leedsunited Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 You know what'd be awesome?If somebody actually posted their current logo... The STJ vertical block lettering styled one is the current one, the one you just posted is the wordmark from the basketball uni's from 2 seasons ago. (old)Insert Nelson Muntz HAW HAW here.

leopard88 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 That interlocking StJ definitely has the classic look. It's much superior to the other St. John's logos.By the way, why is St. John's called the Red Storm? I know they were called the Redmen before, but if they were going to switch names, why not switch to something more Catholic or more New York than Red Storm?ST JOHNS' SAINTSST JOHNS' REDSt. John's CARDINAL(S). Now that would be Catholic. And red.

And red.I wouldn't mind that as a nickname at allMe neither.Hmmm...as a St. John's alumnus and weary participant in the ongoing Redmen/Red Storm debate, I must say the Cardinals is as good a suggestion as I've heard. Of course, we tend to take ourselves much too seriously to consider something that so cleverly ties together both our history and our religious roots.As for the old/less old/current logo discussion, there is much to like about the old StJ interlock, but it always bugged me that the J appears first in the logo. Who the heck is JSt? Of course, we'd have much greater recruiting power in the dyslexic community. I'm still not convinced our new "Rutgers-inspired" logo has great staying power, but I'm learning to like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erlovepuck Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Chalk up another alumnus who likes the "Cardinals" idea. That would enable them to stress their nickname as referring to a team that wears red since this is where the name "Redmen" came from to begin with (the Native American" mascot was adopted later). The interesting thing is that when they first became a nike team they had the "SJU" wordmark that you often saw on apparel. When they decided to try to develop the ST.J thing I think the initial word mark looked somewhat forced from what was already in place. I like the current logos/uniforms because they seem to return to the simplicity of the Louie days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
