Good news! GW and a company called Kampus Klothes are selling customizable GW basketball jerseys. I'm glad, it's been several years since you could buy a jersey. The deadline to buy them is December 21st, so move quickly!
The jerseys are customizable, so you can put your name or some other name on there, but there is a caveat: you can't use any current or former players' names, due to licensing and such.
I tried just "Yuta" with number 12, to see if maybe just a first name was OK, but they refunded my order.
So here are a few other ideas from us at Colonial Hoops.
- George, #21 or #76
- A classic, with 1821 for GW's founding or 1776
- Revolutionary or Revs, #76
- Other famous revolutionaries with related years, like when they started their struggle, or won in some cases
- Guevara #53 or #59, Zapata, Castro, Lumumba, Robespierre #93, L'Ouverture #91, etc.
- GW dorms, like New Hall, Ivory Tower, Thurston with numbers like the streets
- New Hall #23, Thurston #19, etc.
- Smith, #22 or #23
- For our beloved Smith Center and the streets it's on
- Whale Killer, #21
- After Pops Mensah-Bonsu (I am guessing nicknames are OK)
- Auerbach, #40 or #2
- Red Auerbach, GW alum and Hall of Fame coach. He graduated from GW in 1940 and had the number 2 jersey retired by the Celtics (in honor of him being the 2nd most important coach after the team's founder)
- Lindys, #00 (or any number)
- The great former campus bar, Lindy's Red Lion at 20th and I
Those are just a few ideas. What do you have in mind?
