  1. I live in Roanoke (Salem is right next door). This is not a craft brewing hub by any stretch of the imagination. Hell, one of the big stories this week was Deschutes essentially pulling the plug on building their East Coast headquarters here.
  2. This is less about a designer getting screwed and more about a league (I'm using that word lightly) being shady as hell. For the past year a new arena league, the National Gridiron League, has been hyping everyone here in Roanoke up for some football. The league still hasn't started (it was supposed to this month), and if you look at the logos these teams are using, I have a feeling they never will (click the link, the rundown is near the end of the video.) https://www.wsls.com/news/virginia/roanoke/new-roanoke-arena-football-league-tells-city-leaders-league-is-still-on-track EVERY SINGLE TEAM LOGO looks stolen. Even the league logo is a direct thievery of the old UFL logo!
  3. That's clearly the New England Patriots logo's grandfather.
  4. I have no idea why I started thinking about the mid-2000's Spurs today, but here are two good ones: Before he perfected his karate kicks with Coach Pop, Bruce Bowen played in the hell that was the Rick Pitino-era Celtics. And former #1 overall pick Glenn "Big Dog" Robinson (how he went #1 over Jason Kidd and Grant Hill, I will never understand) spent his last year coming off of the bench and getting a ring with the '05 Spurs.
  5. That flag is so bad, even the eel looks like it wants out.
  6. Dangit Brandiose, what did we tell you about having animals holding/swinging bat-like objects?
  7. They're not even that far apart; It takes about an hour and a half to get between Fayetteville and Kinston. Also, THANK GOD THEY DIDN'T GO WITH FATBACKS.
  8. Nothing like looking in the rafters and being reminded that you failed your high expectations in the playoffs.
  9. I'll make a case for Justin Williams in these as well (I personally see him as a Cane first, but he probably has 2-3 "right" teams.)
  10. There's no way they made a cap out of Milwaukee's horrorshow flag, right? RIGHT? ...damnit.
  11. There's a whole lot you can do with milk, they better not skim over the possibilities.
  12. It looks like Stomper is surfing on a banana. I love it so much.
  13. The Baby Cakes name better die. I saw a tweet from a local NOLA reporter that cited the merchandise sales going up since they switched, but that most of those gains were from out-of-state online orders and actual ticket sales took a nosedive. People aren't going to see a team if they approach themselves like a joke. The Baby Cakes might be the biggest joke in MiLB.
  14. Quick, someone tweet this idea to Kaval. With all of the fan service he's done this year, he might actually consider it.
  15. I wonder what it would look like if you arched the "Seattle" lettering in the logo on the road jersey instead of the Seattle script...I feel like Seattle as a city always tries to be modern and a step ahead with style.
  16. Jeez, Arby's in Canada is weird.
  17. I hope it cuts off RIGHT before the name so the fans can fill in their own. "WHO AM I??? JUSTIN FAULK, MOTHER ----!"
  18. As someone who lives in Raleigh, Tom Dundon actually does appear to be...TRYING to make things better. Even the Hurricanes banners around PNC Arena got replaced this offseason; I swear the last ones had been there since the Canes won the Cup. In fact, the team just had fans vote on a goal song, in which the finalists were Raise Up by Petey Pablo (NORTH CAROLINA!) and a techno remix of Brass Bonanza. No, I'm not kidding.
  19. On those same lines, a local medical lab in North Carolina:
  20. https://ballparkdigest.com/2018/08/08/fayetteville-team-branding-to-be-unveiled-september-12/ All we know down here in North Carolina is that the colors are black/gray/red (Fayetteville Hurricanes??) and the names could be any of these: Fatbacks. Fly Traps. Jumpers. Wood Dogs. Woodpeckers. ...it's going to be Fatbacks, isn't it?
  21. Look, if THIS company is apparently in the clear, apparently anything goes.
  22. Actually, that IS a sports logo now...for Vernon Hills HS in Illinois.
  23. UPDATE: Rochester, Minnesota is down to two finalists to replace it's flag. If you forgot what Rochester's flag looked like, here ya go:
