Not as catchy as Irish Mob.

I agree, doesn't have the same easy rhythm. IrishArmy, maybe? Might be too derivative but it flows better.

Hope it catches on, regardless. The recruits had a lot of fun with IrishMob last year.

Nah, but the '14 class didn't want to use "Irish Mob" they wanted something different and unique. So we gave em some options and the commits chose this one. They love it!

Oh fascinating! Didn't realize there was input from the commits. Nice work.

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:

This is phenomenal marketing. I really think the Irish Mob name/look/feel inspired the '13 class. Looks like this will do the same for the 14 kids. Anyone else feel a little uncomfortable with the whole thing though? Like, is somebody making money off this somehow or what's the deal? It's awesome that it helps the recruits feel like they're a part of something bigger than themselves, but in the end, it is branding. If the team/recruits are the only people this benefits, great. If not?

Not a fan. Irish Mob sounded kind of tough and simple- high school worthy. Golden Army seems a little contrived.

Excellent work on the graphics, though.

I suggest #NDNext, as in "the next big thing."

I immediately thought of "golden shower". Did one of the recruits come up with this?

If it's what they want, that's all that matters to me.

My only question, what were the other options?

Agreed... almost kinda chintzy to me... made me think of that crappy Hellboy movie at first. But the graphics are pretty darn awesome and maybe it will grow on me.

See, can't argue with that then. Maybe it'll grow on all of us in time.
