New Midfield Logo for The Carter?

Also see: While we are talking about copied logos

For you folks who don’t do The Twitter or might be in bed before this made the rounds, there were rumors flying that Carter-Finley might have a new logo on midfield for the UNC game.

you can see this tweet from Triangle Radio producer Hayes Permar

Dark out at C-F but friend managed to snap a pic of the Piedmont. Trust me, the rest is there… http://t.co/3rPEbeVK3I

which was later confirmed by Wolfpack Offensive Linemen, Tyson Chandler

@NCSUFan101 it was white tho they might have painted the red in after practice

For what its worth, there are also rumors of new uniforms for Saturday but that is yet to be confirmed so who actually knows. They could wear pink skirts for all I care, as long as they win and/or it helps recruiting.

Our friends over at BackingThePack.com have a good analysis of the whole situation:

I actually like it fine, but the thing is it’s, you know, a blatant rip-off. I’m all for mixing things up a bit, whether it’s with the uniforms or something like this, but it would be nice if State could figure out something that hasn’t already been done by a school down the road. They at least had the decency to rip “this is our state” from a program several states removed.

The tweet of the night goes to theDevilWolf

If NC State REALLY wanted to troll UNC, they'd put the actual ECU logo at midfield

— Ben Swain (@TheBenSwain) November 1, 2013

One thing I wouldn’t mind them stealing would be the #hashtag in the end-zone that Mississippi State had for their Thursday night game a year back. Drop an #OurState or #PackNation in there one of these games.

Oh yea, one more thing that we can all agree on…. GO TO HELL CAROLINA! Go Pack!

    I have always thought NC State should embrace the shape of the state of NC. It is one of the more unique looking states in general. I think from a pure aesthetics standpoint that this looks good.

    Now, onto the copying. The bad thing is that ECU has done this for a couple of years and UNC has had it on the basketball court forever. It’s a bad copy and a bad time to roll it out. What’s the old saying? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

    I’ve felt forever that we should just paint the Strutting Wolf in the middle of the field in both basketball and football. Yes, it is similar to Bucky, but it is a very old symbol for us and is something that is uniquely NC State. Our block S is just so Stanford-light that it isn’t funny.

    I hate the “Our State” campaign. It’s just terrible. I wish that would go away.

    For a school that has produced so many patents, patent holding alums, original thinkers, problem solvers, etc we sure do like to copy other schools sports marketing ideas.

    Is our sports marketing run by a bunch of cheating hole grads?

    The execution is good ( I like the look). I just dont like the lack of originality.

    We ARE a red state, thank God!

    What the hell is “The Carter”?????????

    I manage to divorce myself of any emotion about getting our butt’s kicked this year, and NC State still finds a way to piss me off and embarrass me. Ripping off ECU’s logo. Did somebody hire Fowler as a GD intern in the marketing department? This is Unitard territory.

    It’s just really hard for me to believe that one of the higher ups wouldn’t have said, “Can we really not do better than this?” Guess not.

  7. WolftownVA81 11/01/2013 at 12:14 PM #

    I’m guessing that our marking department doesn’t believe in the use of focus groups to test out their concepts. I’d be ok with it – if we had been the first to use it. Since we weren’t, I prefer we not copy another school, especially UNC.

    The brass at NCS can’t get anything right lately, except baseball! It’s embarrassing to watch and witness. I hate this logo. Only saving grace would be to beat both the Holes and WeCU. Gotta do it now, no choice. I live in Greenville and now have to take crap about this logo rip-off (and possible drumming on the field) on a constant basis. It’s a bit like waterboarding.

    ^Wulfpack && Mr. Dog…. +1000

    for all the reasons listed above….
    and some more not listed.

    I sent a quick email to DYow to question the creative efforts (if any) by the marketing department. Her (or someone else’s) response: “I will forward your concerns to the marketing department.” Don’t really know how to interpret that response other than “F off!”

    To be sure there is someone in there with a brain to think for themselves and come up with something original. I digress.

    Beat the cheats tomorrow!

    I’ve been concerned about our marketing Dept. for some time. I can’t understand why we can’t do something originial on the field. Long time concern is, why can’t I find N.C. State shirts/jerseys anywhere in N.C. but the student book store? There is UNX stuff everywhere (Wal-Mart, etc.). I need a new State shirt but can’t find one and am not going to travel to get one. Go State!!! Beat the holes!!!!

    A couple of thoughts…

    When I start working on a design for a project that will have competition and needs to stand out – i.e. a book cover – I check out the competition and use that info as a guide to what not to do.

    On the other hand, this could be looked at as the Wolfpack throwing down the gauntlet and taking the State back from UNx, or EZU or anyone else who might think they have a claim to it. Yeah, that’s it! We saw, it, we stole it. So what!?! Knock this chip off my shoulder. Step over this line.

    That said, I agree that the marketing dept. needs to stop borrowing and start coming up with unique concepts.

    DIAMOND S!

    Didn’t like it when I first saw it. Hated it when I found out we ripped it off. Maybe all the ballers will like our new center field design.

    How about this? Just beat Carolina!

    The way this season is going the logo should be a question mark. ???????????????? We may get swept by all NC schools this year. Hopefully ECU want be too angry about the logo.
