Big Ten Logo/Division Names revealed at noon on BTN

Sweet Dude!

Gracias.

Maize and Blue

I hope we are in the super fly div.

new logo leak

But "Rotel" and "Velveeta" divisions would make the Big Ten Championship game the Queso Bowl

My favorite suggestion for division names:

"Why isn't Wisconsin in this division Division"

"Why is Wisconsin in this division Division"

• The "why isn't Wisconsin in this division" Division
• The "why is Wisconsin in this division" Division

for the Meat division vs. the Grain division.  We're the Grain division.  Mmmm... grain.

stream?

I personally prefer the Charles Woodson division and the Tom Brady division.

Division A and Division not A?

Here's a guess that at least makes sense, if not actually a good idea

Paul Bunyan division (Michigan, MSU, & Minnesota, ...)

Johnny Appleseed division (OSU, Indiana, ...)

Rust and Belt

Anyone have a picture of the original Big 10 logo?

Perhaps the two biggest names in B10ish football history.  

3 yards division

Cloud of Dust division

I'm thinking its going to be something generic like Atlantic/Coastal

Great Lakes/Midwest??

Will these divisions carry over into basketball as well like SEC or will we go like ACC with no divisions? 

Division 1 and Division A.  Everyone is a winner!

The divisions will be the:

JIM Division

and

DELANEY Division

Manly Beef Package Power Football Division (MBPPF, the sound you make after eating cheese curds and beer)

and

Gimmicky Undersized Player Spread Division (GUPS, or the Guppy Div.)

Please let them be something reasonably not-mockable.  I remember some guy seriously suggesting the "Sportsmanship" and "Character" divisions.  Ugh.

I vote for Great Lakes and Midwest divisions personally.

the velveeta division and the rotel division.

Scholars Division

Leaders Division

Michigan will play in a division named after legendary coach and athletic director:  Fielding Yost.

Ohio State will play in a division named after its legendary assistant coach:  Bo Schembechler.

Gryffindor vs. Slytherin.

I'd be up for a Red Division and a Blue Division.

Long Division and Cellular Division?

Now we know why DB was hired!!!!!

Rich & Rod, would that solidify his coaching status?

For the life of me, I can't kick this fear of a Capital One division and a Tostitos division.

York Division Presented by Rotel

Lancaster Division Presented by Velveeta

Championship Game: War of the Roses Presented by Barbasol

The music on the Big Ten network live feed right now is awesome!  Do they sell this tune?

is stupid.

not a fan...

...here's the new Big 10 Logo:

it's terrible. It looks like a 12 year old designed it in art class

That logo is complete b.s. 

monuMental could have come up with something 1,000 times better in 30 minutes.

booo.

Wow.  This really is quite lame.  Typical results of a focus group effort.

That logo is horrendous

Not impressed with the new logo.

I prefer the horizontal logo over the vertical one.

At least the last one was semi-creative with the hidden 11.  This just sucks.

Watching Delaney explain that the B1G logo was a "social media" logo was an awesome example of old-people-faux-hipness.

I can't access the feed.  Is anyone offering any explanation on logo design?  Why?  

look at the logo and say, 'yea, I like that'

The names better not be this bad

is bad too, why is it like Tarheel blue? The more I look at it the more I hate it. I hope the names are better.

This intro on leadership gives me a great deal of fear.

Looks like it favors OSU. Did Pryor make this?

Joe Girardi and the Yankees suck!!!!

FAIL!

This video is setting up these division names for failure.  I hope I'm wrong.

what about the division names?

Leaders and Courage?

Leaders and Best?

I can feel it:

The HUMILITY and the INTEGRITY divisions! 

HARD EDGE!

Is making me laugh outloud in the grad stacks.  I feel bad, but this is just so aweful.

WHAT. THE. HELL. This is bullshit. Worst names ever.

...

Legends and Leaders.

Legends and Leaders...WTF

Legends and Leaders

boooo

Legends and Leaders

Video on Leadership.  This is not setting up well for the division names.  Please don't burden us with abstract-idealized division names.

Legends and leaders? That is the best they can do?

Is that really what they just said the divisions are?

Michigan ISN'T in the leaders division? It's in the fucking fight song for christ's sake!

Leaders and best...not in the leaders division.  Something about that doesn't seem right, haha.

How do you have a Leaders division that does not include Michigan? 

Jim Delany Fail. Big surprise.

fuck this

Well guys, I, for one, cannot WAIT to be LEGENDS DIVISION CHAMPIONS!

So we're in the Legends division.  I can't deal with how bad that was.

I don't mind them.  They're kind of catchy, and will provide for a lot of jokes while tailgating.

We, obviously, should have been in the Leaders division though.

just horrible...your gonna hold a special show for this shit?

A thousand monkeys on a thousand typewriters came up with the great division names of all time.

Stupid monkeys.

... or were, as it were.

Logo looks like it was sourced on fiverr.

It's a cornhusker-clusterf#ck!

Stagg-Paterno??? wtf!  PSU has been in the conference for how long? ARGH!

the old school Big Ten Commish type names that had been thrown out.

Given the lack of feisability of directionality (East/West), school affiliation (Bo/Woody), or region (Great Lake/Great Plain) the names were bound to suck no matter what.

Wow.  They just keep piling on the crap, don't they!

Stagg-Paterno for championship game

Grange-Griffin for MVP of championship game

cue suicide

Paterno gets a Trophy and we can't be in the Leaders division?  Crap.  Reminds me of the CCHA naming the Mason Jar (cup) for the CCHA before Mason retired. 

It just keeps getting worse!

stagg paterno trophy is terrible

stagg from uni of chicago - not in conference

paterno - less than half of career in conference

michigan's namesake trophy is gerald fucking ford.

this is going so poorly.

THIS IS MY NIGHTMARE!

for best coach

they got SOMETHING right

Why do we need two names on every trophy? Are they that worried about offending someone? I hate political correctness.

You almost have to respect how spectacularly this is bombing. It's pretty awesome. I fully expect the next announcement to be that they're adding New Mexico State but plan to remain a 13-school conference for the foreseeable future.

are stupid. 

How stupid would the best player of the year trophy sound if it was called the "Heisman-Smith Trophy"

http://www.bigten.org/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/121310aaa.html

Why give Purdue and Wisconsin sole ownership of the QB and RB trophies???

*

Words escape me at how insane this all is...

This is what took so long?

Did they decide they don't want Nebraska after all and trying to scare them away?

A thought on the Great Lakes / Plains concept: doesn't just about everyone agree that was the best solution here??

As to it not making sense, doesn't every Big 10 school state have a connection to the lakes, except Nebraska and Iowa? So put those 2 in the freaking plains division! and every school state has something approximating plaines.

Goddam this fail just makes me upset. I'M CALLING THEM GREAT LAKES AND PLAINS DIVISIONS.

so glad ND isn't a part of this crap
