It appears UNLV is still standing behind its new Hey Reb! logo.
The mark was unmercifully ripped on social media for being confusing.
A petition entitled #NotMyReb and #MakeRebGreatAgain has generated 6,100 signatures.
That’s far more folks than attended most home basketball games last season.
Since the backlash, UNLV hasn’t done much to promote the new logo.
There wasn’t a sign of it at football meetings for the Mountain West.
And athletic staff have been told that until otherwise informed, teams will be recognized by the more traditional UNLV letters in arched form.
