ST. GEORGE, Utah — The university formerly known as"Dixie State" has unveiled its new logo, with rebranding of the campus getting under way immediately.
But supporters of the name change pointed to the term's ties to the Civil War and the Confederacy which was even on campus in the form of a"Rebel" mascot. There was also a yearbook called"The Confederate" featuring students in blackface and statutes of Confederate soldiers, even though Utah was never in the Civil War. Public opinion surveys showed support for a name change and students said they were tired of trying to explain the Utah version of"Dixie.
While some alumni have vocally threatened to withhold funding from the new"Utah Tech," Dr. Williams said they have more than made up for it with alumni contributions that came in since the new name was announced.
That's a shame. Changing the name just because some people don't like it is stupid. I find Utah Tech offensive. What, they can't afford the extra letters to spell out technology? Is technology the only curriculum they teach?
The Buffalo Sabres want their logo back.
This makes me sick. I identify as a Buffalo and I demand this to be changed at once.
Una porquería
So stupid
Dixie didn't make any sense
Buffaloes
Oh I like it! Way better than I was expecting!
Thank goodness it’s not a whale tail 😉
