until September 12. I actually really liked the new (yet old) field design on A-Day. While Nike has helped establish the block letters as an official font, there is nothing wrong with blending the old and new. While we have the “angry elephant” created in 1999, they still sell (some) merchandise with the old elephant coming through the A. And while the majority of Nike stuff uses the block letters, I have several Nike t-shirts that I purchased last year that use a font very similar to the slanted letters of the old endzone.

Personally, I think us keeping some of our older fonts, logos, etc., sets us apart from all the other teams who pay Nike or whoever else to brand them with all “updated” stuff. After all, there is a reason we don’t have uniforms that look like this.
