slu72 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Okay, all you budding young entrepreneurs out there, here's an idea for you. Just read the A10 article on Gordon and Goodwin and how glad they are they stayed home. Someone ought to come up with a G-Men tee shirt to show the fans appreciate they stayed home. Dress 'em up like 30's G-men and have it say something like Not in Our Town or some other witty saying. You guys are a lot more clever than I am, so let's see what you got.

You can use numbers, colors, etc without the school being able to shut you down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id rather go deep in the tourney and have them say on TV how happy they were to stay. Id also like to see the STL flag, and the st clair county flag.

It is the worst possible combination of the Japanese flag and some Cold War communist African country's flag possible. If it is not the worst flag ever, it is among them.

slu72 Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 The AD could do it then, right? Use the Arch as a symbol. Have them leaning on both sides of it holding basketballs. I remember someone came up with a Jordair T back in the day, but I think Nike shut it down because it said Air Jordair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still the G-Men is a good nick name for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bauman Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 This is probably the best article I have read on the team. If, no when, we reach the success level we all expect, we will owe a huge part of that success to the 2 G-men. While I think this team will be the best (most talented) in SLU history, there are two previous examples of twin local stars taking this type of step to help turnaround the program---Douglass and Gray; and Claggs and Highmark. This time I think we'll go higher! Thanks JG and CAG! Billiken fans really appreciate you coming to SLU. Now before we lose Bess and the other seniors, let's go on a he!! of a run this year. slufanskip and moytoy12 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree totally. On paper this team appears to have more skills and talent than Rick's Boys. Plus, we have way more talented depth. Now, if Ford can get them to play with the discipline and team first approach of Rick's boys, this team could go really far. Come March we all could be hitting our CD's and investment accounts pretty hard to scrounge up the funds for some road trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billikenfan05 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Why do they need a nickname? It’s cheesy. Forcing a nickname is like forcing a hype song like “We Are Mi$$ou” HoosierPal, slufan13 and Littlebill like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majerus mojo Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Not necessarily a nickname per say, but the AD could run with some sort of ”GOOD COMPANY” slogan with JG surrounded by the others.. For Good Measure... In Good Shape.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slu let the dogs out? Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Nickname I like best for this team is "A-10 regular season and tourney champs and your overall number 1 seed heading into March Madness undefeated".
