The Akron Zips will sport a different look when the football team makes its 2022 debut at InfoCision Stadium on Sept. 1, and that’s not only because of new head coach Joe Moorhead. The Zips will also rock a new logo.
On Monday morning, Akron unveiled the university’s new athletic identity — a stylized ‘A’ which will serve as the primary brand for the Zips going forward.
Based on the video below, it appears the top serif in the ‘A’ was stylistically designed to form a ‘Z’ hidden inside the logo. With the addition of a new logo also comes a new, simplified all-caps font for the athletic programs, which can be seen in the logo above or throughout the following video.
