PAC 10 Gets A New Logo

The Pac-10 is done with their expansion plans for now after adding Utah and Colorado to the mix.  Even though they are technically the Pac-12 now the league has no plans on changing their name.

Instead, they have altered their primary logo to reflect a more mountainous conference. Above the “10″ you’ll notice a wave-like curve and a mountain peak.

The more modern look of the logo as compared to the old logo seems like an upgrade but I wonder if they will keep it with the new teams coming in.  Granted, it wouldn’t be too hard to change that 10 to a 12 when the new teams arrive but think of the hassle and expense. Everything they print and all the templates would have to be changed again in a short time.

That seems like a lot of trouble to go through for just a year.  Why not just wait?

The new Pac-10 logo was not supposed to be released until the end of the month but we all know how easy it is to keep secrets off the Internet these days.

Several photos have popped up showing the new logo being painted on Autzen Stadium for the University of Oregon.
