It was going to be a gradual turnover when things were up for replacement in the schedule of such items. Such as when uniforms were replaced (I think that is a four to six year cycle perhaps)...they would then have the new logo on them. The changeover was to occur over that 4 to 6 year period of time. Nothing was ever mentioned that said that they were going to repaint everything and replace every scrap of material at the school that had the old logo. The name of the school mascot would not change...just the logo that goes with that name. It was a question of which logo is preferred. The school children voted for a change...but it was a close vote. The public seems to overwhealmingly be voting to retain the old logo. I question how much of that sentiment is coming from perceived costs with making a change and how much is which logo is best liked.
