Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

New Logo for the Texas Tech Defense!

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=143837&l=d74bf&id=1355409060

I was talking with my brother who commented that the Texas Tech Defense needed a better name than the swarm and needs a defining logo. That it needed a more menacing name something that puts a thought of dread in your mind when you see it.  So I drew up this idea which he liked and suggested that I post it to other Tech fans.

Since I am still having problems posting pics and if the link does not come up,

Good Idea......

But we can’t use “wrecking crew”. That’s for aggie. Back when they had a great defense in the eighties and nineties.

… looks like an 7th grade art project. Sorry man.

Also, we sadly can’t use the “wrecking crew” defense since that’s what the A&M defense of the 1980’s was known as. I think the pirate thing is a little bit too far. It should be an accent to the TTU fanbase, not a new mascot.

I did it in under 2 minutes

I am not trying to make a professional appeal. Just a concept Idea which this is more than good enought for that purpose.

The wrecking crew thought

Was because we use that term in one of our songs and it does have a pirate type theme.

Even so

Throw out wrecking crew! Make it just the Black Death Defense!

nah, too wordy. sorry bro.

How about

“Black Swarm Defense”? It kinda goes with our aptly named “Air Raid Offense”. So we RAID them on Offense, SWARM them on offense. And the names conjure up F-E-A-R!!!!!!!!!!!! And no pics, just the name….Brutal enough by itself..

It's a Nice Thought

That’s about it

Let’s build a tradition of great defense first, the nicknames can come later.

swarm is tight

so is air raid…. and the video that has the pirate flag behind swarm… is awesome

by johnlaf13 on Nov 10, 2008 1:19 AM CST reply actions  

yeah, but our swarm is better and that name isn’t tainted like wrecking crew.

I like Black Ice..

They played a video to ACDC’s new song with clips of our players. I Love it!

HEY PABLO

The KIDS DRAWINGS GOTTA GO.

It was a concept Idea

Geez, what did you expect, a 40 hour piece of work expecting perfect everything.

It was a concept drawing. Concept drawings are never never perfect.

If people liked the idea, I would have modified it with scroll letters.

But if you want to spend the hours it takes to make a perfect drawing that is perfect in every way, be my guest.

If you want to pit best drawing against best drawings, I would win in the end against most. There are several artist that are way way better than myself.

But for a computer quicky that was done in 2 minutes. well there you go. Could you do that well in 2 minutes. Geez, give me a break!

That’s pretty cold.

Ehh

The wrecking crew is kind of taken…maybe the Wreck ’em crew, though?

by Tech92 on Nov 11, 2008 4:51 PM CST reply actions  

how about...

The Flying Matadors?

or just plain….The Matadors!!! (a little old school shout out!)
