Before Boston and NJ Strong there was Vermont Strong - after the Tropical Storm Irene Flooding.
Wonder how far we can go back looking for the "strong" theme.
Thank you! And, btw, that “jersey strong” slogan was around for a long time before Sandy hit. I never knew what it was about, but I was seeing it on bumper stickers for years before the storm. I always thought it was for some gym or fitness chain, but I never did find out for sure.
Googling now it appears there’s a soccer club by that name, don’t know if it was borrowed from them, but I guess it belongs to everyone now.
The way these people advertised their shirt is certainly in bad taste, how about just a nice “go blackhawks” or something?
