Was not much more than a 30 second filler feature about how Seth could fall through the cracks...but still...good press.

It was a minute and 23 seconds. I have seen the Liberty logo on ESPN more in the last 2 months than in the previous 20 years.

"a" Liberty logo. Because "the" Liberty logo has only been around for 6 years or so :wink:

I have seen what I thought might be a Liberty logo on ESPN. When our logo is that small it's hard for me to tell what it is. Could just be that my kid stuck some stickers on the TV. Hard to tell. :wink:

I was actually having a talk with a co-worker about this yesterday. They need to replace that angry seagull and do something to brand themselves better for athletics, like using the LU or something. Its hard to recognize from the flaming eagle head.

you can't just keep changing logos. It's awful for marketing. The problem is ESPN is treating just the eagle itself and the Liberty script as the logo and slapping it in their white rectangle. The white background needs to be part of the logo, like you see on the football field. Take that whole thing and put it in a blue rectangle and it will look great. ESPN isn't the only one that does it. I think even FTN messes it up. Or at least they used to.

Oh, I wasn't blaming anyone. I have a hat that has the angry eagle, rolling up his sleeves. It's kinda hard to recognize what school that is if you do not know our mascot is an eagle.

like look at our team page. They're totally doing it wrong

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/clubhouse?teamId=2335

The script letters are the same color as the background they're using. I'm not sure what's worse, their use of our logo, or the fact that yahoo sports has never even gotten the logo. It's been at least 6 years now and they're still using this thing

Yeah, with that blue background, they need to put the logo in a white box. It looks fine where they have it by last nights score on the right.
