thetorch Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I've owned and worn out 2 of them. Those aren't New Era caps though. We need a return to the old style Billiken, tilted crown over one ear. I disliked this cartoonish grinch like billiken from the beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disliked this cartoonish grinch like billiken from the beginning. Ahh you're right, they are Zephyr. Really great hats though. I also agree with the second part. At least bring it back as an ALT logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you get those hats from the bookstore? Mine that I bought in law school has seen better days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deutschkind Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Those aren't New Era caps though. We need a return to the old style Billiken, tilted crown over one ear. I disliked this cartoonish grinch like billiken from the beginning. Maybe it's because I've only been a BIlls fans during the current Billiken incarnation, but I don't have any problem with the current logo. You call the current logo cartoonish, but the older ones were even more so. People here don't think the current logo is "fierce" enough, when I don't think any of the logos have been what I would consider fierce. Which is fine, because the Billiken isn't a warrior or something. It's a freakin good luck charm. But, yeah, let's get some retro designs out there. Retro stuff can be really well done, and I do like the old logos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last thing they need is another dust up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlebill Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Ahh you're right, they are Zephyr. Really great hats though. I also agree with the second part. At least bring it back as an ALT logo. I have a new era billiken. One is a black with blue bill, and the SLU logo. My friend has a blue billiken new era hat with the billiken logo on the front. They're there.

AlumniFan Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I heard some other time about a rebrand as well This has been an ongoing endeavor with significant faculty involvement. It is not as easy as it may seem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken Rich Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 One of the best days EVER was the cold day the Bills played VCU at the Fetz! My bro was in town, We got to campus really early went to the bookstore, bought new NEW ERA hats with the Billiken on the front and SLU on the back. We went to the Triumph Grill for a few beers (Wingnut F-yeah) before thegame. Over an hour before game time, my bro nearly shiite egg roll to see SLU students getting riled up walking around in the cold. When we beat VCU the place went nuts.......then we hung around midtown till Blackthorn pub opened, grabbed a big ass Chicago style and ate cheese till we were sick. GOTDAMN THEATWAS A GOOD DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TheA_Bomb Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I don't care if they offer SLU gear in alternate colors as long as there is Blue and White. I'm anti-menacing Billiken logo. If you want to make it look more menacing perhaps a full bodied Billiken holding a Colt .45 or a flail. I'd buy that T-shirt or hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorB Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 actually, there is no guarantee that Fr. B will return, in any capacity, to SLU, for several reasons. From faculty senate exec. comm.: President-elect Fred Pestello has reiterated to the Faculty Senate Executive Committee the past statements of Interim President Kauffman and Board of Trustees Chairman Adorjan that a continuing role in the affairs of Saint Louis University, if any, for President Emeritus Biondi is a matter to be decided by incoming President Pestello after he arrives on campus. The Faculty Senate Executive Committee has shared the views of faculty on this matter with incoming President Pestello. We have full confidence that Dr. Pestello will carefully consider those views, consult further with the Senate, and take such action as he deems necessary in the best interests of Saint Louis University. We further believe that, to make an informed and prudent judgment on this delicate matter, Dr. Pestello must be given the benefit of a respectful exchange of views in an environment of collegiality and presumptive trust. Also: the provincial leadership of the Jesuits may have some ideas about this too. Stay tuned . . . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if the Jesuits have a plan then fine but honestly regardless of his poor behavior he still needs to be treated respectfully or else you (not you personally) are no different then he was at times. I figured he could come back and be responsible for the 200 year celebration with all plans being approved by the new president and the board. I can in no way see him ever having any position of credibility/authority again at SLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
