Nice, that looks pretty good

They are changing brands. The new FieldTurf seems to be the popular choice these days, Tulsa, Cal, Montana all have some flavor of it.

one more dry winter and my house will be joining in!

Maybe should inscribe THE University of California Davis on the field ala THE Ohio State University

Don’t know if the above link will work for y’all without a subscription but Jason Gay is very funny/entertaining.

We don’t have room for all that text. I even find the UCDAVIS hard to read, isn’t the suggested name with a space?

Didn't our own cheer squad run around with 'Cal Davis' in Kentuvky at our DII National Championship, arguably our biggest modern victory?

I don’t recall. I don’t think Cal Davis is an ideal name either. UCLA’s first chancellor made a point that the school go by the initials so that they didn’t seem like a UC Berkeley subsidiary. Likewise I think we should lose both Cal and UC. There is no other college called Davis. we should go with that. We’re big enough that we don’t need to inherit status from some other place. Just my opinion.

Agreed. “Cal Davis” just smells too much like Berkeley’s little brother.

Huh, you're right:

I wonder if this is a mistake with the rendering or there's some reason they felt they needed to shrink the logo

Agreed, and script Davis is such a classy logo

NCagalum We don’t have room for all that text.

All tongue in check of course. We (band-uh) used to do a block UCD back in the day. You could do that with 48 marching.

if the name was Davis you would could dot the I.

Well I guess 60 provided more resolution with UCD. Block CA also used pre-game ‘78

Well that takes me back.

Ha, love it

In my era my favorite was always the script “Aggies” ripple bow at the end of Roll. Love the hand drawn shows. We also had some rudimentary software written by a bandsman in the 90s to help plot shows and print poop sheets. After the drum major created everything it could run a simulation for collisions and either declare the show as “sane” or “insane”

We did UCD, the Block CA, and script Aggies for my year (95), complete with a sousie dotting the "i". :) 90-spot pregame that year.

CAchart was pretty slick for what it was, IMO.

Pretty sure we did all that as recently as 2018 or 2019. They changed it by last season, but I remember there being a practical reason (I forgot what).

Just got this old hat off eBay. Love how it goes against every current UCD name guideline. :lol:

Imagine that on the field.

My first thought was that Cal was coming to Davis .

I love it. It's very offensive.

I’m surprised it didn’t come in Sac State colors.
