Promoting the club

**Aberdonian Stu** · 04/08/2005, 11:47 AM

No I've got it they're trying to make people associate the college with big boobs by calling it University College DD.

That'll get the classy upmarket crowd in.

Is there any chance the club won't follow suit? Anyone know how long we had the old crest? It does seem very stupid we've dumped the mottos.

I would say quite a strong chance. Sure, the shorts for the current kit still hav'n't arrived from O'Neills. There's little chance of a new kit any time soon.

I'd say they'll change when they next change kit. I remember Shakespeare saying we were using the "old" crest when we got the scarves in, around a year ago!

That confused the hell out of me, I thought it was all one motto.

On the contrary, a new design to sell to those who bought the old ones.

Ad Astra is Latin, "to the stars". The other one is Gaeilge, how does it translate lads?

"Through your own efforts"? Seems to suit the idea of college too.

I wonder do students associate with the new crest any better? Do we have any tangible evidence of the benefits of changing crest? Load of rubbish, to be honest.

We haven't made the money back on the first crop of scarves, so there's no chance we'll be doling out on another batch! It can be our protest against the new crest!

Pineapple are you going to be having a word with McNally about the points of our meeting?

**pineapple stu** · 04/08/2005, 6:55 PM

Incidentally, Schumi, did I see the new tricolour/crest flag sneaking in its debut in Dalyer on Friday? Reckon we sue Brady for the costs of changing!

**Poor Student** · 04/08/2005, 7:22 PM

Eh Pineapple? My question.

**pineapple stu** · 04/08/2005, 7:27 PM

My answer a few posts back?

Will be talking to him at the match tomorrow. Try and get a time to meet up. Maybe after this match on Sunday he's (apparently) reffing for us.

Ah sorry, my fault. Forgot about that post.

As I said earlier somewhere, take the idea of linking up with the foreign language students serious, a load turned up at Dayler cheering for us.

There's a few posters gone up around the college today, I think. No others posters around really, so they should stand out as well.

Nice one. That's a bit of a start. Did you do that? The best approach though will be to contact the head of their courses. Hopefully in conjuction with some sort of group package deal you could get permission to offer of McNally.

The new crest is gank... Brady must resign

No change. Down with the new crest!
