milwaukeebill Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I will mention with all this hate SLU is getting for the rollout - I'm a huge Milwaukee Bucks fan and half the gear in their NBA store has old players and old logos on it. It's been like 4 months for them and their new ownership seems reasonably competent. So I don't think it's that crazy that they're still selling old logo stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMM28 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 And the only Billiken logos that appear on that page are...the old ones. Hurry Bonwich 15% off only lasts so long, or so says the mis-branded email I get daily soliciting me for full price old logo items. I did see a shirt that actually had the new font on it along with the new Billiken online today. A rare bird indeed. They also finally got some license plate frames, but of course they feature the old logo. At least the bookstore updated their website with the new SLU logo. The Chaifetz shop website cannot be bothered to update anything nor get any new items online. You can't actually order any of the mens tshirts from them - I tried in June and they weren't making them anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think half is a bit of an overstatement, although I didn't dig really deep into the pages. More important, however, is that the first thing a visitor to that site sees is the new logo, which ain't happenin' in our place quite yet.

The stuff we are botching about would be solved by a couple phone calls and an email. So what's the excuse? Too busy - yet another reason to not do this exercise during the middle of fall semester. Incompetent - par for the Chris May course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonwich Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 So I'm told this is what no less than Santa is going to be wearing at the Fetz tonight. Can we once and for all get all the bozos and bozettes who wear pink, green and other inappropriate colors of Billiken gear to the game...to just STOP?!

Old guy Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Well actually this is the new uniform for Santa when he talks to kids before Hanukkah at the J. I other places the standard red an white uniform is to be worn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmart23 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 According to workers at the Chaifetz store, they ordered for the season before they were informed about the new logo. Major mistake by the university. So no one takes shots at the people from the Chaifetz store, they are a contracted group paid by the university to run the store. So it is on the university to keep in touch with them on the branding situation. A forever failing marketing department at St. Louis University....

I find it odd that SLU seems to screw up so many facets of their marketing. I'm sure they have a department filled with very capable people, but it seems like there is no communication among anyone when it came to this rebranding. It goes beyond just the rebranding. There just seems to be a ton of dysfunction right now and I'm not exactly sure what that should be attributed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot imagine that the people that work in Marketing are just flat out not smart. There has to be some type of change though. It's starting to get thoroughly frustrating.

Given that we have a fight song and have had it for the almost 50 years I've been going to games, I can't see what there is to talk about.

hsmith19 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I noticed they have absolutely zero Billiken stuff at their Dugout store at South County Mall this year, which is definitely a change. I can't imagine how pissed they must be if they really were not told about the rebrand until after ordering for a whole season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
