I know I'm in the single minority heyah, but I have always thought their logo was pretty cool. I think their helmets are Top 10 in the country actually. The new logo does take away from there actually being a 'U' in there, so I do think it looks worse. The explanation sounds pretty weak, because the logo has still been used, printed, manufactured without any hiccups and purchased just fine for how long now?
Never embroidered it myself, but the A takes center stage either way, so there are most likely some jumps that occur when producing, but you get that with a ton of designs. Of course the guy only mentioned digital stuff.
