Spartan Fans Have Been Heard

My day started off with some really great news from my husband! He sent me a text that said, "check your email." So I did, and I find the news that MSU has decided to not change their Spartan logo! You might think I'm a little crazy, but this to me and many Spartan fans is great great news! A few weeks ago it slipped out that MSU was going to be changing their Spartan logo come April. What? When the new logo was revealed the fans, alumni, students, etc. went absolutely crazy. I've never seen so many supporters for a university come together and stick up for what they believed... that the old logo was so much better. No way were many of us going to support the decision to change the logo to something so hideous, let alone buy anything with the new logo on there. There were groups made on facebook "Stop the new Michigan State logo" which gained 4000 members in two days and grew from there to almost 9000! Then there was the group "We will not buy Michigan State merchandise with a new logo" which gained great support. There was even posts on these pages of people who were Notre Dame fans who said they thought Michigan State had a great logo and shouldn't be changing it. Wow, support from Notre Dame fans. Crazy! The most we got from some Michigan fans was a laugh in our face. The old saying goes, "if it ain't broke don't fix it!" Seriously, there was nothing wrong with the old logo! Don't mess with a good thing. It's a really great logo. So with that said here's the old and the new logos.

The old one is on the left and the new one on the right. The problem with the new one... well, it's ugly, it looks like a high school mascot, and it's got a Jay Leno chin to name a few. Are you kidding me? What are they thinking. The they being Nike who designed this and Mark Hollis (MSU athletic director) and some others who approved it. Granted there were some MSU fans who didn't think it was all that bad, but majority vote was a no go for the new logo! So finally after a few weeks of MSU fans, alumni, etc. voicing their opinion... the unthinkable happened. Mark Hollis made a statement this morning saying the new logo was no more and the old logo was here to stay! What great news this is to Spartan fans! I never ever thought they'd change their mind and walk away from the new logo, but with that said, never say never. I'm so glad that Spartan fans have been heard... and they LISTENED to what we all said! Thank you MSU! You made the right choice! Victory for MSU!
