That thing's gonna look sweet rolling down the highway, all across the country. GREAT marketing & recruitment tool.
Some of you would rather bitch about a logo you don't personally like, but I think it's a badass looking set of wheels.

That beauty is going to introduce our Fightn' Blue Hens to a lot folks.

1,770 miles west, 1,500 miles to the southwest, 1,200 miles south, and many points in-between.

A giant moving billboard. This whole FBS move is creating massive new exposure. Priceless!

Exposure is great and I love every bit of it. I just wish they rebranded for the move to C-USA. Delaware has so much potential in terms of branding that they never take advantage of and it drives me insane.

+1

And I also agree we missed an opportunity to a little rebranding as well. Curious if it will occur in the next few years as the transition stabilizes.

I’ll take our Elvis Chicken Head any day over our current PA announcer! Wish he was rebranded! He’s awful! I guess it was made worse in that was he replacing our nearly 50 year voice of the Hens in Elbert Chance. Can still hear him in my mind announcing hundreds of Ralph D’Angelo tackles! :)
GO BIG BLUE!

On a similar note, I hope we don't have to listen to Matt Janus anymore. Not sure how the ESPN+ broadcasts are set up, but he's an embarrassment.

😁 After my dad passed, I watched one of my games that he videotaped when I was a RS freshman. It was nice to hear his reaction to the PA announcing my name after I made a play.

Edit... I'll take a new a new announcer along with a rebrand and new in game music selections.
