Forrest Thump?

For the most part, the slogans for the Citizen's Bank Buttons are pretty good.

And then there was this week's button.

FORREST THUMP.

I get the slogan.  It's a take on Forrest Gump.  The Sycamores are "the trees."  Trees make up a forest.  Forest = Forrest.  We're going to thump them on the field, or when the trees fall, they make a thump.  Hence, Forrest Thump.

But after having to explain this several times this week, I realized that sometimes you can get too cutesy and cerebral with the slogans.

Maybe Sic 'em Some More?

One of My Favorite Years--for Football AND buttons!
