So who knows what the deal is. Hopefully they just announce the name for scheduling purposes and then work on the uni's, logo, mascot, ticket designs, and fan merchandise between the name announcement and this late September date.
Not good PR policy to not have the name AND logo ready at announcement time. Again, it would be nice have a name when scheduling, but the location is all that matters when making a schedule. We already have and are the location. Again this is all about IMAGE or BRANDING. Don't build a half ass brand by announcing the name upfront but don't have a logo ready for 2 months. Geez, could you imagine the national flack we'd get in the press (especially in Seattle) by not being completely ready at announcement time. The dumb redneck Okies are so eager to announce their team name, they don't have colors and logo's picked yet. A business of this caliber shouldn't and won't operate that way.
