For years now, the slogan “We Are New York’s Team” has represented the St. John’s Men’s Basketball program. When players look down the court, they see those words embossed in the floorboards. When fans attend games at Madison Square Garden and Carnesecca Arena, the program gives away shirts donning the phrase. For many fans, it represents the city’s passion for the team and it’s stylized in a font as bold as the city itself.
Now, the team that head coach Mike Anderson has built fully embodies the city it plays in. “Last year, I got told, ‘You know what, that looks like a New York team,’” said Anderson.
