Either C or D, but I'm leaning toward C. I'm not in love with the axe logo.

I'm probably in the minority but I wish they would separate SFA out a little bit more on the Texas logo so the letters are not directly on top of each other.

I'm with you there.

It's my favorite logo but could use a bit of refinement.

How do we feel the purple arc is gonna look over time?

This is a small thing, but if they do A or B, they need to stretch the logo a hair more and cover the entire tipoff circle.

Pretty sure the current is bc of the app they used to create, but who can say.

If I were going to do a new logo on the court, I think I'd pick this one and replace the Lumberjacks with Stephen F Austin and then add a top and bottom bevel for Ladyjacks/Lumberjacks.

I like C the best. I like a colorful court.

They need to stretch it, but the tip-off circle still has to be there. Even with giant logos, there's still a faint circle.

---

Ya you can barely see it on our current court. I just think stretching it is probably the best to avoid a more distinct line.

I like C the best I think, but D is fine as well.

While I like the new marks, I don't really like them as a primary focus on the field/court.

---

Agree on both points.

Like someone said on twitter, D would look even better with purple lanes.

Agree with C

I LOVE the pine trees on the court! My favorite is C.

I'm surprised this didn't make the cut.

This hurts worse than the Notre Dame game.

Here's what I was talking about on the new secondary logo at center court.

*this is not the actual SFA secondary logo, it's just something I threw together to show the idea*

If I was gonna use one of our new logos, I'd flip the Ladyjacks and Stephen F. Austin on the secondary logo and add a bottom bevel that says Lumberjacks.

Kinda like this. pic.twitter.com/hYopP7Z3GP

SFA has a new manager of ticketing. Chris Bentley.

Used to work for the Texans in ticketing. I figure if he can sell Texans tickets, imagine what he can do for winning teams!

Almost 48% for Option C out of 537 total votes.

I checked the YKYWTSFA Facebook page and it's got a ton of comments and almost everyone voting for C.

---

They allowed it to be posted there? I'm kinda surprised.

The original Facebook post from SFA athletics has a healthy mix but a strong lean towards C.

V worked with him....she said he's a great hire and just finished his Masters in Sports Business.

I definitely think something has ti be targeted for WBB. They have done their part by being a dominant, winning program. Now WE gotta step it up on the attendance side.

I really like the Polar Express idea. V and I were brainstorming and think they need to hit the Freshmen/SFA 101 classes to hook them right off and keep them coming for 4 years.

Also, sponsorships...spotlight the sponsor during the game and the families/employees get in free or reduced ticket.

KState did something fun for their WBB. They give out Bacon. Who doesn't love bacon? It was a hit and increased attendance. I'm not saying we copy them but something similar could be done. BBQ? Free for students, others would pay. Honey butter chicken biscuits?

Church groups...I think they used to give free tickets to them.

Honestly, free stuff in general. Remember, they are co.peting with other stuff going on at the same time. College kids are motivated by FREE things. Heck, I'm motivated by free stuff lol

Bacon??? They give away bacon??? Just curious.... Raw or cooked? By the pound or by the slice? Their men's teams have not been very good lately, so you're saying that the women are the ones "bringing home the bacon" at K-State?

Cooked. https://sports.yahoo.com/amphtml/blogs/ncaab-the-dagger/kansas-state-came-idea-free-bacon-giveaway-basketball-180039658--ncaab.html
I think it was just a one-off but definitely increased attendance for that game. It was different. They cooked 300 lbs of bacon and had 1000 students attend against a meh opponent. Seems like it worked.

Man, if we ever get a home game against Arkansas.

I'd buy the bacon myself & donate for that!

I made some edits to add a sawmill flavor to the court design.

Ok I made some adjustments to the new SFA court design that I feel really captures the essence of SFA basketball. pic.twitter.com/kmhF5rlfIL

To me C or D are the only options. That is our school logo, A and B are not. While our logo may not be know nation wide, I guarantee it is more recognizable than 10 years ago. Major schools don't go changing their logos. They stick with a "brand" and they market it. Just my 2 cents.

Also why do I remember seeing a court where the entire court looked like like horizontal tree logs? Am i imagining this? I thought it was some sort of SFA court but I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.

Final results from Twitter, out of 1,099 votes:

Design A: 12.7%
Design B: 7.5%
Design C: 47.5%
Design D: 32.2%

Pretty overwhelming for the main logo option(s). This was again just from Twitter, but I would assume overall will be similar. The % from that Facebook page was even more in favor of Design C.

---

Had a few votes for Option E.
