With all of the letters inside the circle, it will make a better ballmark / poker chip

The fact than anyone made over $50 for that "rebrand" is proof I went into the wrong career... More plain, more letters, less color... totally unimaginative.
IMHO "The" SoCon Commish not off to a good start. Not only the probable thousands it cost for that agency, now theres the cost of Web design, logo changes in fields and courts. And that color on a field will not stand out at all.

Silly, under whelming change

How y’all like this one? It’s the newest FCS Conference’s logo…

Their tagline is, “We love to ball, and it shows.”

Love it! Add "The" and it would be perfect. So many marketing angles... patriotic, airlines, shoe endorsements, religious, etc. A masterpiece

Couldn't the new logo have included a quote like"
“Established 1921 - WE Knew Realignment Before Realignment Was Cool!"
Or maybe just "We Know Realignment"
Or “Experienced in Realignments”

I imagine all of that is taken into consideration.

Most of the SoCon logos on the conference football fields are in the school colors (Furman's is outlined in purple, Mercer's in orange, etc.) The change is not so drastic that I think those schools will probably not even need to modify those.

That's what I thought too.
Or maybe an insurance company.

It's a tiny and ultimately minor improvement.

In my experience, this is the most you can ever expect from the Southern Conference.

I sort of like the idea of branding the conference as the Southern Conference.

In a new era where conferences no longer remotely resemble the historic or geographical connection to the past, having the conference position itself as exactly that is a bit refreshing.

Besides, I'm not sure any of us can predict what college football is going to look like in 10 years. The Southern Conference is one of the few brands where you actually understand what you are getting.

You should tell the SoCon peeps in Spartanburg to stop using it as the ProPic on Twitter / X and Instagram then.

Facebook doesn’t have the red circle on the ProPic there.

Meanwhile, the SoCon sits back and does nothing.

One might argue the SoCon is in the best situation of all of the conferences. Tight geographically. The schools all seem pretty committed to the cause.

Having that many teams makes more sense if you have a championship game. FCS teams do not.
