It appears that NC State will be ramping up its use of the Tuffy logo this season—the football team pretty much abandoned the block-S midway through last year, which set the tone for the rest of the athletics department.

Senior associate athletics director posted this update on Instagram Sunday night:

It’s been a while coming, and while I like the block-S, the Tuffy branding is far more distinctive. Nobody’s going to confuse you with Stanford when they see that logo. That’s a big part of this change, I mean other than everyone loving the Tuffy helmets that NC State wore last football season. I’m glad the athletics department is embracing that.

This is the best branding change that I can remember. The football uniforms, while a little underwhelming in the light of day, are distinctive—and this helmet change is extremely good.
