Hustle hard and run shit! --Flag nor Fail

FYI- flag nor fail is a line from a 1940 Winston Churchill speech.
"We shall not flag nor fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France and on the seas and oceans; we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be; we shall fight on beaches, landing grounds, in fields, in streets and on the hills. We shall never surrender..."

That speech is awesome.... along the lines of war/churchill speech... would be cool to see a war/battle/camo theme. Hell, how many times have "YOU" or anyone said something along the lines of this lifestyle being a war or a battle with yourself and the iron?

Other than that.. these r themes I have thought of...

1) Red White and Blue
2) Red and Yellow HULKAMANIA style... (boas not included)
3) Black and Silver

Black shirt w/ flag. Would make it "pop" more.. and I'd like a cool saying as far as the Legion is concerned..

"We Support our TROOPS"
"United We Stand.."

Something along those lines.

Yeah it is good timing (completely forgot) and we have done everything from red, yellow, black, jerseys, zip hoods (last year), work shirts, and even the green military iconic shirts too.... would be cool to do one to match the green shirt where we "supported our troops" when they were overseas, and now to "welcome them home" now that it's over. Something to think about...

If not, I vote bring back the zip hoodies... dark grey with black writing.

I think an Iconic decked out in camo (desert would be pretty bitchin) would be pretty damn cool.

Also, I don't think there's been anything done in blue yet.

I'm all for patriotism, and I'm damn proud to be an American. I think it's downright awesome what Animal has done in support of causes such as the Wounded Warrior Project, and the other promos and what not in support of our brothers and sisters serving our country in the military.

That being said, I don't think the theme should be America based. Animal is an international brand. While the majority of the Forum members and Cage visitors are Americans, there are people from all over the world who are on this site and who come to The Cage. In my opinion, Animal transcends one nation or one group of people, almost a nation in and of itself.

Now that would be a badass theme...Animal Nation. It really hasn't been done before (at least not that I'm aware of) and 2012 would be a perfect time to do it considering that the Forum will be five years old next month.

About 10-15 minutes from downtown (both West and East on I-70), you can get a room for about $80-$100 a night, sometimes less. Downtown it would probably run well over $100-$150, if there are even any left.

Hard to say...some years it has been pleasant, with temps staying in the 50s-60s, other years (like the last two years) it can be pretty chilly (30s-40s) with rain/snow and what not.

Odds are it will be too cold to camp...it is Ohio so you never know. For a couple years we had freaky warm weather in the 60's and it was awesome, but last year it was raining and pretty damn chilly.

I have stayed both within walking distance and a short 15 min drive. I liked walking everywhere better but you have to book the rooms a year in advance and they are a little more pricey but not horrible. It wasn't bad driving into town everyday either.

The theme of the cage whatever it is will be very cool no doubt. But if it were up to me I'd have the theme center around the fact that people like us (animal athletes and dedicated forum members) are a dying breed. In this bodybuilding world as we know it right now its all smoke and mirrors and fluffy photo shoots and fake weights. Animal and its athletes don't compromise or conform , while everyone else's tweets about their fuckin workout we're still in the gym doing ours.

Promote the idea that people coming by the cage are witnessing the last of a dying breed of freaks and true bodybuilders. Fuckin shirts that say "all go no show" lol or "the last of a dying breed"

What's sets us apart is with us u get the straight fuckin goods. I can only speak for myself but I don't bullshit or sugar coat my opinion of something or someone. If u ask me that's something that's missing in this industry of phony companies and false idols.

That's what I'm sayin bro. A lot of people think goin to the Arnold is all about grabbing free t shirts samples and autographsfrom all the different booths as part of the experience, I could care less about that shit...I prefer hanging at the Cage all day for the past few years now with real dudes who love the sport and lifestyle. Animal/Universal is one company who cares about it's athletes and fan base unlike the phony companies you mentioned, which I agree with.

I think I saw your first quote "smoke and mirrors" on facebook, didn't I? In any case, that's why I've been to the cage since 2009, and spent 90% of my time there. I had lots of friends ask me "Why didn't you get your picture taken with the pros?" and "Didn't you see the other booths?" and I had to say "Why? I came to visit the buds I hang with on the forum. Animal's the only place that does it right. I'm not going to stand in line for 45 minutes for a pre printed picture of a pro, signed without him hardly looking at me. If I'm going to see a pro, I want to be able to talk with him or her, and Animal does that. Why should I go elsewhere?".

I -think- we met last year, but am not entirely sure. It was a blur

what if you did a mix of Universal old school with the traditional Animal. like the cage part decked out Animal Styles and to the back by the shop part make it Universal style you know like old School? for the shirts do a mix of both have a Universal logo on top of a Animal logo or something? get the best of both worlds

Thinking about this some more, how would you answer this thread? With colors? With images of what will be sold? or does this thread get answered properly when you are in the Cage? I looked at last year's thread and it wasn't really answered, just a lot of guessing at what people would like to see...

THIS ^ would be very cool. Or a split cage. one side animal, and the other side Universal.

I wouldn't disagree with that. What is the Arnold Classic without Animal, anyway. Definately would not be the same.

The theme of the cage whatever it is will be very cool no doubt. But if it were up to me I'd have the theme center around the fact that people like us (animal athletes and dedicated forum members) are a dying breed. In this bodybuilding world as we know it right now its all smoke and mirrors and fluffy photo shoots and fake weights. Animal and its athletes don't compromise or conform , while everyone else's tweets about their fuckin workout we're still in the gym doing ours.

Promote the idea that people coming by the cage are witnessing the last of a dying breed of freaks and true bodybuilders. Fuckin shirts that say "all go no show" lol or "the last of a dying breed"

What's sets us apart is with us u get the straight fuckin goods. I can only speak for myself but I don't bullshit or sugar coat my opinion of something or someone. If u ask me that's something that's missing in this industry of phony companies and false idols.

I'm down with the "last of a dying breed" theme. That would be pretty kick ass, have that as the slogan on some of the LE tees, sick as hell! Either way, I'll be there reppin' Animal all weekend! Great post Mike!

I've been thinking why don't you just bring your person that does your nails and stuff with you to Ohio? That way she can match you up accordingly right on the spot?

That's what it's ALL about... The ability to be yourself within a world of differences forgotten if only for a few days a year... Go on with your dorky self... You do it BEST!!! ;)

Of course that just covers me for the ABC. I don't know what gear I'll go with the rest of the weekend.
