Just the other day I was walking through the Pepperdine bookstore and couldn’t help but notice the wide array of Waves merchandise on display— rows and walls covered in blue and orange. But whether it was a sweatshirt hat or flip-flops they all donned the one symbol we’ve grown to know and love— The Pepperdine “P.”
This esteemed mark of excellence stands for many things. It stands for Pepperdine no doubt but it also stands for the pursuit of perfection. The Pepperdine brand whether it’s top-notch sports or superior academics is symbolized through the P.
Someday the P will be one of the most recognizable logos in all of sports. It will be the talk of the town like rain forecasted in Los Angeles.
The possibilities are infinite. There can never be too much of the Pepperdine P in our lives. We may even get to see a few of the following.
Sports stories television promos and news clips will proudly feature the P. Raleigh Runnels Memorial Pool will take the shape of a P. Instead of stressing over As and Bs everyone will strive for Ps.
The Pepperdine P is in a word perfect. It’s the Mona Lisa of Letters the Eiffel Tower of architecture.
The future holds nothing but greatness for the brand of the P. Orange and blue P’s will be slapped across everything from golf tees to squeegees. President Andrew K. Benton will get to hang out on the tarmac at LAX waiting to board Air Force P.
It’s a good thing Sodexo fixed its Caf ratings because it for sure wasn’t about to get a P.
But wait there could be so much more.
When I step foot into Eddy D. Field Stadium to take in opening-day baseball action Feb. 21 with my popcorn and pizza in hand I want the Pepperdine P to overwhelm me—on everything and located everywhere. I want to know who’s in the on-deck P. I want the black under player’s eyes to take the shape of a P.
Maybe even a nice little three-color P tattoo laser-engraved on my patella.
It’s not enough to have the P on jerseys and jackets and shoes. The Pepperdine P is like pudding— there’s always more room for the P.
ardy too. P Diddy will be our unofficial mascot. Okay maybe not quite that crazy.
Gone will be the days of going a full 30 minutes without seeing the Pepperdine P.
………………….
Pepperdine alumnae will become true ambassadors of the P. Since we have representatives in high places this could seriously facilitate a world takeover of by the P.
Former Waves’ volleyball star Bob Ctvrtlik served as the vice president of the International Olympic Committee. Bet he could pull a few strings.
Bob do the Olympic rings look different to you?
