MilSox Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 57 minutes ago, GDAWG said: Valparaiso has a Football Team? FCS affiliated, but non-scholarship, which is why you never hear of them. They're a glorified club team. As far as a new nickname, I'd like them to choose somethinh that would enable them to keep their current identity package, as I think it's very well done. I would go with Squires. It means the same basic thing as Knights, but much more unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes to the former. “Crusader” (you know, the indiscriminate Jew and Muslim slayers) is where people draw the line. 5 Quote MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chcarlson23 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I could see something like the Valparaiso Torchlighters. It has a feel of honoring the Christian heritage of the school in a good way, as well as looking to the future. Think like the Torchlighters of the faith, or people blazing the way for numerous things. It also matches the shield that has been used on the Crusaders logo. Nicknames could be the Torches or the Lighters lol. Quote "And those who know Your Name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."
