Unless he was referring to the fact that the symbols in the red field should be white, not black. But creating a rectangular version of the only flag in the world that is not rectangular seems reasonable. I think the symbols on the red field are white, they just appear darker because they're sewn on top of a colored field and the lighting/shade are throwing things off (same effect on the flags of the Netherlands Antilles, Nauru, and Namibia nearby, and Pakistan over to the left) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good catch on that. So, then, what's the problem with using a rectangular version? You'll note also that all the flags have the same dimensions, despite the fact that some flags' official versions are in the ratio 2:3, some are in the ratio 1:2, and some are in other ratios. I'd say that both of these adjustments represent standardisations that are within reasonable bounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to gather a bunch of pictures of all the different set ups depending on stadium. At the Astrodome, what was put on the field where the dugouts were? Was that just a rubber mat laid over concrete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgiff17 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Denver Minnesota Oakland have to be the best setups I’ve seen. I understand the growth of the nfl made mount Davis happen but in the photos it looks like they pushed the field out from the other part of the stadium which looked to be the best seats in most stadiums at that time with how close to the action you were. The simple temp seats on the sideline of an nfl stadium just doesn’t cut it in this generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at more pics Oakland could have easily made a connecting piece that continued the same design of the stadium that wasn’t crazy but retracted back and forth like the Denver one. That way the view would still be there and there would be more seats but all without the crazy orice tag and without the height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except those light standards... their placement is very odd seeing as it blocks views of both the scoreboard and from any of the currently unusued seats behind them.

But they did that in 2003 when they signed the deal with U.S. Cellular, although it had been kind of weird the last few years since U.S. Cellular hasn't served the Chicago market since 2012. The biggest problem with Guaranteed Rate is the down arrow logo, which is just kind of embarrassing imagery for a sports team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
