If we start quoting Jack here, I quit.

If we don't have a quote, what would people suggest Hoya Blue do for the back of the shirt? And when I say quote I pretty much mean any phrase replacing the previous years phrase.
We could use JTII's quote from the 25th anniversary banquet: "You're not a Hoya because you win. You're a Hoya because when times are bad, you're still a Hoya."

If no quote, I prefer a roster.
I like the 25th anniversay quote, but making it shirt size might be hard.

whats wrong with just having the III on the back with the season year?.....I don't really get why we have to cram a bunch of things on the back....less is more as far as I'm concerned....I'm getting tired of trying to force a quote on the back of the shirts it definitely worked the first couple of years but I feel like now it's getting played out a bit....Alas nothing is going to make everyone happy so whatever people come up with is fine

Chemistry is appropriate but a Phoenix is the wrong message for the times. Post-Esh deserved a Phoenix. This season is more like Rocky working hard to come back from the distracted-by-fame loss to Clubber Lang. Image of a tiger's eye on the front, above a script "Hoyas," with a chemistry logo (or a chemical diagram showing bonds like g-f=c=f-g, TEAM in the middle) on back. or UP

I was bummed out that no one liked the latin quotes I submitted last year.

I would be in favor of dropping the quote. It seems like we're in "Eat the Banana" territory with many of these proposals. Likewise, some don't seem thematically appropriate (i.e. phoenix rising from the ashes).
The roster idea is not bad. Some schools go with the schedule on the back, which might also be helpful from the point of view of reminding people about games ahead of time. Cost may be an issue.

Yeah, let's not go overboard. We had one bad season. The phoenix seems a little overly dramatic for that.
(It's would've been really cool in JTIII's first season, but I don't think anything tops what actually ended up on the WAG shirts in his first season.)

i don't think there's been a really good one since 'respect is back, fear is next'
might be time to shake things up a bit

Just because some of us (I don't include myself here) are "tired" of the quote thing doesn't mean it should be eliminated. Let's remember that this is for the current students more than anything, and especially for the freshmen, this is still new.

any chance we change the color to white or navy? the grey does not stand out in the arena and looks really bad on tv.

We've been over the color thing in the past 1) The grey does look good on TV and does stand out in the arena 2) Blue would not stand out at all in the arena the seats are purple. 3) White while would stand out slightly more is too generic. We wear grey because the team wears grey it's a unity thing and it's unique as far as student sections go.
That's my opinion.

Let's remember that this is for the current students more than anything, and especially for the freshmen, this is still new. We have a winner! Lots of you are looking at the trees and missing the forest. What we ultimately want is for people (especially students) to be thinking about the new season, talking about the new season, excited for the new season, all in the runnup to Midnight Madness. And having a fun, harmless little publicity game like this is one way to do this. And just a quick public service announcement: I'm not going to comb through this thread to pick up any ideas so unless you actually email something to us, don't expect your suggestion to be seriously considered.

i think the color should be bolder. blue would look good over the purple seats. it would give the appearance of a sellout at verizon.
could we use the old bulldog logo instead of the new one? an homage to the old, tough hoya teams of the 80s and 90s.

I think the AD pretty much as the say on what logo gets used.

Front: same, or change the logo to the block G Back: III in the middle, but instead of words, have the Roman numerals of each player's jersey numbers surrounding the III.
Keep the colors the same.
