Big 12 Rebrand thoughts.

[RezClone]

Seems like there's a huge opportunity for one conference in particular to give 'expansion' and 'Big 10' a whole new meaning in the minds of consumers.

Nobody's using "New Coke."
At least we could try "Crystal Pepsi."

Continental Conference, aka The Con.

BIG Fing XII,

(deep movie announcer voice): THE BIG TWELVE. NOW EVEN MORE BIGGER WITH SIXTEEN.

Seriously, you could keep the Big12 name, but make the roman numerals into XVI instead of XII. That seems like an easy thing to do - can even keep the curvy effect.

There. Better fonts and colors can be chosen, but this is what I kind of expect wrt the roman numerals.

I would keep the XII roman numerals but maybe have a V in the background.

More importantly we should keep the Big 12 name. Any other name will sound too much like one of the G5 conferences.

Nah. With Yormark, needs a Jay-Z spin. They should blast "Encore" in there first rebranding commercial.

When I look at that map, it's pretty obvious the Big 10 is still missing about 2/3 of the country.

There are now just 3 major conferences that pretty much cover the entire US: Big 10, Big 12 and SEC. The ACC has small slices in MA, VA and NC.

I'm not sure whether to be impressed with the creativity or the fact the creativity led to drawing _____?!

Cheers regardless LOL (I think...)

The ACC stretches from Miami to Boston and dominates the Carolinas. Not exactly 'small slices'.

I have to

 

[CyCrazy]

Just call it the "F*ck You conference".

 

[Cy4All]

Just call it the "F*ck You conference".

So would that be the FUC or FYC

 

[werdnamanhill]

The BIG Conference of Champions, or BIG COC for short

I was thinking about land among the P4 conferences that's exclusive to the ACC. They've just got MA, VA and NC. On the other hand, the B12 now has Utah, AZ, CO, KS and WV.

From what I’ve heard is that the “rebrand” is just making the current logo black and white. A way to show moving away from Oklahoma and Texas.

Ah, using Iowa State colors, wise

 

[Al_4_State]

If the Big 10 doesn't change to reflect the amount of members, we shouldn't either.

Any "name" is going to seem forced and minor league. The only non-numerical name that would have ever worked for this league was the Great Plains Conference, and now that we have schools in the Appalachians, Rockies, Sonoran desert, and Florida swamps, it really doesn't make sense either.

 

[KidSilverhair]

That’s the best suggestion so far. You may be on to something there. But I’d recommend going with the “National Athletic Conference.”

“The National” or “N.A.C.” for short.

My, my, my, I, yi, woo!
Mah mah mah Mega Conference...
