And they're pretty crappy: Legends and Leaders, per Jim Delany. Also, the logo is a noticeable step down from the old one:
 |
By the way, in case the picture above didn't make it clear, we're Legends from now on... and Followers, I suppose, logically-speaking. MGoBlog has proposed not using these names at all and just sticking with East and West, which I imagine most people would support. But Legends and Leaders, really? Can't we do better than that? And that hideous teal definitely not teal logo? Feel free to propose your best division names/logo ideas in the comments.

The last two weeks are testing my interest in Big Ten football.
I guess the good news is that the logo isn’t pink, and the two divisions are not named “Oh Well” and “You too?”. Maybe the marketing department at the Big Ten is on DJK’s hard drive. Maybe I should just go back to reading Bulgakov, if what I want is a daily dose of the absurd.
We play tackle football, most of the time.
Dear Mods: that's not teal...
THIS is teal:

I should have known the Big Teal industry would come after me. I’ll correct it, but what is the color of the logo? Aqua? Turquoise? Sky blue?

I've always like how some conferences
use team-specific colors on the field for the conference logos.
You're asking for good alternatives?
This is the internet. Good only for tearing things down, not creating useful alternatives.

They didn't bother with the 2 since we all know they are aiming for 16 teams....
look at the ‘G’….ready made for a 6
The division names are awful, and the logo is just as bad.
Seriously, it looks like it was designed by a 7th grader on MS Paint. I understand that they want to protect the brand, but this is just…..fucking stupid. it’s a miserable failure on the highest order. It’s New Coke and Pepsi Clear.
I actually think...
that the new logo is much better in the vertical form than in the horizontal one I saw earlier. Neither is an improvement over the old logo, though.
For division names, you’d have to have divisions that made sense. We don’t.
I once enjoyed the idea of a rust-belt division (PSU, OSU, Michigan, MSU, Indiana, Purdue) and a cornbelt division (Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisky, jNW, Illinois).
For these current divisions, I’d prefer “pride” and “glory” over leaders and legends. But that’s out, because it makes us think of this:
I've sentenced boys younger than you to the gas chamber. Didn't want to do it. I felt I owed it to them.

We're a twelve team Big Ten conference...
why do our division names have to make sense? I say if we’re Ten but twelve at the same time, why can’t we just have East and West?

So if at the end of the the next regular season,
if we lead the legends division, do we switch to the leaders division?
u can lead the legends, u can be a legend with the leaders
but can u be a legendary leader? Can u win the Big Ten if your the 12th team? Im confused

Correct me if I am wrong
If the intent was to put 10 into the word big
Is the bottom of the logo even necessary?
I think the logo would be better without it.
BACON
I also think we should refer to them as WEST and EAST.
The logo is nothing special, but its not a deal breaker.
Legends and Leaders though is so horrible it makes wonder if Jim Delaney has lost his marbles.
East and West are fine by me
But the only justifiable way I can see them keeping the Big 10 name is if they do something like this:
But then we’d probably have to keep score in base-12, which would get confusing.

This is really really really good.
My vote is for this logo with the hidden XII Roman Numeral thingy and the divisions to be named “Lakes” and “Plains”. Too bad I don’t have a vote.
How hard was that?
I was going to spend about 5 minutes on MSPaint to show a 12 could be incorporated into the logo (1 between the I and G and 2 between the G and T), but this works at least as well.
The whole thing seems thrown together. They’d have been better off sticking with the X’s and O’s division names they used when they announced adding Nebraska.

I'm trying to figure out how they could have done worse.
The logo is a piece of shit which avoids being a total failure only because it’s at least not some abstract garbage that is completely unrecognizable. The division split breaks up half of the existing permanent rivalries and introduces a possible final-week rematch in the title game, all in the name of preserving the one thing that is guaranteed to shift over time. And now this.

they really really REALLY should have done a fan poll before releasing this
this seems like the kind of thing where a fan poll would have done wonders for the choices. because no way do big 10 fans pick Legends and Leaders or this baby logo.

In fact, right before the commercial break, after which Delaney spewed legends and leaders, the BTN showed the new B1G logo, which had a BLACK B and a BLUE 1G. My thougt at that moment? “Outstanding, they went with Black & Blue!”
Legends and Leaders is utter failure. The Big Ten is and always will be the black & blue. Use our real tradition, not our hyper-sensitive presidents’ wish-list.

bad enough the color is powder blue but when we have an absolute winner logo that nattybumppo did it needs to be put out there.
somebody please send this logo to the big ten. this wipes that little creative yet somewhat (out) numbered pac ten logo to the wayside

Well, it makes sense to name these divisions after characters in a play about a guy
who is always in search of more certain knowledge about what he is doing (ala Delany’s delay on this whole question). Not to mention that the questions posed in the play about reality and perception…
"I wish you luck with a capital 'F'" - The Real Elvis.
The addition of Nebraska was a masterstroke.
All of the rumormongering, forcing other teams and conferences to scramble to add teams, the conjecture around the total collapse of two BCS conferences (the Big XII and Big East), the repeated spotlight on whether Notre Dame can remain independent with a weak NBC contract and a relatively irrelevant football program, it was all brilliant. Then, to add Nebraska ONLY, which is a perfect fit in football, geography, revenue and national allure, it was the perfect result for the conference.
Everything since then has been a clusterfuck. The way the divisions were aligned, the announcement of the title game in Indianapolis, selling the broadcast rights to the game to Fox Sports, the names of the divisions, the logo…practically everything that Delaney has done since the announcement of Nebraska has been a mess. It’s like there are two different commissioners responsible for each part of this. It’s amazing.
