Well, the Commanders name is , and they play like , so why do you have a problem with them looking like ?
-
It looks good for what it was designed to be; a 'DR' secondary logo, not an 'AR' primary logo.

The inaugural UFL Championship Game will be played at The Dome at America's Center in St. Louis on June 16th, 2024. https://pfnewsroom.com/news/st-louis-to-host-the-ufl-championship-game-on-june-16th/#:~:text=In the midst of the,the city of St. Louis.

Battlehawks alternate away and home every weekend. Much better than 3 road games to start last year.
-
The 'S' is the dominant feature of the logo, so, IMO, it doesn't fall under the same category as the Cardinals and Angels. SIDE NOTE: Man, I haven't been to Hammons Field since my last day working there, almost 14-1/2 years ago.

NFL will be like, "We don't need 'em yet". NFL players will be like, "Keep 'em longer. F*** preseason games".

I actually disagree there. The logo being primarily red would make it look like a solid red hat with navy bill and squatchee. Those contrasting elements look better when the logo is also (mostly) a contrasting color from the crown. The Angels former BP hats did that. Looked off. I actually really like this hat as is. I had one similar back in like 2000, only the all the yellow elements were white. It was back towards the end of when recolored hats were the craze. Good (squatchee isn't navy on this particular picture of the white B, but it usually is): Questionable:
-
Literally wearing the previous BP version of this hat, in the "diamond" material, as we speak.
-
I would contemplate buying this hat, but the excessively thick outlines kill the logo.
-
And the rest of the NL Central says, "Thank you!". Now the division is wide open... for any of the five 4th place teams to win it... because someone has to.

The return of the Kansas City A's (of Omaha... until Las Vegas)

I have seen nothing from MLB that indicates Salt Lake is getting any team, other than the A's, potentially, on a temporary basis. Seems like everybody thinks that because they're being looked at as possible home until the Vegas ballpark is done, and I guess couple with Ryan Smith's intended desires to get an NHL expansion team, it means they've jumped the expansion list. Even IF the A's stayed in Oakland (it's not happening), Nashville would be much more desirable, along with Las Vegas, than Salt Lake.
-
That's my point. Your plan calls for an expansion team to begin next year, in 2025. There is no market long term expansion-ready that quickly. The time it would take a market to be expansion ready would take about as long as the construction of the Vegas ballpark. Therefore, any market that would be expanded to and use whatever infrastructure already in place, would not be any different than the A's playing there temporarily. The A's playing there would actually better work as a test case without the guarantee of a long term commitment that an expansion team would. Which, again, would be greatly hampered by the short amount of time.

Yeah, which makes sense as a host for the A's, but not the "expansion team with the A's on hiatus" team. Otherwise, it's an expansion team that may be gone in a few years, rather than an established team where it's already known that they'll be in another city after that time.

First off, no way in hell the Blue Jays would ever let another team use Buffalo, even on a temporary basis. It's their Triple-A team in a city they consider part of their market. Secondly, you can't fit a near-regulation baseball field in the Superdome or Alamodome. The Rangers played an exhibition game in the Alamodome about 10 years ago. The dimensions were fine for that, but not for a full-time team for a minimum of 3 years.
-
This would only work if MLB wanted Salt Lake in the league in 2025. So far, there's no inkling that they view Salt Lake as anything other than a potential temporary home, much less a market they're ready to commit a team to as soon as next year. And if they only want to give them a trial run, then there's no need to make them any other team than the A's.
-
Where would said expansion team play? The only MLB-"level" stadiums that exist outside of MLB is Olympic Stadium in Montreal and soon the Oakland Coliseum. Any other market would require new stadium construction similar to the time frame of the LV ballpark, which renders the proposed solution moot.

Also via UniWatch, it appears the Nationals road mark red fill may have been corrected, as modeled by Dave Martinez... unless THIS jersey is the quirk. Still looks bad either way.
-
I hope he stays an OC. I'd be worried that, if he became a head coach, he'd poach his brother from Mizzou to be his OC.

And there we go.

Why does it show Omaha's logo instead of Orlando?
-
How much you washing? A ton. I'll see myself out.

How does that make any sense when "Washington", which is a longer word, was NOT angled like that? And no, the Orioles should not follow suit. The only they would possibly need to do is slightly de-italicize "Baltimore".
-
One (and probably the only one other than the DC patch) positive is the Nats switching their trim to red/white/blue instead of the just red and blue. Looks less Braves-ish.
