I'm sure they could find a way to make it a "tribute" to Native Americans or something (like many other native identity-changing teams have done). That... Would be perfect!

CS85 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I'm hoping for the MLB equivalent of Steely McBeam. Imagine an anthropomorphic airplane in a baseball uniform.

Seasons are different than years, because Season 1 happens in Year 0. The Rockies' 25th season was in 2017. The Rockies' 25th anniversary year is in 2018 (1993-2018).

Their 25th season was 2017. This year will be their 26th. It sounds weird but literally using your fingers to count their seasons starting with 1993 helps it make sense.

phutmasterflex Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 The ribbon covering the 60 looks really bad... 60 looks really tall Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Yeah, that’s pretty bad. Shame, because the rest of it is great. Arch the ribbon enough to put the 60-plate underneath, and call it a day. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Wind of Doom Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Family business has kept me away through all that division/retired number talk. Was going to comment, but after starting and stopping, I don't have the mentality for the deep dive I had planned. Suffice to say, the weight of a division championship depends on the franchise's history, their recent fortunes, and a number of other factors that are unique to every situation. The idea that it doesn't matter for anyone is laughable. When the Rays won the pennant in 2008, they didn't hang an American League Championship banner. Opening day of 2009 they raised a League Championship banner and an American League East Champions banner because for that franchise and especially at that time even though they won the pennant that year the division championship was still important to them. As for retired numbers, the hall of fame shouldn't be a prerequisite. It should be about the person's importance to the team. Think of it as the argument that always gets brought up about the term MVP. Should the MVP be the best player in the league, or (as the name suggests) the most valuable player to their team. The hall takes in a person's worth to overall baseball, while a retired number should celebrate the person's worth to the team.

On the bird theme someone had mentioned previously, they could have a Red Eagle. Would be a unique bird and also a reference to a figure of the local tribe, covering all bases.
