The winning name came from “Tiger Nut”. Congrates.

maybe a pic of katrina with brees in the eye… but what do i know

we should sell the shirts and donate to a charity that the saints are actively a part of.

What was the final tally of votes?

   how about we split the money between the 2 charities?

How’s this for a design idea:

Have a map of the United States, with a ridiculously complex path of a hurricane travelling through every city we’ve beaten, in order, regardless of if the game was actually played there or not.

So, the dotted gold line (or whatever), would start in New Orleans, travel north to Detroit, over to Philadelphia, back to Buffalo, to New Jersey, down to Miami, back up to Atlanta, etc. If you think “Family Circus” with Jeffy, Dolly and PJ’s footprints leading all over the house, you should have a pretty clear understanding of what I mean.

At each point, have the date of the game as it would appear in a nautical log — “Detroit 13 Sep 2009” for example — along with a small dismantled depiction of that team’s mascot, as though they had been left in the wake of the storm.

We actually don’t play anyone west of Dallas, so you could really end the map there, thereby allowing the map and images to be a little bigger (and more recognizable) on the t-shirt.

There would be a couple of unknown playoff teams towards the end of the path, but since we don’t know who those will be, we could just leave them off.

The final leg of the path would be from Charlotte moving south. The hurricane itself would be a swirling fleur-de-lis. This can easily be achieved through Photoshop. Swirling an image is one of the visual effects on there.

It would be lingering over the eastern seaboard of Florida, just a little south of Jacksonville, with the projected path pointing it towards Miami for the second time. You could have the Lombardi Trophy down there, next to the dead dolphin, just to symbolize the ultimate goal.

Above the map, the words “The Perfect Storm” in gold, all on a black t-shirt. I tried to think of some kind of clever by-line … “Beware the Brees” … I dunno. Probably should just leave well enough alone and let the imagery speak for itself.

   I can get my daughter to work on something if you guys give me a good idea if you want. She is really good with photoshop and other programs just like that.

could also be: The Coaches, The Players, and The Fans!

Just throwin’ that out there.

You never had the “Superbowl” poll of choices with just the top 3 elligible for picking.

Considering the final tally of the last list had the top 3 at 28, 26, and 26 percent, it might be important to have those three against each other and see where the field choices fall in regards to them, so there is a clear cut winner prior to making T-shirts.

I’d feel better about moving forward with a project if I knew we had majority support for certain. If there are only the three to choose from, and Perfect Storm wins out by a 10% or more margin, then the voters for the other two may be more inclined to concede and participate in the T-shirt buying.

Simply put, a clearly defined winner will make people more comfortable in supporting the name and T-shirts instead of running into “silent” opposition. Just a thought.

let’s see how it shakes out when it’s down to the top 3 choices if we are going to do shirts and throw money into it.

Well… if anyone has read the original book by Junger that boat sinks…

You might want to reconsider that name…. lol

.. but the book defintely better than the movie (yet again)

  asked several people today at work & they didn’t get A Perfect Storm, but did get Category
5. hate 2 say it but some were giant fans. they also suggested Bourbon Street Brawlers. Hey just MHO

regardless, I won’t be buying a "perfect storm" T-shirt

I thought that we could do something for charity and have a great nickname for the 2009 Saints. But people just can’t agree on anything.

Oh well, I tried.
