Valpo has announced its name change. They are now…the Beacons.

I thought the same thing at first, but I changed how I thought about it and I'm seeing things in a new light. The nickname is a bright idea!

To me the logo looks less like a lighthouse or "Beacon" and more like a chess piece...the Queen to be exact.

The Valpo Queens might work for their women's teams, but I think it would put their men's teams at a competitive disadvantage to have to wear this emblem on their uniforms.

We had a fan poll on our board of the 8 finalist selections and beacons came in dead last with no votes! The selection committee must have seen the results and that put it over the top. :roll:

You folks can continue to call us Valpo as always. Anything else might temporarily be taken by some as an insult.

That's the good news: You'll always be Valpo!

I don't mind the name. I think the logo is pretty bad.

It seemed like and odd choice at first…but…wait, what?
