TheChosenOne Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Went to the game last night and saw those for Illinois and Mizzou, looked like decent quality too. Thanks for posting, I have to get one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting, I have to get one of those. I was there last night as well and I know we’re all biased here but I think the blue looks far sharper and the fact that we’ve used the STL logo before makes it look like it could be a fauxback SLU baseball jersey.

Completely agree with both points (the royal blue looks the best and the STL is actually fitting). I was just weighing in that the jerseys appeared to be decent quality.

I have a mesh Bills baseball jersey that looks exactly like these minus the new Billiken. All in all I am glad that we moved away from the famous Cardinals "STL" monogram, but I do enjoy its use every once in a while. I've also hoped that SLU would develop an unique "SLU" monogram similar to the ones that University used in its early history. I assume that the marketing department tries to steer clear of any confusing with the more famous Cards logo. I think SLU was using the "STL" logo as late as the '90s.

We are in one of the quieter periods of the off season, so I don't mind driving this further off topic, any thing cool you grabbed of note? I am always curious where things end up. Like, where did the C-USA banners (there was a banner for each school) and other SLU related banners from Scottrade end up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think this sale happened in 2013 because IIRC I bought a non-named #10 jersey from the 2012 NCAA team. I have a Tyler McIlwraith women's rawlings jersey, I have a pair of the shorts that match. I have a pregame warmup shirt from the women's team. My prized piece from that sale is the Miracle In Memphis CUSA Championship Banner, it's still hanging in the basement at my mother's house. I should create an album of all the SLU/SLU related gear I've accumulated through ebay and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can believe it, they just had them all rolled up standing against a well in Chaifetz they sold all this stuff during a fan fest. The National Championship banner had already been sold. I think I paid somewhere between $10 and $20 TheChosenOne likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have that jersey in my closet right now. My dad played on the baseball team in the late 80s and has some cool stuff. Used to wear it to basketball games fairly often. Then i “grew” out of it.

billikenfan05 Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 Very important note if you haven’t got your tix yet. Buying from the Cardinals website only XLs are left. If you go through Ben SLU alumni website you can still buy all sizes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMan Alum Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I haven't seen this evening's game advertised much lately. Me and six friends are going to be there, but I'm wondering if the general public knows about it. I hope there will be a ton of folks sporting the jersey tonight. And...how could they run out of sizes so early? I am assuming these can be made pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMan Alum Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Thanks for the clarification. I did receive an email early on which is when I ordered tickets, so maybe I quit looking for any advertising. I just hope there's a ton of blue there tonight.
