If you were given a white towel at any of the games with UofSC... Would you...

[world famous 3rd base hecklers]

1. Use it????
2. Burn it????
3. Wave the white flag when we're losing????

I'm starting to see UofSC being used around campus and on the website...

And don't tell me this the same they brought in Cocky in 1980 to replace Big Spur... Not the same...

Throw it in the trash where it belongs. If the people who love USC refuse to use it or buy anything that has that logo on it, what are they going to do? It's about money and if we the people refuse to put money in their pockets, they will get the message. Remember the "New Coke"? Didn't last long. We have the power

Use It, for toilet paper.

 

[FORKCOCK]

Wouldn't accept it.

 

[Kitchenlabs]

Use it for cleaning

I think the new Coke analogy is spot on. Its not that they simply came up with an inferior product. They went and tinkered with a product was just fine the way it was. . . and replaced it with an inferior product.

wave it as a surrender flag next time we play UK

Y'all realize we have been @ UofSC and # UofSC online for literally years now right

No. They don't.

Exactly! UofSC has been the hashtag etc for the University proper for years but I guess a lot of folks haven't been paying attention.
Don't love the logo, but the branding makes sense. I've always disliked that we tried to call the University "USC." Doesn't matter that the University of South Carolina was here before Southern Cal.... around the country, when you say "USC", people think "Southern Cal." Fans need to get over it. We're NOT "USC", we're South Carolina and fighting the battle to call ourselves USC makes us look stupid IMO.

Pretty much.

I know how I refer to my Alma Mater. Sometimes it's USC, most of the time it's Carolina. Are both those monikers nationally associated with other institutions? Yes. Do I care? Not really. Because I know what they mean to me.

Stupid. We are fighting for it. We are USC. They are also USC. We do not compete with them on anything. No one actually gets use confused.

I don't see UM having these issues. (Which one am I talking about?)
or CU,
or OSU,
or MSU,
Kansas (KU) and Kentucky (UK)
Arkansas and Alabama manage to play in the same division and wear the same color and they both seem to use a single A without confusion.

Are you 1/10 as familiar with the day to day operations of any of those schools as you are with University of South Carolina? Just because you as a random person in another state don't know their particular struggles with their name/branding doesn't mean they don't exist. Every organization works on stuff like this

As long as its not in "script" lettering....

OSU = Oklahoma State.
MSU = Mississippi State.

I'm surprised they didn't change it to South Carolina University.

Why not "SCar"?
