  1. If anyone needed a push off the fence, I highly recommend the ad-free experience. It’s been quite some time now and I’ve had zero complaints. It’s truly a small price to pay, for me. But I know not everyone has been here for 2 decades All understandable obstacles though, Chris. As someone with very minimal knowledge on servers and site-building, I’m sure I’m not the only one who just doesn’t fully understand everything that goes into it.
  2. Yea, I’m guessing that’s probably the best way to put it. I guess it’s smart on them for having the analysis done regarding a possible merger. Curious if it was their reaction to Urbana, NDC, and others closing their doors.
  3. @MJWalker45 I can’t say I’m too surprised either, now that I’ve learned a little bit more about the universities. I had also seen that about Urbana, and soon ND College. I knew Bluffton was a private Christian school, but i just learned Findlay is too. It says both schools are coming from a good place financially, so I guess we’ll see how it goes. I’m assuming this is not much different than other similar mergers and “joint campuses”. But right now it just feels like sharing bills
  4. Oh good find @burgundy, i should have perused a little longer! I had noticed that about Bluffton name change being mentioned, but not Findlay. One of my good buddies was recruited by Findlay football(15 yrs ago), so we’re curious to see if it has any substantial impact on the level of play and recruiting landscape in the future. But obviously excited to see the “joint brand” unveiled later on.
  5. Not sure if this belongs here (or if it belongs at all)… But Bluffton University and the University of Findlay are merging. They are schools in Northwest Ohio, about 20 miles apart. Bluffton participates athletically at the D3 level (NCAA). Findlay is D2. https://www.findlayblufftonfuture.com I’m curious to see what kind of brand changes take place, it sounds like they will be standing pat until 2025ish. A lot more info to be announced, but very curious to see if they (continue to) combine their colors (Bluffton is purple, Findlay is bright orange). This is the only graphic they’ve revealed in regards to the merger, as far as I know:
  6. There’s been a few! (Although this one had no front number the first season worn)
  7. you are correct as you were. lol We'll call that subpar search terms combined with lazy skimming
  8. This is getting weird. Might just be my brain
  9. I guess if we’re getting technical the sun is classified as a star… meteors are not edit: I’m realizing i basically paraphrased what you said. For emphasis.. er something
  10. Ohio State Baseball as of today:
  11. Sharing post from UniSwag for visual reference
  12. Did they mean 30 million years? I’m no geologist, but… I’ll see myself out. The Marlins one seems like a memorial for someone who wore #30 and won two ‘ships. Or something..?
  13. Oddly enough, it was the other way around in real life. Regarding the colors. Browns practiced at BGSU in 40s and adopted their scheme. The more you know! https://sanduskyregister.com/news/297349/bgsu-inspired-browns-colors/
  14. My real issue is with the “M” cap. As everyone and their brother has noted, it is much too similar to the former Marlins cap. Especially at a distance. Not to be dramatic, but they need to address that. Fwiw, I don’t really buy the idea that it was a necessity for the fans either. If they wanted to further embrace fans from outside of the twin cities, that home alternate was certainly a choice. But I get it, caps sell. (But i don’t think this one will.) Only other gripe is the Twin Cities set. Byeeee. It adds nothing to the set. I see what they’re doing, but it’s nothing anyone wants to see more than once a year. And quite honestly looks like something they’d put on an unlicensed shirt or jersey. Edit for additional thoughts: i really do love the “cleanliness” Of the set and identity as a whole, I think minus the above this could be an instant classic. Also, I don’t find it necessary for the home script to match the road wordmark/new font, as some suggest. I get what people are saying, but to me it’s just personal preference. It’s a font now, and it *does* compliment the home script, just not how everyone wants it to. In my opinion, of course haha
  15. Dare I say it meshes with the uniform striping BETTER this way? Sign me up.
  16. “…uh…dad, are they wearing pants?”
  17. South Carolina looking mighty fine tonight. Wow
  18. Here’s a look at the Cavaliers new uniforms in game action. https://www.nba.com/cavaliers/photos/photogallery-clephi-221005
  19. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1892_Yale_Bulldogs_football_team#/media/File%3A1892_Yale_Bulldogs.jpg edit: 1892 national champs. Whatever that means, they claim 27 of them
  20. Yea, one or two VTs was probably enough edit: I’ve already looked at it too many times. Now it just looks like an odd mathematical symbol.
  21. Definitely! I just watched the video posted too. Great execution on the motion graphics, what a cool idea.
  22. I would love to know who else used this font in 2010 news to me
