You've Gotta Be Kidding Me

What is this?

Syracuse University has adopted a new athletics logo for all of its athletics teams. The new look is the result of a collaborative effort between the University and NIKE, SU's official athletics apparel partner. All 21 of SU's athletics teams will utilize the new mark -- an interlocking SU -- and the official orange color on uniforms and warm-ups and in print and electronic venues. Previously the department had multiple marks and logos. In addition, Syracuse University's teams will now use the nickname Orange, replacing Orangemen and Orangewomen.

Okay...we called them "The Orange" already (all of us marching band types are known as "The Pride of the Orange"), so this isn't really that big a change, but still...I can't help thinking this is somehow related to the gender identity thing at Harvard. Don't ask why. Just a feeling.

...There, that should balance out the other rants a bit.
