  1. The more I look at the BP hats, the more I am torn on the Angels.  While I do like the retro blue brim with red bill, I might like it more with an old logo.  Possibly the lower case a with the halo above it.  So many choices.  I was even thinking of the CA logo, now that they have the state of California logo on the clubhouse caps.

  2. Cubs are wearing their CC uniforms today for the first time. Don’t know if they are going to be wearing these every Friday home game like past seasons or a one time thing since they stated they are celebrating the neighborhoods of Chicago this weekend.

    Yea those Candlestick fields where classic. I doubt they will go as far as painting the numbers and adding the extra fun stuff!

    Just like I would like the Chiefs to go this route for the AFC Championship game, but I doubt they will go this far.  At minimum I would love to see the arrowheads marking the kickoff location.

    So the Rangers just retired Vic Hadfield’s number, officially reuniting The GAG Line. This is the 2nd time the number 11 has been retired (Mark Messier). Now, what makes this unique is that it’s not the first time the Rangers retired the same number twice.

    They retired 9 twice.

    I’ve seen the Yankees retire 8 twice but is there any other team anywhere that retired 2 different numbers twice? 

    The Chicago Cubs both have 31 retired for Fergie Jenkins and Greg Maddux.

    The Chicago Blackhawks have 3 retired for Keith Magnuson and Pierre Pilote.

    I'm sure there are many teams with a number retired for more than one person.

    I still think they'd completely replace the turf for the game, so my guess is they'd use the format from the past two years. But let's hope that of the Vikings do make it, they'll change the endzone.

     

     

     

    I can speak for this year, but 10 of the 32 teams have had location in one endzone, and just team name in the other. I'm not entirely sure how those numbers have been throughout history, or just in recent years, since I'm missing a large number of fields not re-created yet.

     

    It will be interesting to see what you find.  IICR growing up, most teams had location in one and team name in the other.  It might be more of a college thing than NFL, but when I was a kid I'd make endzones for my Monday Night Football game and would have one and one thinking that was what teams had.  

    Again, great work.  

  6. I just noticed that 3 of the 4 games last week have the same design in each endzone and the same for this weekends games.  Is this the new trend in the NFL or is it just the teams we are seeing in the playoffs?  I personally like when team name is in one endzone and location name is in the other.

    They could have went with their 2015 endzone design, which I'm not sure why they don't just stick with full time, but they should at least do this for the playoffs.

    Given the teams left, The Steelers will probably be the only team that makes field changes for the playoffs. In the past at Heinze field they have always added an AFC logo to the enzone:

    The Eagles might possibly add something to there endzones, but I doubt it given that the wordmark takes up much more space this year. I'd expect this field from them:

    2010 was the only season in their current stadium where they added logos to the endzones for the playoffs

    They have the endzone space to add logos if they want, but I doubt they will. But who knows, we may get a pleasant surprise.

    That Chiefs 2015 endzone looks sharp.  I've always wished for them to have a larger arrowhead logo at midfield.  

    Great work Pitt6Pack.  

  8. The Chiefs end zones need something besides the word mark.  Maybe the AFC logo and the logo they use at midfield.  Or the AFC logo and the Lamar Hunt Memorial logo that is on the jersey.
    I do like the use of the helmet instead of the logo for the Rams.

    Any thoughts on where the Cubs could put a new "banner"? 

     

    Think theyll honestly put up another flag on the roof that no one can see?

    There are already 3 retired number flags on each foul pole, so no room on one of those.  The center field score board flag space is already taken up by the standings flags.  If they don't add it to the roof flags, I could see them adding a flag pole by one of the new video boards.
