Hey all, squid here from the Colonial Hoops blog/twitter. I've been making some GW-related T-shirts and other merch for a while and got the idea to make fun of the conference, since it's neither Atlantic nor 10. So I made these using the old school conference logo, and added other A10 school colors like red, yellow, blue, brown, green, etc. And if it's missing a color you'd like, let me know and I'll see if I can add them. I had two do two different shirts to get the colors, not each shirt had all the colors. Check them out!

Blues, red, maroon, gray, khaki, etc.

Yellow, brown, green, more blues, grays, etc.

Some examples below:

And the original buff GW version

I really do miss that old A10 logo.

It's great, right? Much better than the last two.

Coincidently I came here to post this picture. I've been buying some old Eastern Basketball Magazine editions (EB was awesome back in the day) doing a bit of research on the Gaels, and I came across this ad. I believe this is the first iteration of the A-10.

Excellent find. That would have been season 3 for the Eastern 8, as SBU is listed. They replaced Penn State that year, 1979-80. And Villanova is listed and they left the following season replaced by URI.

I believe a SBU alum was a big contributor to Eastern Basketball, IIRC. That was a great magazine, second only to MAD during my youth (and maybe SI, haha!).

In my time, Bona beat my alma mater by 20. Ugh.
You all were smart enough to be co-ed. Nice !
But don't seem to have had a mascot.

Oh wow, that's cool! Makes sense they would keep the Eastern 8 and Atlantic 10 logos similar, like how the Pac 10 kept the same style when it became Pac 12. (I wonder if they'll do the same once it becomes whatever it is next year.)

Did I recognize Bill Russell correctly sitting on the lawn in one of the pics?

You won't see Bill, but his dad might have been a freshman that year.

No wonder he looked familiar.

First two minutes or so is all that's required.

i didn’t mean it like that. I get the impression that there are a shit ton of brown tee shirts, sweaters and sweatshirts in Olen with Bona logos
