This reminds me of the time about 12 years ago when the NY Islanders decided to change their logo. (For those who don’t know, it’s basically a solid shape of Long Island in orange against a blue blackground.) The team took the new logo (which looked like the Gorton’s Fisherman logo) to the NHL, which tried mightily to convince the team not to do it. The team went ahead anyway and the new logo failed disastrously. When the team wanted to immediately change back to the old logo, the NHL made them wait the mandatory two years before changing back.
Change can be for the better.
