SLUMedBilliken15 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) I know there has been a lot of discussion on this board about the use of #TeamBlue with regards to team culture and whether it is appropriate to use for marketing. I noticed this sign behind Ford in a video posted on Twitter today which describes the characteristics/culture of Team Blue: Brotherhood, Dedication, Accountability, Attitude, and Toughness. Thought I'd pass this along.

I legitimately cannot comprehend how my take is controversial in any way shape or form. It's okay to not like everything Travis does.

thetorch Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 That is exactly what Team Blue should be used for. An internal team thing. Not something that is posted on every social media post and basketball marketing material. cgeldmacher likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVBilliken Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 I love that I can call my favorite team by two cool monikers ..... The Billikens or Team Blue. In fact, would love to get a "Team Blue" t-shirt or hoodie to add to my collection of Billiken merchandise. Anyone ever run across "Team Blue" stuff?

If you buy merchandise without the hashtag in front of Team Blue, it’s probably a cheap knock off. #Team Blue - the hashtag is how you know it’s the real thing!

billikenfan05 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 On some level I don't think so. But if it is, it's as lame and lack as much creativity as Team Blue. 2 hours ago, TheChosenOne said: I like to think they are just poking ‘05 at this point!

I have enough Billiken gear to last the rest of my life. This shirt would be a new revenue stream. I can't imagine any Billiken fan not wanting one of these T's.
