[NU Sports] Use of N-cat logo on team uniforms

[Jim Bendat]

I went to Northwestern's baseball game in L.A. on Sunday.  We made seven 
errors and fell behind, 10-1.  To the team's credit, we never gave up, 
scored five in the 9th, only to fall short by a final score of 11-8. 
 Okay, it's baseball.  We've never been too good in baseball.  Yet, the 
parents in the stands believe that the team is on the cusp of moving to 
a new level.  I hope they're right.

But that's not why I'm writing.  I saw NU's baseball uniforms, which 
were rather traditional (except for the caps which had some sort of 
Wildcat on it -- no N, no logo).  The jerseys simply said "Northwestern" 
on the front and had numbers on the back.  Nothing at all on the side of 
either sleeve.  It seems to me that the N-cat logo should have been 
there on one of the sleeves.

Our N-cat logo is one of the best in all of college sports.  We have it 
on the middle of our basketball floor, but it is not on our basketball 
uniforms.  It seems to me that it should be on both sides of our team's 
basketball shorts.  Our logo is nowhere to be seen on the field of play 
at Ryan.  It can be spotted on the elevated part of the grass near the 
Wildcat statue, but it would look a lot better in the middle of the 
field.  The logo is on the sleeves of our football jerseys (although 
it's way too small), but it seems to me that it should be on both sides 
of our football team's helmets.

In short, our logo should be everywhere.  It's recognizable, and it is 
extremely cool.  Our football helmets right now are very boring. 
 Utilizing a great logo to a greater degree can only help with marketing 
and recruiting as well.

Anyone agree or disagree?
