As one who is truly fat, and solidly ugly, I feel qualified to say that our cheerleaders do not stop traffic (if the phrase is used how I have always heard it used) or do stop traffic (if you use T Bird's car wreck scenario).
About the shirt, whatever the saying is, keep the same basic design from year to year.

Since "fear is next" prior to the 100th anniversary, now all should "Be afraid. Be VERY afraid."

About the shirt, whatever the saying is, keep the same basic design from year to year. I agree, not with the cheerleader comment but the design. I won't say anything about the cheerleaders, socal hoya 85 might kill me in my sleep.

I hate bananas, but bannananas are a whole different story.
Is there any way we can work an emoticon onto this? Or maybe just Hoyatalk people can have our own shirts. Instead of the logo on front, we just put a ;D

what if half of the WAG shirts distributed with the tix were grey and the other half were blue? The the phone booth would just be a sea of blue and grey, totally awesome

I think "Unfinished Business" has the potential to serve as a jinx. It is entirely too easy to imagine "Unfinished Business" being derided by opposing fans if we fail to repeat last season's accomplishments.
My first stab at the logo could be criticized for the same reasons, though.
NIT, Sweet 16, Final 4, ... Thank you, Class of 2008

The blue/gray discussion has been held a few times. The consensus is that the visual effect is more impressive if everyone's in one color. Many schools, including some very evil ones, use blue. Gray isn't as prevalent.
I HATE "Unfinished Business". It's so generic. If we're going to use that, why not just sell out to Gatorade and make it "Do you have what it takes to pay the toll?"
Sorry. Had to get that off my chest.
How about a "1984"-inspired quote? "We are one people, with one will, one resolve, one cause.".
Or
"On April 5-7, the Final Four will be held in San Antonio. And you'll see why 2008 will be just like 1984."
Someone needs to do a Rival Reel takeoff on the Macintosh ad. I feel very strongly about this.

The the phone booth would just be a sea of blue and grey, totally awesome I actually like the blue/gray idea too. Although it could be hard to arrange because there would be pockets of each color. I do agree that one color is more impressive, but only if that color has some pop to it (the royal blue in Cameron, the Cardinal red in Busch Stadium or the tarheel blue at UNC) Gray isn't one of those colors for a couple reasons: 1) it's muted 2) there are a million shades of gray, so people who aren't wearing the WAG shirt are all wearing a slightly different color gray. I would like a blue/gray scheme, or something adventurous. I'm not in love with our current set up, but such is life when your school's colors are blue and gray.

Hi... I'm new to the board although I've been reading it regularly during my time so far at Georgetown. Anyway, just wanted to ask you all to please leave the cheerleader mockery out of your conversations. I am currently on the squad and would like to just tell you that several of us do read the boards on a regular basis and do take offense to some of these comments. We do appreciate the compliments/suggestions however, and thank-you to theexorcist above for sticking up for us. We work hard and are true fans of our athletic programs. Anyway - I like Unfinished Business best =) although maybe that does seem like it's putting alot of pressure on the team..... I want a t-shirt honoring our cheerleaders that says: Front: Leaders of Cheer Back: Have Great Heart!

The the phone booth would just be a sea of blue and grey, totally awesome I actually like the blue/gray idea too. Although it could be hard to arrange because there would be pockets of each color. This is exactly why having one color is necessary -- and pockets would be an improvement on what it would really be, which is more like a bricolage. Not a good look for crowd unity. The WAG shirts should stay gray for a variety of reasons: 1. It's associated with the JTIII era and our departure from mediocrity to our unique style of play and success; 2. Dark blue gets really washed out in a crowd in a building like the Phone Booth and gray is much more noticable; 3. We tried the dark blue once -- with the first HoyaBlue shirts in '99. It was a total failure from a crowd unity and "pop" standpoint; 4. No other school uses gray like we do. It makes us unique. Having gone to almost every home game in the last 9 years, and having sat in the student section, the band, the YA section, luxury boxes, and the cheap seats, I can categorically say that the most impressive we look as a crowd is with all-gray WAG (or other gtown gray) shirts, hands down (short of coordinating the unfurling of a giant Gtown flag in the crowd, futbol style). It makes us look unique and it actually looks a lot cooler than blue on TV and in the stands. Stick with gray.

Agreed on sticking with gray. Whenever I see a picture on ESPN.com or elsewhere with a sea of gray in the background, I instantly know it was taken at the Phone Booth. It's our own unique thing, and it's worked wonderfully for us. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
