This is so unsettling to look at (mainly because I have an irrational hatred of the '87 Twins look), but so, so good. The upside down M truly makes this.

As a diehard Oakland A's fans, I REALLY want to hate this concept and everything it stands for...but I can't. Fantastic work again! Unlike their IRL Oakland counterparts, your Philly A's actually USE their elephant.

Ironically, there WAS a Checkers auto parts...which also had a Checkers/Rallys-esque logo arrangement before O'Reilly bought them.

While we're on the subject of clothing brands popular with skaters in the mid 2000's...

Thank goodness I don't live where you live, because I'd constantly end up walking into the wrong one.

Well, that's one thing Charlotte and Raleigh have in common. Speaking of Raleigh, our flag might need a sprucing up (yes, that was intentional):

I honestly thought the second one WAS your flag. I've been to Charlotte a few times and I've seen that symbol pretty much everywhere. It's a well designed logo and a lot of people already associate it with Charlotte; they might as well pull the trigger and make that the official flag.

The last one is my favorite and the one above it is up there too. I also love the design which incorporates the Zumbro River; it's pretty clever that the star is located about right where the Mayo Clinic is. I can't help it, I like this neon-looking flag too.

Because ALL of their logos are associated with failure.

This looks like the bootleg version of Denver's city flag.

NHL Anti-Thread: Bad Business Decision Aggregator
ChicagoOakland replied to The_Admiral's topic in Sports In General
Damn, I was hoping Greenberg would buy the Canes. I've got a bad feeling about this, this move has incompetence written all over it. (But when Karmanos is involved, what move doesn't?) -

The '90s ended. That's about it. -

I really am the only Canes fan on these boards, aren't I? With that said, I wouldn't even be shocked if they move...and honestly it's probably for the best if they do. -
So my former hometown of Rochester, Minnesota is holding a contest to replace...whatever the heck this is. They're doing a two round voting system with the intention of unveiling a new flag next spring. (link here.) Here's what came out of round 1:

Oh God, I thought you were joking about Split's flag. That might be worse than the infamous Pocatello flag.

Sports Graphics Packages, Historically

Wow. You brought me back with that one. If only I could find a picture of it. -
Arena Rafters & Banners
ChicagoOakland replied to LoligerBS's topic in Sports Logo General Discussion
The Warriors have come a long way from where they were when I was growing up, when they only had the one banner for 1975. They didn't even have the retired numbers on banners until they retired Mullin's number; they used to be just listed under the suites. (look by Vince Carter's head for proof.) -
Take it from someone who lived in Chicago for a sizable portion of their life: There's no such thing as a fan of the Cubs and White Sox. Much like the old Yankees/Dodgers/Giants rivalry, the teams don't just represent their city, they represent their specific neighborhoods (Cubs=North Side and White Sox=South Side) and in a city as historically segregated as Chicago there's really no middle ground to take.
