Izzo sounds off on new logo

January 25, 2010

Men’s basketball head coach Tom Izzo showed support for the athletic department’s new project that includes a redesigned logo during his weekly press conference on Monday.

“For all of you out there that are complaining, shame on you, because … we are trying to do what’s best for Michigan State University, our athletic department and the great people that we associate with and Nike’s done a heck of a job,” Izzo said. “Mark Hollis and our president have done a heck of a job and if somebody out there is looking for my support on this mad about the logo, find a new basketball coach because this guy is going 100 percent with our athletic department, our athletic director, our president and I think this is going to be one of the greater moves we’ve made.”

Izzo hinted that all of MSU’s teams would be unified under the same logo and uniform design.

“We are going to be moving into that new century here in the proper way and I’m excited about it,” he said.
