[Husker] New secondary logo (replacing the script "Huskers" over the block N)

[Mike Jaixen]

I've found a subset of fans who don't like the script Huskers.  Don't understand it, but fine.

The new one looks more like the Mississippi State logo than anything, though...and frankly, both look like something a 7th grader did.  Pretty amateurish IMHO.  Especially the logo which looks like someone used Microsoft Paint to put an N on a cartoon helmet.  The N isn't even to scale.

But it's not as bad as the pajamas that somebody designed for the Wisconsin game.

This is a marketing failure that rivals a New Coke promotion for the movie
Ishtar, purchased with a Susan B. Anthony dollar coin, and served on the
Concorde by interns who rode to the airport in a DeLorean.  8^)  Seriously,
Nebraska people in a position to know better - What. The. Hell?  Just
because we got beaten like a rented mule by Ohio State is no reason to
steal their logo concept (

Oh, and because there's a game tomorrow, Nebraska 45 Minnesota 17.
