Cruz Azul makes cement. Why don't we make CREWDRIVERS?

scornflakes · 22 Aug 2009, 10:41 AM

Reading about the history of Cruz Azul, it turns out that the football team was originally made up of workers of Cruz Azul cement company back in the 1920s. Cemento Cruz Azul still makes cement.

So it got me thinking, with the Crew's name, crest, and construction crew concept, why hasn't the team ever private-labeled with someone like Stanley to get the crest on work-gear and tools? Imagine Lowe's and Home Depots all over the country selling "CREW BRAND" hardware and hand tools (made in the USA, of course).

So, anyone have any suggestions? For instance, I know I'd love to see "The Chad Marshall Cold Chisel" or "The Frankie Hejduk Framing Hammer" under my Christmas tree this year.

Will Hesmer work gloves?

Guille paint brushes, for painting that masterpiece?

O'Rourke meat cleavers don't exactly fit the theme of the line, but would be perfect, given his nickname...

None of you guys would be hired to do any work on my house.

I thought about (still thinking about) doing a banner with this sort of motif:

Not really copy it but something hardcore.

How about the Andy Greenbaum Hebrew Hammer?

i am up for anything that will bring in extra revenue. How about a robbie rogers router?

Heh.

Many years ago, someone had a "Crewdriver" at the tailgate, but I don't think it was the type talked about in this thread.

Great minds think alike!

I pitched this idea to hsh_b and a few others awhile back. I even did some searching for a good still frame from the movie where he was walking through the cave. I never found one that I really liked to base a banner off of. We also talked about making a large two-pole with him on it and sewing in a tap light for his head lamp!

I'd love to see this happen and would be willing to help an any way!

Tap Light

You smoke a lot of weed.

Holy shit, please do. A huge banner with that image and a tap light would be off the chain.
