Those are the knockoffs sold during the Mitchell-Reed era. Not an official jersey so hard to point to a player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that too, but I think it might be because he is the 33rd president in school history? Could be wrong. Regardless, they had the jersey lying around so it was easy to frame... Also, the potential names for the district are horrible. Why do we need to name this district? Seems superfluous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh that makes sense. Also, yeah, all of the names are terrible. Especially the ones beginning with “The” - sooo forced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 After watching the video, the socially awkward district comes to mind. Sometime people need to tell their bosses to sit this one out and let some spokespeople handle it instead. I have seen hostage videos where the stars looked more comfortable.

prebilliken Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 A few quick thoughts: 1) I'm actually fine with these names for the most part, they are far better than a lot of the terrible corporate names that a lot of these new developments feature. 2) All jokes about any other situation aside, that video was awful from a marketing standpoint. The President of SSM's stiffness combined with Pestello's goofiness was really painful. The green screen action of being "on location" was a mess as well. 3) These are awesome developments for Midtown/SLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
