Nevada Helmets vs UNLV

I do like the old Wolfie logo (that NC State famously stole from us :P), but we've never had the top hat wolf on a helmet (he may have made an appearance on a one time helmet a couple years ago). Would be cool though. 

I just could never like the old wolfie logo with the big hat. Reminds me of a really pissed off Dr. Seuss character. ?

So many triggered little big men in here. Guess that forsaken landfill of a “city” Reno just makes em that way

When you accomplish something outside of finishing a book, let me know. When's the last time you saw a 2 year old fly first class in their own seat? Don't tell me about elite.

In all seriousness, yes the south refusing to acknowledge the name Nevada is a bit childish...however you didn't try to brand yourself as Nevada until the mid 90's? and no, pre-1950 is too far back to worry about. Obviously many of us were around those days and your were always Nevada in our lifetime. The move, in part, was a way to take back some status after you were subjugated to legally being our "sister" university so you'd have to expect to take some shit for being elitist.  I would say the whole thing would die down faster if you weren't constantly rubbing our noses in it with the state flag and state symbolism, but whatever, you are entitled to the moniker and if you think this helps with school branding and recognition well then I guess that's what you should do.    

FUNR

I really don’t care what our rivals or opposing fans call us, by the very nature of the rivalry, they’ll always be petty and recalcitrant about it. What matters is what’s on the uniforms and what ESPN, CBS, et al call us. 

That said, so many fans are ignorant of the history of the name. The short version is this:

From 1874 to 1969 the university in the city up North was simply called, the University of Nevada. Its athletics teams were simply called “Nevada”. There are old photos of the football team in leather helmets with “Nevada” on their uniforms. 

For a brief period, 1969 to 1992, just 23 years of the University’s 143 year history, the athletic teams went by the three letters. In 1992, the athletics teams reclaimed their original name.

Given the documented history of this conference, the Wolf Pack would have far more success if they became a "City"-state school. Besides, Reno State University has a nice ring to it.

Reno U is very fitting. Small time name for a small time school.

But if they want to be amongst the elite in this conference, they need the "State" in their name. Therefore, I'm suggesting Reno State University.

Do you ever notice how Vegas fans get personal and insult people from Reno to make themselves feel better? Ever notice how Nevada fans generally take the high ground and don’t go there? 

It’s all they got, so we can’t take it away from them.

Best part about Reno fan is their inability to deal with the fact that UNLV always has and always will have a higher ceiling then them. The doubling down and insistence really came when they were left in WAC hell and thought they would never have a chance to get in the MW. UNR is a good school but those that argue it could ever be anything more than a MW school know they are delusional. Their ceiling has been met...therefore they must cling to silly things like being called "Nevada."

Bottom line is UNLV has always been limited from reaching it's ceiling by its own ineptness, not by its city. Over the last 25 years UNLV has underperformed it's ceiling, UNR has hit up against their's.

I disagree. I think UNR was a freeging mess in the 60-70s. I think Reno as a city was a mess in the 80-90s as evidenced by the collapse the downtown. I think what the city and university have done in the last 5-8 years has laid the foundation for the future. The university used to  be mentioned as a small part of the future, now it’s the focus. Recruiting students in Nor Cal and Las Vegas has never been better. Nevada gets that its location is strategic for the first time. And campus construction and student housing is exploding. The future looks better now than when gambling was still leading this town.
