Damn y’all are part of the problem! Put the U City map on our court? WTF? Did you not read on the last page where I said we need to put a NC map on our field? We need to do that on everything with our pick ax in the middle of the NC map. Screw U City, we have to take over like ECU’s doing.
I wouldn’t go that far but I am in total agreement that the name change is a big issue that needs to be tackled. With football on the horizon we should begin to focus our attention on the name change. ECU is not just a college, it’s a brand. Let’s start the University of Charlotte brand. Who’s attention and what items need to fall in place for this to happen? does anyone know?
[quote=“lake49er, post:58, topic:23613”][quote=“Universal Niner, post:56, topic:23613”]Our name is a joke. ECU doesn’t have the identity complex we have. That is probably a major reason why fans are so devout over there… because the university reaches out to the region in a big way— starting with the name.
the name, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, doesn’t give the same vibe that promotes deep pride with people in the Charlotte region. It kind of just sounds like UNC’s half hearted attempt to put it’s mark in the area. But I know, I’m preaching to the choir.[/quote] We have got to do something about this.[/quote]
THIS THIS THIS THIS!
[quote=“stonecoldken, post:20, topic:23613”]There SID is an idiot. You could only find ECU stuff in Greenville? BS.
I had an ECU t-shirt in ‘92 when I was thinking of going there or here. Guess who I couldn’t find a shirt of in Statesville, even though it’s right beside Charlotte (hour away,) but Greenville is on the other damn side of the state. We’ve always been infected with ECU stuff on this side of the state.’
& ChiSox17, ECU is usually pretty good in Football.
Part of the brainwashing to be an ECU fan is there is nothing else to do but go to Pirate games & party with Pirate fans. Here there is a lot to do, & plenty of Tar Hole fans to party with. We’d have more support if our school was in the boonies like ECU, Auburn, Clemson, etc.
ChiSox, you were the one who scared all of the little old ladies with your drunken outbursts. & NWA pissed off some old lawyer prick.
We need to get SOAR to indoctrinate incoming students. Didn’t Ben say his GF worked there? He needs to get her to do the hook up on impressionable 18-year-old minds. Make the girls think it’s cool, & make the guys think they won’t get laid if they’re not big Niner supporters!
Submarley, I still call it 1-A & 1-AA. FBS & FCS is stupid as hell.[/quote]

We should get shirts made with that logo on it.
did you make that? If so, how?
Yes I did, i found a large image of the state, used a background eraser, locked the transparency of the layer, colored it black, then pasted the logo over it. I know the background color isn’t the best, but our logo has FOUR colors in it any of which would compromise the silhouette at some places, and grey looked sad.

New t-shirt with this logo, with the slogan “Keep NC Green.” Kinda like the old school t’s we had.
I didn’t think I would have to clarify that that was a joke.

clt has said shirt.[/quote]
Hope you don’t mind. I stole that and avatarized it. 
That’s a cool picture, I think it’d make a good shirt. I still think we should go after Charlotte first before we go after NC as a whole. We need to market ourselves as CHARLOTTE’s University.

I’ll bring the green paint.
I saw a picture on here before that showed the state of NC in green, with logo’s from WF, UNC CH, Duke and NCSU, but it had our 49ers logo huge in the Charlotte area and the whole state was green.
I think it said ‘Keep Carolina Green’ or something. Cool design.
That’s quite a stretch. Basketball is horrible and has been for almost 20yrs. But baseball is almost always good, sometimes very good and football has done plenty over the last 30yrs. Saying “consistently embarrassing” is ridiculous.
