Look who’s laughing. I attended LSU and got an Ivy League PhD! And by the way, it’s not an insult I like y’all’s traditional uniforms in all sports and especially like how y’all have gone back to the original football uniforms. I’m just pointing out a major error that should be addressed!

Eh Nike or someone thought it would be cute to add little tusks to as many letters as possible. While it’s not the worst font I’ve ever seen it’s not my favorite.

I wish we would go back to the old lettering in the end zones that reminded me of something you’d see on the old price is right. That hasn’t been the same since Gilbert McIlroy was fired after the Texass incident at War Memorial stadium.

We all agree. That design was brought to us by the same person that brought us “the battle line rivalry”, forward facing hog logo, fired petrino, and removed slobber hog. Every reminder of his attachment to the program should be removed

That font was Jeff Long and Nike’s doing. It’s horrible and pointless.

Arkansas should use the DMAC era font for football.

They should use the Todd Day to Corliss Williamson era font for basketball.

And for baseball the font the use on the red jerseys.

The font Jeff Long approved is too literal with the razor edge to the letters.

Since it was Nike's doing, let's hope they don't come in and start experimenting with gender altering drugs on the football team. The last several years the team has looked like women playing a man's game anyway.

It looks good in the Sweet 16.

Wouldn't know about LSU's.

There’s’nt much that pisses me off in life, but this does. This font should not be fricking used. In fact, it should be outlawed and discontinued immediately. Appalling! I don’t understand why, among multiple sports, this font is used. ESPECIALLY when your throwback uniforms are much better.

Totally agree...it's awful.

Thanks goodness football doesn't us it anymore.

Arkansas should use the DMAC era font for football. - They are and have been since 2020.

And for baseball the font the use on the red jerseys. - We do...started that this year.

The font Jeff Long approved is too literal with the razor edge to the letters. - Agreed, and...Jeff Long sucked.

Believe it’s supposedly to invoke some sort of razors edge look

A remnant of the Jeff long front facing hog rebrand shite. Not good

Attending an Ivy League isn't the flex you think it is. It hasn't been for a while.

And being credentialed also doesn't mean a lot if you don't have the common sense to eschew attempts to discuss the finer points of typology on the 4chan of sports boards.

That's what makes you a frickin dork. Not the opinion itself.
