  1. I think you're confusing Pigtown with Federal Hill.
  2. Same. Like the uniforms, hate the helmets.
  3. Forgot to include this in my multi-quote (which may be a good thing because it would have made for a reallllllllyyyyy long reply. If I can tell on myself, in the mid-late 70s, being a wee lass of around 10, I always thought of Maryland as a red and white team. I always thought the helmet logo on this uniform was just a sort of washed out red. Instead, it is actually a good example of the parallel use of the colors, like the throwback posted by @Ted Cunningham.
  4. These updated with the UnderArmour M would look really good. This logo still gets used a lot*, though not on uniforms that I can recall. My assumption has always been that it doesn't show up on the uniforms because it uses the old Aachen Bold M instead of the UnderArmour M. * -- My son (junior at Maryland) and I (Maryland fan since the 70s) have plenty of swag to prove it. That said, I've always been a bigger fan of the logo on the 1970 helmet or this one if we're talking about logos using a terrapin.
  5. I would be up for that. The rest of the uniform is actually fairly subdued. It's the helmets that push it into "overly garish" territory. In practices and the spring game they usually(?) wear white helmets with numbers on the side and a Maryland flag stripe. I would be more than happy with this.
  6. I didn't mind that color scheme, but I hated that wordmark.
  7. In reverse order -- Absolutely! My son went to high school with Ziggy Reid, who was tournament MVP for Merrimack. It sucks to have that be the end of the line after winning the conference tournament.
  8. In case it isn't obvious, I will be rooting tonight for the 11-22 Lafayette Leopards to upset Colgate and punch their ticket.
  9. Springfield Rifles seems to get a lot of play in youth and amateur sports. That isn't necessarily Civil War related, but there is at least some connection. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springfield_Model_1861 You could also just go with Blues and incorporate a soldier's hat or uniform into the logo. That would probably work for just about any city in the northeast.
  10. . . . like Georgetown and Fordham being associate members in the Patriot League in football only.
  11. You may laugh, but my boss still tells the story of when he was about 70 years old and the term came up in writing during a divorce case . . . and he and the similarly aged male judge both thought the word was pronounced "DILL-doo".
  12. Am I the only one who thinks the Italia script reads more like Ttalia?
  13. . . . and you didn't even include Fighting Illini and Boilermakers. I'll also throw in Gamecocks so both of my kids are covered (the other being a Terrapin).
  14. I've never seen that White Sox one before. The rest of the script is generic, but the Florida outline as an F is clever.
  15. Apparently so. There is always someone looking to make a buck in those situations. The only reason I don't have a Baltimore Browns t-shirt is that the helmet on the shirt looked really wonky. I'm pretty sure this was it . . . And apparently there was also this . . . Also, if memory serves me, the Eagles near move was right after the Stars announced their move to Baltimore . . . so they wouldn't have to compete with the Eagles if/when the USFL moved to the fall.
  16. I don't have pics readily available, but my list would be: 1. Philadelphia Stars windbreakers (team issued to stadium employees circa 1984) 2. Baltimore Starts AJD hat (image below, but not actually my hat) 3. Baltimore Cardinals t-shirt (from when the Cardinals were rumored to be moving to Baltimore, prior to the move to Phoenix)(image below, but not actually my shirt) 4. Baltimore CFL Football Grey Cup t-shirt (before the official adoption of the Stallions name) 5. Baltimore CFL Football Grey Cup button (image below, but not actually my button)
  17. Old guys, unite! I agree with this completely.
  18. That is my question too. It also looks vaguely like a top view of a scorpion (with a few legs missing), which could be fitting for Las Vegas . . . but has nothing to do with the team name.
  19. I'm old (as in graduated from high school in 1984). The Detroit Lions old helmet logo, recolored in red, was used from time to time.
  20. This is sort of like the type of hybrid model that I've been advocating for the PLL for a few years now. -- Assign home city/region names to create some local bonds (however limited at first) -- Ease into a model that includes primarily neutral site/touring games and some home games -- Eventually settle into a schedule that leans more toward home games, with continued neutral site games/doubleheaders to continue tapping into other markets In this case, there are only a few markets being used for games at this point. For football, I think the end game should be almost all home/in-market games. The PLL would be fine with perhaps a 60-40 home/neutral split since lacrosse hasn't saturated the overall market the way football has for decades.
