As the country churns towards the November presidential elections, the distinctions between parties sometimes blurs. The red states; the blue states…very soon we will see the supposed delineation between states all over the media.
But in Natick, red and blue will make its first appearance on September 12th on the football field at Natick High School. Apparently the NHS football team will represent the true spirit of bipartisanship when they take to the field as the “Red and Blue.”

High School officials have decided that the “Red and Blue“ is the new nickname for Natick’s sports teams.
The team’s colors have now become the team’s name due to town offficials deciding to retire the “Redmen” team name. A decision made despite the overwhelmingly positive vote of townspeople to keep the name.
The Redmen had a long and illustrious history in Natick. For instance, the infamous “Hail Mary Pass” was executed by Redmen alumnus Doug Flutie during Boston College’s signature football game against the championship University of Miami team. A team thought to be unbeatable by sports experts nationwide.
The start of the new football season is sure to bring surprise. It certainly is bringing change.
The Red and Blue….???
What do you think?
Does the new nickname “do it” for you?
Does a dynasty define itself by its colors?
How will headlines look? “The Red and Blue” of Natick Take to the Field!”
Will the public think a political meeting is taking place at the stadium??
Will media report that the “Red and Blue“ was black and blue after today’s game??
The branding of a legacy is serious business.
Your thoughts??

Boston has long been known for brewing revolutions. It started with the tea, and has since evolved into throwing out clothes at the Natick Collection in Massachusetts, to protest the excessive packaging commonly found in the beauty and cosmetics industries.
THE NATICK COLLECTION

“Ask Me Why I’m Naked,” a shrewd marketing campaign to highlight the environmental impact on our communities and our planet, resulted in employees of the LUSH store in Natick shedding their personal excessive packaging. Employees, clothed in only aprons and sandals, spent the day educating consumers on what they can do to protect the environment by changing their buying behavior.
And while most trends come from the West coast and spread East, getting out this particular environmental message began in Boston and traveled to Scottsdale, Arizona!
Shoppers at the Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall were also treated to the message of the very real problems we face as the result of our growing landfills.

Scottsdale’s environmental soldiers were out in full force at LUSH, while patrons envisioned the 79.6 million tons of packaging thrown out yearly. LUSH products come with little or no packaging, as demonstrated by their employees…
