  1. . Welcome back buddy. Amazing work! Any chance you can do the Yankees one from the same post?
  2. Never done it, but I'll see about trying to put one together. If it turns out alright I'll post it. Sweet. I look forward to it! Although if you're like me, half the video will be checking facebook and reddit over and over haha
  3. Ren, kind of a crazy idea, but you think you could do some kind of screen capture timelapse of you doing one of these? I'd love to see your process. Totally understood if you don't want to though, just kinda curious.
  4. The speed in which he's pushing so many out right now at such a high quality is truly astounding. Appreciate the kind words, Thank You! Ren I think this is your best work yet!
  5. Ren, as usual you keep producing amazing work! If you get the chance, I'd love to see this old AAFC NY Yankees logo: Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing a version that says Giants with the top hat over the T too, but I'll leave that up to you! Thanks again man, keep up the amazing work!
  6. GGGGGRRRRRREEEEEEEAAAAAT! From the words of Tony the Tiger himself. My head just exploded from the awesomeness in that logo...amazing work as always!
  7. Wow!! These are amazing!! Can I make a few small requests?? This old Rutgers logo: And my favorite Giants logo ever, which is the giant quarterback over Yankee Stadium:
  8. That's fine, just remember that you can never again complain about your job getting outsourced or sent overseas. Same thing - workers in the US cost a lot, and as a consultant, if I can send your job to India or China, it saves the company a TON of money... which is totally cool, right? I mean, unions specifically, and US workers in general could bring down the "outsourcing issue" themselves, if they wanted, by lowering the price of their services (the work). Your argument falls apart once you realize that Nike/Reebok/Majestic all make their jerseys overseas, and then charge an exorbitant amount of money for them. That said, all my jerseys are real. Some are authentic, some replicas. But I do understand why people would buy a knockoff.
  9. are those banners up for Jays games? I was just up there last weekend and went to two games, and I didn't see the Argos banners.
  10. I can't speak to the color, I'll leave that to your better judgement, but I can say without any doubt in my mind that is a stretched video clip.
  11. The first couple photos you posted are from a video. It's distorted and fat looking. The colour point is is debatable, but I am certain that those dimensions are different. The video can't distort the dimensions like that. ...Yes it can. Take it from a broadcast engineer, it can. Looks like they stretched a 4:3 image into 16:9 - your TV might do this if you watch SD content on it in "Stretch" mode, it makes people look fatter/shorter than they really are. That's clearly what happened here. Unless you can explain the Blue Jays using their logo that was always a circle as an oval. Also there are two 1992 banners in the first image, suggesting that this is from sometime in 1993. But, more importantly, you might be seeing the color difference because one is an AL champs banner - which is powder blue, rather than the Navy of the WS champs banners. No, it isn't. Exact same font.
  12. I believe that banner was only hung for the final Expos home game. Also, that reminded me of this awesome video:
  13. Well this never looked right: and I don't care how long he spent there, but I will never accept Griffey in a Reds Jersey. Only jersey for him is the Mariners
  14. They're only $20 ($30 for NHL) compared to the real deal, it's much better. I've never bought a counterfeit, only replicas, but I know people who have and they have no complaints at all about them. Really, its worth saving the money, especially for college kids.
  15. Joe DiMaggio as a coach with the Oakland A's: The Babe with the Braves, and later as a coach with the Brooklyn Dodgers:
  16. Cliff Lee: Pudge Rodriguez: I'm not sure if this count's, since he was with the team for 4 years and went to a WS with them, but I still think Pudge in any uniform other than the Rangers is wrong, so here he is in a tigers uniform:
  17. The Brew Crew (These would look so much beter if they would just go back to good old royal blue and yellow...): Giants: Phillies: A Few Minor League- Staten Island Yankees: Trenton Thunder: Brooklyn Cyclones:
  18. Baltimore displays theirs as statues outside the ballpark: Believe it or not, Cal Ripken Jr's number "8" was recently stolen: http://www.sportingnews.com/mlb/article/2009-09-09/cal-ripkens-8-stolen-from-outside-ballpark Wednesday, Sep. 9, 2009 - 10:12 a.m. ET Cal Ripken's '8' stolen from outside ballpark Police later recover monument; four men arrested BALTIMORE — As if things weren't bad enough for the Baltimore Orioles, who just clinched their 12th consecutive losing season: On Wednesday, a temporary fence and police tape surrounded the spot that had been occupied by a monument to one of the team's all-time greats, Cal Ripken. The large aluminum No. 8 outside the Camden Yards ballpark was stolen Tuesday night by four young men who were arrested about two hours later, Baltimore police said. The monument was recovered. Surveillance cameras captured video of the men removing the 4-foot monument and placing it in the bed of a pickup truck, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. Police put out an all-points bulletin, and the men were arrested in east Baltimore after officers responding to a disorderly conduct report spotted the object in the truck bed, Guglielmi said. The Orioles have a series of aluminum monuments depicting retired uniform numbers outside one entrance to the downtown ballpark. They include Brooks Robinson's 5, Jim Palmer's 22 and Eddie Murray's 33. The suspects were identified as Gary Parker, 19, of Baltimore; Matthew Rayner, 19, of Chase; Patrick Reynolds, 18, of Middle River; and Jason Stoneberner, 19, of Essex. They were being held at the city's Central Booking and Intake Center on charges of felony theft and destruction of property, police said. There was no indication they had attorneys. Police returned the monument to the Orioles on Wednesday after taking photos and examining it for evidence, Guglielmi said. "I don't know if they'll be able to reuse it," he said. Orioles spokesman Monica Barlow said the team had no comment about the theft because it was a police matter. She said she did not know when the monument would be reinstalled. The Orioles began a five-game road trip with a 10-0 drubbing by Boston Tuesday night, their 82nd loss of the season, and will return home Monday. Ripken had no comment on the theft, said his spokesman, John Maroon.
  19. Wow, this is one of the best threads I've come across. RYS: "Monument Park, created in 1974-75 during renovation of the original Yankee Stadium, housed the flag pole and a collection of monuments, plaques, and retired numbers honoring distinguished members of the New York Yankees. When the stadium was originally constructed, the flag pole was placed in play, over 450 feet from home plate to the left of straightaway center field. After manager Miller Huggins died suddenly of food poisoning, the Yankees erected a monument dedicated to him in front of the flag pole on May 30, 1982. The monument, a plaque mounted on an upright slab of red marble, was later joined by monuments dedicated to Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth upon their deaths, and a number of plaques were mounted behind them on the outside wall. When the stadium was remodeled, the monuments were moved out of play to an enclosed area between the two bullpens. It wasn't until 1985 when the left field fence was moved in, though, that the park was opened to fans prior to games and during stadium tours. At that point, the rear fence lining the walkway from the grandstand seats to the monuments, which had been the actual outfield fence from 1976-1984, was adorned with the Yankees' retired numbers. The ceremonial monuments are awarded posthumously and are the highest honor of all. The other two Yankees to receive the honor are Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio. Another monument was erected to remember the attacks of September 11, 2001. Plaques honor: Edward Barrow, Joe McCarthy, Phil Rizzuto, Bill Dickey, Thurman Munson, Jacob Ruppert, Mel Allen, Red Ruffing, Whitey Ford, Reggie Jackson, Lefty Gomez, Casey Stengel, Don Mattingly, Elston Howard, Billy Martin, Allie Reynolds, Roger Maris, Yogi Berra, Ron Guidry, Bob Sheppard, Pope Paul VI, and Pope John Paul II. The following numbers are retired: 1 (Billy Martin), 3 (Babe Ruth), 4 (Lou Gehrig), 5 (Joe DiMaggio), 7 (Mickey Mantle), 8 (Bill Dickey and Yogi Berra), 9 (Roger Maris), 10 (Phil Rizzuto), 15 (Thurman Munson), 16 (Whitey Ford), 23 (Don Mattingly), 32 (Elston Howard), 37 (Casey Stengel), 42 (Jackie Robinson), 44 (Reggie Jackson), and 49 (Ron Guidry)." NYS: Can't wait to see 26 changed to 27, and 2009 added to that last one!!
