Also, Easton Stick had an awful week of practice in the shrine game, by most accounts. Played decently in the game. He could have helped his stock a ton esp as he was labeled the best QB there by some going in. Struggled with the easy throws and in some cases missing them by a lot. See a lot of differing opinions on him now based on last week. Some have dropped him. Some say he’s still a big name to watch given film evaluation, which is fair. This is particularly imprtosnt to me because I have a bet from a year ago that Doss would be drafted ahead of Stick with three people on twitter. I know Keelan gonna show out this week too. My best guess is KD 4-5th round. Stick 6-7 round as of right now. That could change. Doss has a huge week ahead. Stick is going to combine though and still has some chances to impress. #GoAgs

"Breaking down 2018 after being asked about it on Fargo N.D. radio. Just have a feeling about UC Davis @UCDfootball with @TheKidDoss_8 and @jakemaier15 and all of the other young guys coming back. Team was just hair off 7-4 and playoffs and return a lot. #BigSkyFB#GoAgs"
I have seen other schools start to separate their athletic and academic branding in terms of appearance. Maybe that is what they are doing here, since they are using that "clipped corner" font all over the athletics site. I feel like if the University as a whole was updating branding, there would have been a committee and announcements.
In the last few years a lot of organizations have updated the logos to be more optimized for new media. Nowadays logos and wordmarks are used as profile pictures and most social media is viewed on mobile devices. So it has become more important that the logo is identifiable when it is the size of your fingernail on your phone. Fonts with thick and thin strokes (like the "UC" in UC Davis) are hard to read at small size. The issue of screen size is why the opening title sequence of new Disney movies just says "Disney" and not "Walt Disney Pictures" anymore. Just a hypothesis on this new athletic font.
Kind of related, I noticed that the Athletics site has a trademark symbol next to the phrase "#GoAgs". A year ago, that hashtag would yield results for several schools including NM State and Texas A&M, but now it seems to mostly refer to UC Davis. You can't really control what users do with a hashtag, but perhaps we have prevented other schools from officially promoting the phrase. If so, that is a slick move.
