CLEstones Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Why is this a thing now? Cities with longer names were never an issue before, but now it seems franchises are trying their hardest to condense and reduce name size on jerseys. Its 2017, we have HD and 4K TV's, we can make out the letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure I am missing someone else. But, point being ... it is dumb. I can see a point for PHX, ATL, NOLA (my favorite) and even DC. But, Rip City, Motor City, Buzz City, Clutch City -- keep them off the jerseys. "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

BBTV Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I love PHILA on the jerseys. Philadelphia is long and not aesthetically pleasing. Like my wang.

Like my wang. It looks good and is functional. Nothing wrong with it. Just correcting the claim that PHX was the first abbreviated home name on a jersey. Philly started it all.

I guess I should have clarified, meaning the current craze with it, because there was a good 30-35 years between the PHILA jerseys and Phoenix's PHX look.

More Minnesota-y would be this: Granted it's more of an abbreviation, but it's the same concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
