Then why do they still use the Cat (minus the N) on various alternate uniform helmets?

And why would Fitz hate it when he won Big Ten championships under that logo?

I agree with this entirely. The N-Cat is terrible from a design standpoint. Keep the elements separate.

I'm an old geezer from before the "classic" N. I still consider it new.
I see your point, Stream, but I think we've had it on our helmets for nearly forty years now, and it runs circles around the goofy N-cat.
I'm actually with you. I have two sons who are artists. They would tell you that the farther away something is to be seen, the simpler it should be. Detail is lost.
It's a great idea. I wonder if there would be zoning issues. They had to get a signage variance for the Block N on the Taj because it was too high in elevation (27'10" above grade) to meet Evanston's requirements (15'6" Max above grade). The variance was allowed to make the N architecturally proportional to the size of the building and also because the N will not be visible from public property.
The End zones are pretty obvious when you fly over Ryan Field. Target has a big target on it, which I find a little creepy.
That doesn't make any sense. Plus I doubt GCT can afford leasing the roof advertisement. A purple N is my guess.
Long live the N-Cat.
Besides who wants to see all those N-Cat flags that flew across the world become obsolete, much less our purple paraphernalia purchases.
The problem with the standalone "N" is that it is easily confused with other schools including, but not limited to, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota and all the Northerns. For branding purposes the N Cat was and is
genius.
Alaska, though we're on opposite ends of the opinion spectrum regarding the N-Cat, honesty compels me to grudgingly admit that during this past Big Ten tournament as I was walking around DC with my NU hockey jersey, a gentleman in a suit stopped me to ask, "Is that Nebraska?" When I explained to him that it was Northwestern, his response was, "Where is that?" A mite deflating, to say the least.The problem with the standalone "N" is that it is easily confused with other schools including, but not limited to, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota and all the Northerns.

Ah, the woes of being a directional school......When I explained to him that it was Northwestern, his response was, "Where is that?" A mite deflating, to say the least.

North Dakota's overlapping letters design causes it to be confused with Notre Dame, not Northwestern. Notre Dame is the 2nd logo shown below.
