Football is a must, Roosevelt helped save the Harvard-Yale Game. Teddy had a love for the "Combative" Sports as it were. Baseball was interesting given at the time, the then Washington Senators courted Teddy hard but he never went to the games or even participated due to his bad eyesight, so I think we should do Baseball for Ironic reasons personally.

Agreed, football and baseball are two sports we should do for sure. As for the other two, my choices would be lacrosse and hockey: lacrosse because TRU would be a New England preppy-style school, so it's perfect for the type of people that would play lacrosse. I think hockey because it's in the north, and as a "combative" sport like football is, it would fit with TR's attitude.

I would be down with choosing lacrosse, because of the reasons you gave about it being a New England, preppy school. Also, for future groups (so anyone) could start up a site version of the Ivy League with other schools down the line. Also, I was on the fence between basketball and hockey, but with the reasons you gave, I'm down for hockey.

Other than that, that's a nice monogram for the school and I'm also down for using the Bull Moose as the secondary. We also could use the bear paw as the tertiary logo (if we wanted to go that far).

Also, something that I thought of just for thought with one of the names we were discussing, if this school makes any type of cinderella run in any sport, we can use the earlier nickname we discussed: The Busters

So I'm kinda now thinking about potentially doing out school in Oyster Bay which happens to be the Birthplace of one Theodore Roosevelt. So maybe doing the University of Long Island Colonels which was his Rank in the New York National Guard, the date would lend itself to the idea that the school was built to honor Teddy's Legacy. 

Ooo, I like that idea a lot. The only problem is I looked it up and Oyster Bay has a population of 293,000, which goes over our range. I googled it, and here are our choices for location: North Hempstead, Babylon, Rochester, Huntington, Yonkers, Syracuse, Ramapo, Amherst, and Smithtown. 

I also enjoy that idea, however since we can't have it at Oyster Bay, maybe we could place the university at either Babylon, Huntington, North Hempstead, or Smithtown, and still be able to keep it on Long Island.

NFL: Indianapolis Colts
NBA: Indiana Pacers
MLB: Cincinnati Reds
NHL: Eh, not really a sport I follow, but if they stayed, it would be the Atlanta Thrashers
MLS: Atlanta Unied
NCAA: Alabama
EPL: Everton

All the pro teams I follow come from me growing up in Indianapolis for a few years, even though I was born and currently live in Birmingham, AL.
