its "new logo and marks."

The old "logo and marks" weren't exactly worn out from use, but we guess an update was needed.

UH, of course, is trying to pump life into its football program as they begin construction on a new stadium. But let's face it, the Coogs aren't really thought of as anything approaching a football powerhouse, even on the second level.

So we think the Coogs' new logo should draft off the heat of some more storied football schools. Maybe that'll help things along.

5. Notre Dame
The Fightin' Cougars!! Maybe the mojo will help either of these teams get to a BCS bowl.

4. Alabama
Sure, Cougar Red is not exactly "crimson." But it's crimson-esque.

3. Ole Miss
You gotta admit, it's a smooth fit. We're not sure this day and age is the proper time to introduce a Southern-plantation icon of the Confederacy as your school symbol, but you never know until you've tried.

You are a joke. What a waste of an article. Not even funny. So UH is not even on the second level?? Why don't you back to your community college hater. What has Notre Dame done the past 3 years idiot?...

I don't disagree, but who is a football powerhouse "on the second level?"

Rich Connelly

I meant "second level" in terms of name recognition. So someone like Boise State, which has had good teams lately but is a program a casual fan doesn't give much thought to.
