Design critic + hoops fan = protest T-shirt maker
A fan of the University of Kansas basketball team, and, more to the point, of the “curling, arc-serifed typeface” on the team’s uniforms, is upset about a redesign:
[In] an ill-conceived (and expensive) attempt to standardize the KU brand, university officials have replaced these famed letterforms with a typeface that only a corporate consultant could love. The new typeface– Trajan–cuts a lackluster profile unfit for the country’s premier program.
Or the T’s he’s selling more concisely put it: Trajan Sucks.
I’ve been a little out of the loop, so maybe Uni Watch has already covered this. But I heard about it here.
