  1. Could they get away with yellow as a base color if the blue outlines, say the blue above the navy in that picture, were thick enough on the numbers and scripts? Yellow hats, yellow socks, something like that? Rays of sunshine, the sun is yellow (as drawn by a child), and every Tampa team would be built around a different primary color.
  2. You're overthinking it. Overachieving doesn't necessarily mean complacency with the roster. As long as the Steelers can accurately judge their own talent and keep improving on what they have, there's no reason to get rid of the coach, and if they can't accurately judge their own talent and keep improving on what they have, then their problems run deeper than the coach. Best to just keep buying the lottery tickets.
  3. Fields doesn't believe that anyone can teach him anything. When the Bears started 0-4 and were making an early play for Worst NFL Team Of All Time, he said it was because the coaches were coaching him too much. I am deeply interested in seeing what Tomlin's staff will do with that winning mindset.
  4. I feel the same way about the Iowa Wolves having a superior rendering of the Timberwolves logo. It's truer to the original logo that people love for some reason. Mixed feelings on several levels with the D-league San Diego Clippers, though. The first is that it would have looked better in the original light blue and orange if you're going to go back to that name. The other is, should they have gone back to that name? There's something that doesn't sit right with me about suggesting a departed major-league team's old IP for a minor-league replacement. I felt the same way about the Connecticut Whale as farm team for the Rags. It's kind of a dunk on them that they'll never be invited back to the big table, but they can live on as a feeder for a city you used to not like.
  5. Canucks ownership was dysfunctional and in over their heads (e.g., the whole Mark Messier/Mike Keenan/Trevor Linden fiasco concurrent with the Grizzlies being dumb and bad), so they sold the team to a guy whose plan was always to move them. Toronto overcame the same dumb rules, after all. I'm not sure Memphis is really built to last as an NBA town, so maybe a move back to the ol' Chinese money-laundering scheme that thinks it's a city is still possible.
  6. The signal-to-noise ratio is off in that post, but I totally agree that you can't attribute the rise of basketball in Canada to a guy doing cool dunks on go-nowhere teams during the NBA's dark period from about 20 years ago. Michael Jordan had more to do with Canada embracing the NBA than Vince Carter did.
  7. The kelly green never looked that vibrant in action, though. These suck the exact same way the Seahawks throwbacks suck and lots of people here go nuts for those too. In both cases, navy blue and neon green look much better together.
  8. Someone has to explain this to me. All I see is a cheap version of what the Mavericks wore at the same time. The fonts don't match the ones in the logo (which don't match each other), the full team nickname doesn't fit but they didn't go with Minnesota either, I just don't get it. It looks like they ordered them from a catalogue like a suburban high school team. Was that the appeal all along?
  9. They appeal to Online and maybe also the suburbs of Raleigh
  10. It's going to be the top-left one as a spiritual continuation of the Whalers' logo, right down to claiming there's an H in the negative space.
  11. They're gaining a mailing list. Submitting your Frederick Flintstones concept is just going to get you nagged to hell about season tickets for the Spire City Parson Browns.
  12. Not sure where the Bears are going to send Justin Fields at this point. There must be so many huge offers to get such a special player that they just can't decide which one to take.
  13. The Bears' big Chicago plan is apparently "we'd help pay for something somewhere near the lake." It's light on details, but then so is the Arlington Heights plan--we've still never seen what the actual stadium is supposed to look like, just all the landscaping and the dumb little shops around it. I think they think this weak feint back to Chicago is enough to make Arlington Heights say "noooooo please don't go, we'll do anything, wink-wink. nudge-nudge. gluck-gluck." Even if it does, the county pretty clearly doesn't want this to happen, and that machine is still powerful enough to make this not worth the effort.
