Let's not forget that AT THAT TIME, the intent of those in OKC-- elected officials, 'business leaders' like Bennett and McClendon, and the locals/citizens, was to obtain an NBA franchise BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. 

 

And they used an opportunity to not simply and graciously TEMPORARILY "host" an NBA team that was affected by probably the worst natural/man-made disaster to ever hit a major league metro area, but to try and KEEP that team for their own and make the temporary move PERMANENT.   The history of that is here on this board, as well as on their own fan boards, and can easily be found on the internet for anyone who wants to look for it.   

And when the (then) Hornets moved back to New Orleans full-time, they successfully used WHATEVER MEANS NECESSARY to acquire another team. 

Bennett and McClendon weren't the only jaggoffs involved in that screw job. But I get what  you're sayin'.

Keep it on topic, please.

Being a dick doesn’t answer the question I posed.

I 100% believe that's a bogus rumor someone on the boards pulled out of their ass and CCSLC geeks ran with.

 

To add, the Bengals and Browns colors are purposely alike, play in the same division, and the NFL isn't enforcing anything.

Wasn’t the Bengals color scheme originally an AFL eff you from Paul Brown?

Colts were in the Super Bowl for both.

AFC and NFC, not AFL and NFL.

Fun fact: The Seahawks are the only NFL team that has never worn white at home.

They’re also the only team to play in the AFC and NFC championship games…I think.

Personally, I'm a bigger fan of the original Seahawks uniform,  (Cue the crying, "wwaaahhhh, that team was even worse!)

 

 

 

As I stated earlier, I think the helmet logo reappearing on the sleeve is a clever reuse of the stripe, but ultimately kinda clunky and redundant, like every time the helmet logo repeats on the jersey. The slightly thinner pants stripe here are a little less visually jarring, and match up with the road jersey sleeves.  And I'm always a sucker for matching sleeve stripes/sock stripes on home uniforms. Plus a gray mask to annoy grumpy posters for the win.  And teams can always throwback to the first uniforms just because they are first uniforms.

 

 

That was my introduction to the Seahawks. They were terrible, but they were my team.

Nine, Congrats on getting the digit font incorrect!

 

They did drop the serif 1 in ‘94. I guess that font is technically correct?

If you want to get THAT technical, the collar and NOB font is wrong too. It's still a beautiful jersey.

Doesn’t matter how they left. They still left.

I have Phillies season tickets.  Even when they blow.  If they didn't exist and we had only a minor-league team, I would probably go to a game or two just for fun, but they wouldn't be the "event" that a major-league game is.  I cannot hold it against people that they don't want to spend their time at minor-league games. 

 

That's not to say that there aren't reasons that would carry over to a ML team - but sometimes it's just that people want major-league sports and not minor league.  I no neither Portland nor it's situation with the Beavers (assuming that's it's MiLB team still) - but I have a hard time equating minor-league support to major-league support.

The third iteration of the Beavers left in 2010.

If nobody goes to Portland Beavers games, while it's worth looking into, it's not necessarily indicative of how a major-league team would be received.

 

 

I could get behind that if it was a one-off instance. But when that city has had multiple relocations, I can’t subscribe to Portland being MLB ready. But that’s just one old man’s opinion.

My bad. I was talking about how Portland has no chance at an expansion MLB team. I'm sure they could score a minor league team if they wanted.

They have the Hops, a Single A team, and the Pickles, a sub-minor league team.

Zero.

 

Don't you live up that way? You should know this.

How many versions of the Beavers, Mavericks, and Rockies have they lost? If they can’t keep interest in minor league baseball, why would MLB be any different?

No MLB expansion.

 

A's Las Vegas

Rays Nashville

 

Portland, Salt Lake City (needs a roof) and especially Montreal are all pipedreams.

How many teams has Portland lost?

@Jimmy! and I witnessed one live when Pedro Baez coughed one up for the Dodgers in Seattle.

That’s right! I remember that!

A friendly reminder.

Keep it civil or we shut it down.

We get it. It wasn't remotely humorous the first time. Move on.

Just like 40 years ago, half the league is red.

Any explanation given why the Panthers have two different shades of pants?

If they make it to the Super Bowl, I'm going to start a petition to have Ken Anderson be an honorary captain, on the condition that he wears his old helmet during the coin toss.

The wordmark helmets have a better SB record than the stripes. You may have something there.

Never mind. Glenn beat me to it.

No, no. You misunderstand. Cherry Mexico is a fantastic name. It's Lamicus-level fantastic!
