Breaking News!!! MSU Reveals New Logo Which Looks Exactly Like The Old One
April showers bring May flowers ... and apparently a new logo for Michigan State University. The classic Spartans gladiator helmet will get a makeover this spring, according to Heather Swain, Assistant Vice President for University Relations, and the school will make an official announcement in April. Swain confirmed that she wrote the memo, but would not go into detail about the new logo, including whether the change would entail a switch from the school's color scheme of green and white. "There will be a variety of different elements," Swain said. "I'm sure they'll be released in April. "It will be a comprehensive package for the athletic department." The logo redesign is "the result of a two-year collaboration between MSU Athletics and a team of top designers from Nike."

A bunch of people have their balls all in a twist about this new logo and I just don't get it. Besides the fact that it is just a "300" makeover of their current logo, I actually think it looks a bit more fierce and menacing. It is essentially the exact same thing the lions did with their logo and it skyrocketed our winning percentage from .000 to a respectable .135 which, all in all, is more effective than drafting a wideout in the top ten.
But for my money I'll take the classic spartan S logo. Shit is official, down to business and carries a certain solidness that screams don't fuck with us. But I kinda get what people are saying. They are worried that this is just the beginning and with the brainchilds over at Nike running the show it's only a matter of time before Sparty takes the field in green and white camo uniforms. The real wild card is that MSU has indicated that their may be a change to the color scheme which means black is on it's way in and it's only a matter of time before they start resembling the lions during Big Mike Williams' tenure.
So what do you think? Will this logo change spark a .135 boost in winning percentage or are the Spartans taking the field in green tutus with pink trim?
