SU went with “Annihilate Gate” for its week one slogan; we had other ideas.
Along with partner Driver’s Village today, the Syracuse Orange unveiled the season’s first game-themed button, referencing week one opponent Colgate:
They went with “Annihilate Gate” — which rhymes, so that’s cool. But doesn’t “annihilate” seem a bit harsh? Colgate’s an FCS team. That’s what we’re supposed to do them anyway, even if we don’t explicitly say it.
Since we couldn’t leave well enough alone here a TNIAAM, we went and designed some alternative buttons for Syracuse to consider, along the same general line of thinking.
