  1. Me. I bought several Rams caps when they moved back to LA. Also have at least one cap of most of the other teams, even if I don't wear them.
  2. Very likely will be some kind of Disneyland motif. Beaches are generic and can be associated with any part of SoCal.
  3. So where are all the people who trusted the NHL and parroted the "the ads on the helmets are just for one season, it won't be extended" now? Because I think anyone with a brain knew this was going to happen. It's creeping normality. You start on the helmets, for just one season. You extend it another season. Then you allow it on the sweaters. And then it's normal. The NBA opened the door to this, it was inevitable. For the NBA, it was merely "an experiment." NHL claimed it was to "recover pandemic losses." It's like all those fees airlines added after 9/11, then they never went away.
  4. And I don't see it succeeding the third time, either. Then it will have a fourth relaunch. And so on. If it succeeds, great. But I just don't ever seeing it work out. For all the faults the NFL has, it's also clear that people don't really want anything much different. If ratings of other football attempts are anything to go by.
  5. This has happened before. When Apple released macOS 8 in 1997, it was a very minor update. In fact, it was originally intended to be released as macOS 7.7. The reason it was changed was solely to shut down the Macintosh clone market, which had licenses to run System 7, but nothing newer. Under the hood, it had no new kernel, no new APIs, nothing of significance. Whereas the later macOS 8.5 actually was significant. So it's happened before. And version numbers are always arbitrary to an extent. The first major release of Windows NT was 3.1, as opposed to a 1.0, simply to keep the versioning in place with the consumer-oriented MS-DOS versions (i.e. Windows 3.1 from 1992).
  6. Perhaps. Me, I don't really care. As long as they have some consistency, that's all that matters to me. If they want to do annual version updates, fine. Although makes me wonder why they still even bother with the code names anymore.
  7. Also they are already on macOS 12, which is coming out later this year. It will be known as "Monterey." They seem to be moving macOS to annual version updates.
  8. This was actually due to poor programming practices by third-party developers. Instead of checking for "Windows 4" as they should have (since 9x was based on kernel versions 4.x), they instead only looked for "Windows 9." Which also failed because of Windows Me. And Apple did have a macOS 9. I don't know why they skipped iPhone 9, they shouldn't have. The re-released SE should have been called the 9.
  9. Not sure I agree here. An expansion franchise that made the Finals their first year, has been a contender every season since. I know you are a Habs fan, but if we look at this more critically, I'd say this has been a pretty successful logo (so far).
  10. Someone at Microsoft did say that. It was a stupid thing to say in 2015 for exactly this reason. Because plans change. The quote was in reference to Windows moving to a more service model, and it was something to the effect of "Windows 10 is the last Windows and it will be a service." It's possible the speaker (who I believe was French) meant to say "latest," in which case the quote makes a lot more sense.
  11. This isn't true, in the sense that Apple has never said anything that could be interpreted as such. The closest reference I can find is Steve Jobs referring to macOS 10 setting Apple up for the next 20 years. He said that in 2005, and macOS 11 came out last year, so it was fairly accurate.
  12. So was last year's World Series berth more of a fluke, or do they really have something there that will keep them competitive?
  13. #38 is the lowest number that has not been retired by any of the 30 MLB franchises.
  14. I'm bothered by the blue jersey using the thinner number font on the front, which is already an issue I have with the Dodgers in general. They need to be using the thicker variant, or fake it by having a color-matched outline.
  15. It's one of those "vacuum scenarios," where the identity in of itself was okay, but didn't fit the Blue Jays at all who had a great, solid identity prior. They went back to their senses from 2012 onward.
