the new all-black away team kit came with gold vertical shoulder trim on the front that enabled the kit to be colour-coordinated with the gold and black goalkeeper strip, although it was sometimes also used with the all-green goalkeeper strip. this gold and black colour scheme was, according to its designer david blanch, intended to be symbolic of the globe covered with bees (representing the world, to all parts of which the goods of the city were exported) that was featured on the city of manchester coat of arms. that was because the manchester city teams in the past have established the unique tradition of always wearing this crest on their shirts when playing at wembley (or in a major cup final elsewhere) as a symbol of their pride in representing the city of manchester at a major sporting event. in heraldic terms, the bee was symbolic of a hive of industry, and even today the manchester bee was often used all by itself as a shorthand emblem for the city of manchester.

bullet::::- finished in 1985, redington hall was designed as a residence complex to house 244 students and accommodations for jesuit-faculty counselors. in addition to dorm rooms, the building also contains numerous study and lounge areas as well as collegiate hall, a large conference room for study, assembly, and ceremonial functions which was modeled after an early christian basilica, with a clerestory and side aisles, culminating in a four hundred square foot window. the clerestory walls are inscribed in both latin and english with the founding date of the university and lyrics from its alma mater. the buildings of redington hall form a “u” that is open to the south to take advantage of the year-round sunshine and to highlight an excellent view of south scranton. the west wing contains collegiate hall, angled to face the commons. at the northwest corner of the residence hall, there is a three-storied entry rotunda containing the stairs, lounges, circulation space, a clock tower with a carillon and a glass-pyramid roof and crucifix designed by rev. panuska. the carillon system was produced by the maas-rowe co. of escondido, california. the five largest bells in the bell tower were cast in loughborough, england by john taylor and company and range in diameter from 18 to 30 inches and in weight from 147 to 560 pounds. each is inscribed: one features a quotation from the ignatian spiritual exercises, another marks the 1888 establishment of the university and cites the university motto (religio - mores - cultura), and three others display the text of the second verse of the university's alma mater. the crucifix features a geometric corpus with head bowed, symbolizing the moment of death and illustrating the expansive love manifested by the freely chosen death of christ. the facility is named for francis e. redington and his wife, elizabeth brennan redington.
