From the article:
The 18-person task force formed to come up with a solution to combine the school’s academic name (UC Berkeley) with its athletics name (Cal) produced an 18-page report that concludes this:
Recommendation #3
Shift the athletics identity to Cal Berkeley in both name and logo. Develop a visual identity that clearly communicates this shift.
In essence, the “Cal” and “UC Berkeley” names were merged for sports in this recommendation.
Yeah shared this with my cal alum coworker and we’re now in the middle of a 30 minute diatribe
