We have spent this summer working to build on the success of our first year hosting the Overtime Team of the Week award. In the weeks ahead, we will be announcing additional sponsors and awards, and a few changes in voting format.
One of our bigger changes will be eliminating the Football Team of the Week award and replacing it with a general Team of the Week award for all sports, modeled after what we did during the winter and spring seasons.
Thus, we decided to come up with a new permanent logo. With the help of a test group of 20 high school athletes, after experimenting with different fonts and color schemes, we came up with the finished product above.
Special thanks goes out to the Advocate’s Shelley Lowell, who continues to do an outstanding job with all of our artwork.
When was there a Football Team of the Week Award?
We wanted to keep it but it was going to be too time intensive and costly to run two team of the week awards simultaneously. We didn’t want to deny other fall sports the opportunity.
football one should still exist.
