I was at the University of Maryland when they went from a Coke campus to a Pepsi campus. It was funny, despite being a Coke campus they had Pepsi machines around, like Coke did not mind. Pepsi took over, you could not find a Coke anywhere not even at on campus convenience stores. Our McDonalds even served Pepsi, I think at that point only the 2nd one, the other being on Pepsi HQ property, did that. I had Starry Zero Sugar this weekend. It was good, its not 7up or Sprite by any means. Its very syrupy with a very different Lemon Lime soda taste. My friend mentioned he felt like instead of copying Sprite or 7up, they maybe thought how can we make a Pepsi-like Lemon Lime soda, as Pepsi is known to be Syrupy and have that kind of mouth feel.

https://explorestlouis.com/event/45th-annual-builders-st-louis-home-garden-show/ I am going to assume set up for this is very elaborate and they need to the time before which would be the season start to set up. Like wise after this ends to clean up and install the football field.

I think the ABC Affiliate WJLA (Channel 7) in DC does this too. They own Channel 8 which became "News Channel 8" a localized DC area News Station and they shared a news team. I think now the channel is called WJLA 24/7 News and that is the shared name of the news on WJLA proper.

Wasn't the Nashville Kats owned by the Titans? They existed in that era where all the NFL teams were buying/creating AFL teams because they got a huge TV deal so they decided to make it an essential NFL Developmental league.

If its like everything else, this Commanders re-brand was planned as soon as they dropped the R name but had to wait 2 years to fully get the branding done, with the BS idea they wanted to involve the fans. I bet the Mascot was on some levels already planned for last season (sans Commanders on the chest) but wanted the fans to "have a say". Keep in mind the Commanders W is pretty much the same current logo with some lines around it as WFT so that part of the uniform on the mascot could easily been changed. The Commanders like that across the chest also screams a quick cheap modification where it may have had a fully jersey in the original design.

Knowing Discovery management they sold that logo to someone else for the money too

Agreed, Camo aside it looks a lot like the University of Maryland look that I loved, that somehow during my time there as a student they ditched almost completely and embraced the black.

Or for that matter the one glaring thing that league's marketing team required, like making it roundel or something to make the BS marketing speak they come up with work. "We decided to change the blue to a brighter shade to look to a brighter future in the MLS. We changed the green to make it a stronger shade to show how strong we are in the league with our MLS CUP and Concacaf wins"

Based on this Facebook post at the "Annual Business Meetings" the new logo/crest the Sounders have been talking about for a bit has been approved/confirmed. I am assuming we may see this soon: https://www.facebook.com/SoundersFC/photos/a.246043763588/10159083276358589/ The comments mentioned that they were told the Space Needle is being kept somehow on the logo Personal Thought: I have no faith MLS's Marketing team to get this right and they will do what Columbus and Chicago already had to do and revert to something else 2 years later. Its pretty clear the league gives these teams no major choice in whatever get created. "You asked for it not us" mentality.

-Would be interesting if the Guardians name being used for Orlando was at the request of Disney (via ESPN) is involved with the League and Marvel. I know a stretch but you never know. Like if this is successful we may see some Marvel Partnership like they do with minor league baseball in the future. -Seattle changes totally trying to capitalize and/or confuse on Kraken.

Essentially the group that became the cast of Reno 911.

Sprite is switching to all clear bottles for cost cutting reasons so they just added the logo change and used the Coke Zero idea with just having "Black" be the Zero Sugar identified. I expect all other Coke products to follow suit. And as we see with Fake Pepsi Sprite rebrand #5 them too.

From other pics, and much like what coke is doing with. the Sprite branding, the Zero Sugar version will have a black cap and a black band:

Looks like Pepsi gave up on Sierra Mist and is launching Starry to replace it. (

They had had those for almost 15 years now. I worked in a few of them when I was an employee of the team. They own 5 or 6 and they have them in the parking lots and by the pre-game pavilion end of the stadium. I believe they were initially bought when they moved back to Carlisle for training camp briefly to gave a place to sell merch. They are a hell of a lot nicer than a taco truck.

I could see CNN getting spun off, the former AT&T RSN's sold to someone (maybe Monumental as Leonsis just bought out the DC NBC Sports Channel), and the Video Game division to be sold to one of the major studios.

I get the sneaking suspicion that they are going start selling subsidiaries here soon, like selling DC but as part of the deal retaining all film and tv rights.

Because by that time, they will already have a sub .500 record, and no one is going to go to the home games besides opposing team fans. This ensures that some fans will attend.

I also feel the simpler the logo the cheaper it is to print something as it uses less resources.

Champion is Hanes

I know its different but it somehow is giving me LA Wildcats from the XFL vibes

Hammonton High School in NJ uses the H as well:

I am curious if they will even get team names and identities this season other than being Washington XFL team in Red, and San Antonio XFL team in Yellow/Gold. You can see here each team is color coded: https://www.xfl.com/teams

Its enough that NFL/Fanatics has a section for them: https://www.nflshop.com/?query=houston oilers
