Why...wouldn't we choose Stanford?

Well, I'm with WIM. They must've run up against a deadline.

Yep, just a bit less inspiring than "Intellectual Brutality" or "Fear the Tree"

But still better than "We Work" - in the middle of an economic downturn...

Just saw the "Choose...." TV ad on the P12 Network Cardinal Training Camp preview. It's ok; professionally done. Also, Remound Wright has really really short T-Rex arms. But he looks built. BJS and CMac also look a bit bulkier.
Also interesting to hear Nick Aliotti on the show, former Oregon DC and now P12 analyst. Looking forward to hearing his opinions as the season goes on.

Please be our spokesmen!

When you don't have anything good as a phrase. Just use adjectives that describe what you are, like maybe:
Power. Will. Precision.
In the future, I suggest the Stanford Football marketing department consult this board for guidance!
Re: Seems like a weak slogan - winflop - 08-22-2015
The Chicago Bulls have used "See Red" for years - and it works.
Why is there a compulsion to change things every 3 years or so? And what's wrong with "Fear The Tree"
Re: Seems like a weak slogan - OutsiderFan - 08-22-2015
What could possibly be better than "Intellectual Brutality" for a football team from a school that doesn't compromise intellectual values? Why would you ever change that?
Re: Seems like a weak slogan - ChicagoCard - 08-22-2015
A bit heavy-handed for my taste. Personally, I kind of liked fear the tree. Or even just go card although I guess that would be lame for a poster.
Re: Seems like a weak slogan - needle - 08-22-2015
Even just "Cardinal and White" would have made for a better poster.
Maybe they were going for an election meme (like pres. and vice pres. candidates)? Probably not, but if so, 2016 would have been a better year for that.
Some alternative slogans - Mick - 08-22-2015
Seven days without football makes one weak.
Your parents come to watch Stanford play.
Our blood, our sweat, your tears.
Teamwork makes the dreamwork.
It's hard to play against us. It's harder to play for us.
If you can't play clean, play for C.al.
If you can't play nice, play for us.
We got bigger balls than baseball players.
PoweRED.
Rudy was offsides.
We bust ours to kick yours.
We talk with our pads but play with our heart.
If you can't take a hit, stay off the grass.
Sweat makes the green grass grow.
There's no traffic on the extra mile.
If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch.
Trample the weak. Hurdle the dead.
Drive. Desire. Destiny.
Teamwork makes the dream work.

Slogan for a new slogan: More Tree, Less Arcane

Meh. Looks like we're definitely going with the tree/block S helmet. Double meh.

This made me laugh harder than it probably should have. Bravo!
Still, "Choose Cardinal and White" is better than Washington's recent "Wear Purple / Be Gold" campaign.

Two words: "We work"

Re: Seems like a weak slogan - Stymie - 08-25-2015
"We're OK, are you OK?" would have been much stronger......
