Title: For Fun!
Post by: Dreadman24 on June 04, 2012, 09:13:28 AM
We have Burton, Wilson and McKay coming in 2013. Since they are all from Milwaukee, a good nickname for them can be the MKE 3

Only for fun. feel free to post nicknames for the trio!

That sounds like something you hear on the news after a shoot out and they are giving a catchy nickname to the shooters.

I still think Milwakuee's Best is a good one and also sort of serves as a veiled recruiting tactic for the best players in Milwaukee to strive to attain.

It'd be more than a little fun if there was a way to add a fourth guy and name them The Four Horsemen.

Milwaukee's Best reminds me of homeless people buying 6 packs of that garbage "beer." We can do better.

I wasn't homeless; I lived at 18th and Wells (across from the homeless mission).

I like Milwaukee's Best as a beer and a nickname.

I believe Milwaukee's Best was the name of Latrell Sprewell's repossessed boat. Better be careful with that moniker, Spree might sue. He could probably use the cash.

I like "The Trinity" and Milwaukees Best is good because then Looney and Stone can be apart of it. I think making a nickname that could possibly include them if they choose to come to MU would be best.

Absolutely nothing including the number three. We don't want to exclude Looney and Stone. I like Milwaukee's Best. Whatever it is, 1-2 words max. More likely to flow better.

OR

Unfortunately that's Old Milwaukee not Milwaukee's Best in those clips.  Milwaukee's Best was made by Pabst, Old Milwaukee by Schlitz.  They went head-to-head in the bargain beer category.

Milwaukee's Best is made by Miller.

And Miller provides the beer for the BMO Harris Bradley Center (had to write it once), so they could possibly start offering Milwaukee's Best. Sell it for $1 less than the standard Miller products. Be a great tie-in, and while Marquette might not want to be associated with Miller products, I'm sure that Miller chooses what to offer the BMOHBC (god is that unwieldy).

BMW was used back in Texas in the 80s when Penders had Blanks, Mays and Wright.

I like the old-school feel of Run MKE.
