WCC Retro Shirts
Another nice job by the WCC Staff. Jamie Zaninovich... great hire.
I must say though, I am pretty disappointed in the UP "retro" shirt. (Pepperdine's too, for that matter.) Maybe the problem is that we didn't own the copyright to the old Pilot wheel, but man... we have some great old logos and it's a shame they weren't able to use them. I really hope it's not a case of UP telling them to use the new logo instead of the old one... because come on, there are supposed to be retro shirts for crying out loud!

Re: WCC Retro Shirts
The WCC's concept is great... but, seriously, the UP shirt is awful. The design... the color....
Just because we didnt own the rights to the old "wheel logo" doesnt mean it couldnt be used, though, right? I mean the other school's old logos arent copyrighted, either, are they?!
Another sad chapter in the series of failed UP merchandising...

Unfortunate... I'm a sucker for retro shirts too! The SCU and LMU ones are pretty darn awesome...

What, no "slip it in" shirt? That is as retro as it gets!

Re: WCC Retro Shirts
DTR, I would buy a shirt with that on it in an instant! (Well, maybe not for $38... but in concept, of course!)
Seriously, you should sent a note to the t-shirt folks with that photo. Let them know what they missed out on.
Hmmm, am I also sensing a PN t-shirt version 2.0 concept?!

Is that a flashlight that he is holding? That should be changed to a nice microbrew...a Brrr perhaps.

Re: WCC Retro Shirts
Reply posted! And uhhh yeah, I think we can pretty much mark this one down as the next shirt idea (well aside from that target idea)... Now to find someone who can cleanly convert a button to a t-shirt sized logo...

Re: WCC Retro Shirts
Sigh... and to think this is a topic that gets me pretty fired up about and I STILL let myself start a tangent...
That said, I would love to search the archives or the university museum and dig up some of the old athletics logos, I'll bet you there are some gems just waiting to be discovered.

I bet Fr. Antonelli would love to look it up for you. They have some crazy stuff down there.

Re: WCC Retro Shirts
As for Pepperdine and St. Mary's...I don't know that it counts as retro if the logo was in use when I was in college. That Pepperdine logo with Neptune was pretty cool.Stonehouse wrote: I must say though, I am pretty disappointed in the UP "retro" shirt. (Pepperdine's too, for that matter.)
Does the USF one say "We Play Hard" on the back?
