Who was putting together the unity-spirit-type shirts last year (Jack, FS&HS, etc.)? Was that sponsored by HB or someone with a printing hookup?
I love the Sea of Grey. It's so impressive to see such a huge group of kids all wearing the exact same thing. You can see someone walk into a grocery store in Seattle, Cape Cod, Austin or St. Paul and you'll know exactly where that kid's priorities lie. Looks great on camera and intimidating from the floor.
As for what it says, I like the idea of using III quotations. He comes up with something every year and it's neat to see that quickly embraced by the entire campus community.

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! Front: Cheerleaders Back: Do it on the Court!

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. Great post! This is exactly why I wanted the shirts to be gray when I first designed them even though some people suggested they be blue. The gray is just so unique to Georgetown and it stands out so much more than a dark color like navy blue. Also, I love the fact that everyone in the stands is wearing the same color as the team at home games. With white jerseys it can get a bit generic, but the fact that we wear gray at home is extremely unique and it should be embraced. As great as the idea of half blue half gray sounds, I just cant imagine that working right now. We need to get more of the Alumni and general crowd to start wearing gray before we worry about getting even more complicated. Imagine if we could get the entire lower bowl to become a sea of gray, I think that should be our goal for now.
