UGA, in partnership with Nike, has introduced a new brand identity across the entire athletics department.

This change affects the current football and basketball uniforms, but only slightly. A new font has been created for the numbers and letters called “Bulldog Bold.” The colors remain the same and the “G” logo remains untouched.

The Georgia Bulldogs will have their own Pop Tarts. UGA is one of five universities that have partnered with Kellogg’s for limited edition Pop-Tarts. The box and product will feature the Georgia “G” logo.

ESPN’s Darren Rovell broke the news yesterday. Kellogg’s is marketing the product as Limited Edition Printed Fun Pop-Tarts. Georgia’s will be called “Bulldog Berry” and appears to be frosted strawberry.

Four other schools will also be available: Michigan (Go Blue Strawberry), Arkansas (Razorback Red), Florida (Florida Gators Strawberry), and North Carolina (Tar Heel Berry).

This is from Paige Grantham, the wife of UGA defensive coordinator Todd Grantham.

Are you ready for some football? I can tell you the Grantham family is.
