Georgia Southern athletics sent out a notice last week which prohibited the use of the term “GSU” in an attempt to avoid branding conflicts.

An email was sent out by Georgia Southern’s athletic department explaining the changes in the Eagles logo that also included that the word GSU would be replaced with just GS for branding purposes according to the website UnderDog Dynasty.

“The university has moved to try to eliminate the use of GSU when referring to Georgia Southern. This would apply university-wide,” Jan Bond. Associate Vice President for the Office of Marking and Communications, stated in an email sent to the George-Anne.
