Title: Harvard Hockey T-Shirt Slogan Contest
Post by: TimV on October 19, 2010, 05:17:17 PM
I am not making this up. In my email (On the list from prior ticket purchase) I got the folowing invitation:

QuoteAttention Harvard Students,
The Harvard hockey season is upon us and we want YOU to pick the slogan for the first give-a-way!To kick off the season, 250 student t-shirts will be given away at the Men's Hockey home opener vs Union on November 5 at 7 p.m. The only thing we are missing is a slogan!  
 
Submit your best slogan today on Facebook! Visit www.GoCrimson.com/HockeySlogan, click to attend the Facebook event, and post your slogan on the event wall.  If yours is chosen, it will be printed on 250 t-shirts and given away to the first 250 students at the Friday, November 5th Men's Hockey game!  Hurry, the deadline for submission is Friday, October 22nd at Midnight.


I don't know if I'm up to the task. It'll have to be good enough for 225 vsiting team fans to want to wear after the usual 25 students show up and claim their shirts.

I'm sure you all can help me.  Whadaya say Trotsky, billhoward,  ugarte, et al?::banana::::banana::::banana::

I got this in my e-mail and was a little surprised that they'd send it to the list of anyone who has purchased tickets in the past.  That's a rather broad audience to be asking for a team slogan.

I wonder how many on the list are "cornell.edu" emails.

Harvard Hockey:  We have to give you t-shirts to get you to show up.

Makes me want to go back for this year's game and bring along suitable (eyes of the beholder) Harvard slogan T-shirts.

I'm free-associating here: Erich Segal ... money ... "Bright" Center ... money ... grades ... grade inflation ... privilege ... empty seats ... bridge named after your college ... seafood ... schrod or scrod ...

The official winner will be something like: HARVARD HOCKEY - THE LOVE STORY CONTINUES. They'll probably put 'Love Story' in quotes to make sure everyone gets the play on words.

Only 250?  I know, I know, that may still exceed the number of people who show up.  But as a public service, shouldn't they hand one out to everyone who attends, just to provide something that could be used to shield one's eyes against the glare from Teddie's dome?

So Teddy's still there and hasn't been let go over the summer?

Oh My Lord.

I foolishly allowed my curiosity to get the best of me and went and visited the site.  Don't Do That.  Some of the suggestions are bad beyond any conceivable level of wretchedness.

Please, PLEASE, help me to un-see that!

I see what you mean, I want to wash my eyes out with H2SO4. On the other hand there is one that could be improved by just changing the last d to an f

Harvard Ice Hockey - that's the smell of ultimate dedication!
Go Crimson!

Google shows eLynah's thread (this) ranking higher than the Harvard T-shirt contest on Facebook.

This suggestion has a nice edge (are we all reading it the same way?):
One Team, One Goal

If only some of them did have to pay for their mistakes.
