I am probably an idiot, but what is with the 18 theme at the game (e.g. Rally towels)
1818, the year SLU was founded.

Any lip readers know what Hasahn is saying after he puts #10 in a poster at the 22 second mark in this video? #10 was smiling after the dunk so it looks like there was some friendly trash talking going on between these two.

-I'm curious, was C&D from SLU? NCAA? did it say we know about these shirts or we have actually seen these shirts?
It was from the SLU AD. I don’t recall if they mentioned they actually saw the shirts, but they certainly were reading this board and urging me to not place a second large order of shirts that I was about to go through with.
After I acknowledged the C&D, I came back to the board here to explain what happened and that I couldn’t make more shirts and the AD hit me up again and were all ticked that I was even talking about the shirts still.

@QUAILMAN can explain the situation much better than I. I was just a hype machine for it
Cease and Desist recipient here. Here's my input on some of the comments above:
1. The problem with the Jordair shirt was, as previously noted, the obvious "likeness" of the player. The combination of using his unique name and hair on the shirt was a big no-no. I do not believe that infringing on Nike's Jumpman logo was ever mentioned in the C&D. I think using Yuri's name still falls in/around the "likeness" category, but don't quote me.
2. I made the "nobody is making any money" defense, since I was selling at cost. The response to that was that SOMEBODY was making money (t-shirt maker) on a NCAA players likeness.
3. Yuri's eligibility would only be hurt if SLU did not make an attempt to stop the shirts from happening after they found out. Nobody made us stop wearing the Jordair shirts, we just had to stop making them after the C&D, which I did. Luckily for many of you, I had quite a few printed before the C&D came. I probably dished out 50+ of those shirts before SLU found out.
Bottom line: You'll probably be fine if only a handful of people get them, but I would not blast it around the board.

Looking for 2 for tomorrow night. Trying to turn a couple youngsters into lifelong die hards.

Here are some highlights from the game. JB was in for the last 7ish minutes.

When looking at St. Louis, they almost always break over 3 million attendance for the season which means 3 million people that go downtown to attend these games.
“Attendance” just means tickets sales, not how many showed up. I’ll bet the true attendance number is closer to half that.

Our campus, on the other hand, seems to have been developed haphazzardly over the years.
I couldn’t disagree more.
Library, rec center, church, and student center all right in the middle. Same with most of the dorms. Sports facilities all in their own place. You have a university in the middle of a city and you could literally go weeks without ever leaving campus because it’s all nice and contained (unless you have to go to the med campus of course)

Jimmmmerson airballs his first three point attempt in a Billiken uniform. Glad he got that out of the way early.

And St Louis 1764 would have nothing to do with the year the team was founded.
I was responding to the comment stream from where you questioned why the 76ers and 49ers were different than the European team examples.

How is it different?
Philly and San Fran team name/years are based off events that have nothing to do when the teams were founded.

Correct. Edited that post for clarification. They've had a presence in St. Louis for a long time I believe.
This one is more of a psychological/perception victory for St. Louis than anything else, and a big win for St. Louis ag tech. When is the last time a Fortune 500 company moved its HQ to St. Louis? I think I read it was Post Holdings.
Unfortunately, I don't believe Bunge is actually a Fortune 500 company, since it is incoporated outside the U.S. It is on Fortune's less commonly referenced "Global 500" list.

For those who are not aware, the stadium will actually be built in the vacant lots and vacated highway site north of Market, not in the frequently cited Union Station lot south of it. (The Union Station lot and vacated highway ramp south of Market will become a plaza and related development connected to the stadium by a tunnel.) The theoretically site plan proposed by this blogger a few years ago will be more akin to the final plan. http://www.urbanreviewstl.com/2016/02/a-great-site-for-a-major-league-soccer-mls-stadium-in-downtown-st-louis/ Martin Kilcoyne tweeted the same last night.
Interesting. I did not know that. I was hoping it would be in the area that Union Station lot and potentially have an address on Clark Ave. Then you could say all three stadiums are on the same street.

Kinda crazy that in the 18 season coached by that group we never won a regular season title.
If we are giving Rick credit for 3 NCAA tourney appearances (as we should), then that group won 2 regular season titles.

That said, they’d have a tough time coming after you individually, provided you are only using the shirts for yourself and not selling them to others.
All good points in your post. Regarding this statement here, I made this argument when I got the cease and desist for the Jordair shirts, but their valid counter was that even if I’m not profiting, others are (plaint t-shirt manufactures as well as the screen printer).

My uncle had a great idea to make a t-shirt with all of the versions of the Billiken on it. I tried to make it myself, but shirt printers wouldn't print it out of fear of trademark violation.
Can confirm that there is at least one local screen printing company that will make the shirts.
Can also confirm that you will end up with a cease and desist.

The discussion prior to your post only mentioned "tournament teams." While I agree that the NCAA is a more important and prestigious tournament and pays a considerable amount of money to those participating in it, and also agree that this is the tournament that counts, that is not what was being discussed. The discussion was the A10 getting from 3 to 5 teams into tournament this coming season. If you believe the A10 has a single chance in hell to get 3 to 5 teams into the NCAA the coming season, please say so. Otherwise the 3 to 5 teams have to include the NIT as a post season tournament.
I believe I am speaking for everyone else on this board when I say that nobody ever has the NIT in mind when mentioning "tournament teams".

Clearly this guy has never met a Blackhawks fan. 75% of them had no clue that team existed prior to 2008. They're annoying, misinformed, self-entitled, and the best part: most of the ones you meet do not or have never lived in Chicagoland but rather all of the podunk towns that surround it, and yet they still trash St. Louis. It's actually quite amusing.
Not going to argue the part about 2008, but do people in podunk towns not get to consider the closest pro teams their own?
