'14 Golden Army

"The legendary Fianna of Ireland were a band of mighty noble warriors. Entrance was governed by strict tests and codes of honour. Yet the Fianna also had to be knowledgeable of culture, and more specifically they had to be poets. Their leader, Fionn mac Cumhal, got his poetical and Bardic training from an old Bard Finnegas on the banks of the river Boyne (note he was close to water, the element which rules the intuition and emotions).

I agree, nothing beats Irish Mob (but maybe I'm biased since i came up with it lol). But you gotta go with what the kids choose...afterall, it is their class!

Graphics are awesome, and if Justin Brent came up with the name, then write it in stone as far as I am concerned.

I guess, but it seems like this was hardly an organic creation. It sounds like someone presented 4 recruits with a few choices and told them to pick a motto.

Excellent work. My only gripe is that the armored knight isn't Irish (at least not in an obvious way).

Any chance we could get a Celtic warrior instead of a non-descript knight? Something like this:

celtic-viking-warrior.jpg

+1

It also would have been cool if other IE members had input like we did last year....

Is that a portrait of Niklas?!

If the '14 players love GoldenArmy14 then so do I. But it doesn't hurt to throw some ideas around:

#CelticRise14
#CelticStorm14
#GoldRush14

Well when we get more in the class they can give input. It may change.

Won't change.. It will be similar to IrishMob13 where the first few verbals choose it from a list , blow it up on twitter and the rest follow suit.

I'm listening to Kelly's presser right now and he's dropped "IrishMob" twice in the first 20 minutes.. pretty exciting.

I don't have a problem with the name which is more important than the picture (which I also agree with others in that it looks like Army and should be an Irish dude). There is a little room for change right now but IMO once Junior Day rolls around there, the name and picture will be cemented probably.

So how many signees are we looking at for this class? What are our needs?

Agreed.. I just think once the name is out there it should just stick.. Jay Hayes is already spreading it and what not.

It's not an IE thing...this is a 2014 class recruit thing. They chose a name, just like last year, from some names thrown out to them when they asked for input. They had their own ideas and ran with what they liked the most. IE doesn't name the class, the class names themselves and they chose Golden Army '14

Guess they'll learn early in their careers: Embrace the Hate

I don't have any problem with the name, sorry if I missed a day when one of the commits asked for ideas on Twitter or just decided in private or something

btw, im not trying to "hate", pretty sure I PM'd you even before you did stuff for TP that I liked the graphics you had made for various things

and if u and TP didn't come up with the name, why so defensive of it?

You, Wildman and TP do great work for our recruits. It's much appreciated.

Most of those who responded here acknowledged that, like or it not, the Golden Army was chosen by the 2014 commits, so it's not up for debate.

No need to get defensive.

Sorry didn't mean to get defensive. It's kinda humorous to me actually because there are some people who thought it was up for debate or they were supposed to be in on the decision LOL
