Better than I thought it would be. Too often these things get decided by committees of people who wouldn't ever actually attend a sporting event for fun, and you end up with like the "Explorer SOAR" where SOAR is an acronym for something and there's press release that uses words like "vision" and "identity". (This isn't a thing specific to the school, its everywhere).
Simple, alliterative thing that students should be able to get creative with: a win in my book.

Yeah I am not sure I get it. If it appeals to students then great but as an alum I am struggling to get it.

I can't say whether it is or if they wanted something with an O to go with Olney and there's not much else out there. I like it because Olney is a reference you only get if you know the school and Outlaws conveys "supporters club". It works for me.

I like it. School can start selling scarves. They can also sell blue and gold vertical striped shirts to infer prisoner garb. I'd buy one. |

Maybe we can talk Christopher Walken into making an appearance? (Great series! If you haven't seen it yet. I highly recommend it. Streaming on Amazon Prime)  |

Both “3002 club” and “Explorertown” were better. Nothing western about the university. Swing and a miss.

Yeah I dunno named doesn’t really make sense…
Outlaws really have no ties at all to La Salle… but Explorer Entourage didn’t either..
At least get a name where you can weave the history of the school, de La Salle, Christian Brothers, Germantown, or, at the very least, tie in a current/pop culture events that is hip with the times, or at the very very least, a word that describes wild and crazy supportive student/fans, etc…
Outlaws just doesn’t make much sense… in the context of the school, its history or the founders…
But if the kids chose Outlaws and they support it and THEY WILL SHOW UP and hey let’s go.. I am game!
