Two 6 team divisions? They should call one the Big Five the other the Big Seven.

They should call them both the Big Five. Or Big F6ive.

Smart move taking the number of teams out. This logo sucks though.

Division names:

Legends
Leaders

Worst division logo in college sports. I always though the old Big Ten logo was cool, but this new one sucks.

More importantly, the LEADER$ and LEGEND$ divisions? Could they be any more pretentious? Stu Scott announcing on ESPN "the Iowa Hawkeyes are the current leaders of the LEADER$ division in the B10(2)"

I hope the division logos incorporate some cleverly placed faces and numbers to at least keep with tradition.

If Big East basketball breaks into divisions I sure as hell hope they can come up with better names than this....

This rivals the Gold

It will be a pretty small step - from a design perspective - to change that "G" to a "6" (since the "I" is already formatted as a "1").

Just saying...

Lets be honest here...NOTHING rivals the Gold.

This is awful. I just can't figure out what is the most awful among the logos, the division names, and the 18 trophies each named for two people. Seriously, 36 people now have trophies named after them in the Big Ten. And in the illustrious 114 year history of the conference, they couldn't find better choices than Antwaan Randle El, Courtney Brown, and Brandon Fields (who once was a finalist for the Ray Guy award!)

I love everything about this.

The Big Ten will award the Stagg-Paterno Championship Trophy to the winner of the new Big Ten football title game, which begins in 2011. The trophy honors former University of Chicago coach Amos Alonzo Stagg and current Penn State coach Joe Paterno.

The MVP of the championship game will receive the Grange-Griffin Trophy, which honors former Illinois great Red Grange and former Ohio State star Archie Griffin, the only two-time winner of the Heisman Trophy.

Leaders and Legends? Division names?

DJO's Pump Fake · « **Reply #18 on:** December 13, 2010, 12:12:05 PM »

The need for all those trophies and for all of them to have double names?

come on now.

After seeing that logo, I'm sure there were 1000's of people throughout the country who are Big Ten fans going, WTF. The same look that MU students gave when Gold was announced.

Brutal logo.

I think they should have gone here

I actually think it's just as lame as the Gold. Legends and Leaders? It sounds like reading groups in elementary school. They take an easy thing like division names and embarrass themselves by listening to some "expert" branding people. I do not understand this kind of thing at all. East/West? North/South? Red/Blue? The Tribune's guy suggested Stars and Stripes. All would be better than what they paid somebody to come up with. It's really flabbergasting how idiotic decision makers seem to be.
