Title: the nickname "blackshirts"
Post by: pissclams on March 30, 2015, 08:35:50 PM
should we nab it as our own while Nebraska still sucks?  i was reading in the spring game thread that our D is going to be pretty salty next season.

i think it would be a good idea to rebrand ourselves the blackshirts lynch mob while nebraska works to rebuild their program from the ground up.

i am not pretending to think people would completely forget about Nebraska in year 1 of the blackshirts lynch mob, but after year 2?  anything is possible.

Blackshirts? Sounds racist. Let's just stick with Lynch Mob.

make an outstanding play on defense?
you've been awarded a blackshirt
you've joined the blackshirts lynch mob

play bad on defense?
you have lost your blackshirt
you're now on the lynch mob only defense

What if we just gave players flair? They could get special pins for big tackles or fumbles and every win you get a slightly bigger, slightly shinnier piece of flair. Young players would look in awe upon all the pieces of flair bedazzling the jerseys of our Seniors and would be extra #incentivized.

I like the idea. We could discuss whether or not LHCBS is handing out blackshirts at spring practice or not. You know, if our players have yet to earn them.

Friendship beads on the laces of their shoes. Trainer would take away their cleats after each game and weave in the beads earned for great plays. Come back for the next football practice and compare beads. BOOM! INCENTED!


Gonna win 'em all!

when our defense is trash we could just take the shirts away from them as an additional motivator to not be so terrible.

The inherent challenge, as I see it, is that if our defense sucks (like Nebraska's) then our neat little shirt idea might be made fun of with names like "pinkskirts", etc.

Taunting bad defense with various pastel colored shirts seems appropriate.

Couple thoughts.  Yes, teh name is open for the taking.  No one cars about some loser team in a one team conference.

But hasn't the name itself becomse associated with being kind of soft?  Like "hey Zack did you see how bad Minnesota pile drove the :airquotes: blackshirts on saturday?"

not sure if we want it?

since 99% of our players are former walkons maybe we could call them the grayshirts.

We should award the outstanding and deserving defensive players a short hanging rope.  They could wear team like a "LYNCH MOB TIE" with a small length of purple rope running across the chest to belly button.  :lynchmob:
