Sconnie Nation   Add to Favorites   Flag

  1. Sconnie Nation is the Wisconsin lifestyle business founded by two UW-Madison students, Troy Vosseller and Ben Fiechtner. They sell "Sconnie" branded apparel, including the famous Sconnie signature tee that is red and says Sconnie in white capital letters across the chest. They now have a storefront on State Street and do custom screen printing through Underground Printing.

  2. Um... I've lived in Wisconsin since birth and I proudly consider myself a Sconnie!

    (better than being a Coastie...)

  3. I've lived 34 of my 35 years in Wisconsin, and 33 of those in the Madison area. I've NEVER heard anyone from Wisconsin call themselves a "Sconnie"...

  4. A business started by two UW students in their Lakeshore dorm room. They had a handful of t-shirts made that donned the original Sconnie logo and soon sold them all to friends in the dorm. Seizing the opportunity, they trademarked the term "Sconnie" and started spreading the word--and their t-shirts--around Madison. Sconnie Nation now sells its t-shirts outside Badger sporting events, on its website, at its State Street store, and at the University Bookstore.

  5. Two former students of the UW ripping off people in this town by convincing them that "Sconnie" is actually a true term for people form this state. Any true Wisconsinite has their most popular "design," the white collegiate letters on a red shirt, in its true form: Official University Label and "Wisconsin" spelled out on the front. Also, any true Wisconsinite probably owns at least five of these shirts. Don't be fooled, hit up Steve & Barry's for the true gear.

  6. A company trying to push "Sconnie" as a word describing people from Wisconsin. No self-respecting Wisconsinite would ever call themselves a "Sconnie." Nevertheless, they sell shirts with this all over the place.

Past Words of the Day

Slugging is a form of hitchhiking in DC that benefits both the hitchhiker and the driver. The driver can use the much faster HOV lane after taking on a passenger.

A reference to the Detroit Red Wings hockey team when they lose.

So it's officially the South Lake Union Streetcar but what fun is that? The SLUT is short for the South Lake Union Trolley. The SLUT even has its own t-shirts that read "Ride the S.L.U.T."

Forbes Magazine bestowed this honor upon the Mile-High city in light of its record breaking contraceptive sales.

A local motto in recent years used to promote the city’s eccentricity and diversity. It's featured on innumerable bumper stickers and t-shirts.

The 13th step of the State Capitol Building (on the west side) happens to be situated exactly one mile (5280 feet) above sea level.
