I’m fine with Pilots.

@burgundy “Belters” is more than likely pertaining to the Beltway around DC

I’ve always thought the Maple Leafs uniforms kinda sucked.

Then again, I’m not exactly a huge hockey uniform enthusiast either.

Blue Sky is damn near the best soda I’ve ever had. Just behind Cheerwine

So buying a painting you like is just buying it for the branding?

I’d argue that a painting is different. With comic books, there’s more than just the art.

Say you buy a 12 pack of beer because the packaging looked great, but you ended up liking the beer. Same deal with a comic book. You buy the book for the cover art, but end up reading it and actually liking it.

To me saying buying a comic book because of the art is buying it for the "branding" is the equivalent of saying buying a soft drink for the taste as opposed to the packaging or a sweater for the comfort as opposed to the design is buying it for the "branding".

 

The "branding" of a comic book is the art, the typeface, etc. And since those are the features that distinguish comic books from other media I would argue you can't separate the branding from the consumption of the product itself in the same way you can with things like a soft drink because you like the label. And since the entire point of this site is aesthetics, the delineation between a product sold for its aesthetic appeal and its "branding" is next to impossible to tell.

Say you buy the comic book for the cover art, put it in a sleeve, and hang it up somewhere to admire. Which some people do. Then what? At that point, you bought the product strictly for the brand design and nothing else.

The lowest number a LB should ever be able to pick is 20

We need more teams in baseball to have sleeve numbers like the Phillies

I'm not sure if comics really count, as the art is arguably the biggest part of the product, not really the "branding".

A lot of people buy comics for the art. Sure the story is there, but the artwork ties it together. 
 

As far as another product I intend on buying because of the branding-

I’m a sucker for simplistic designs like this

Saw this concept on Instagram. Interesting take on the Jaguars helmet

Haven’t bought it yet, but I know for sure I am plus the other two Volumes. Simply for the artwork

Genuinely surprised at how tame the replies are. Mostly throwbacks and nothing that says “” or ““

I've noticed the Panthers have been using blue a lot this off-season. They even photoshoped Darnold into the blue jersey instead of black. Did I miss an announcement or is this normal?

It’s probably just more visually pleasing to use the blue than just black

Panthers new numbers

Everything about the Steelers identity below the helmet sucks.

QB, K, P: 0-29

RB/FB: 10-49, 80-89

WR: 10-49

TE: 30-49, 80-89

OL: 60-79

DL: 80-99

LB: 40-59

CB/S: 20-49

On the topic of unpopular opinions about the Cowboys, they should wear blue at home. I know tradition and all that and blah blah but I think their blue set is a lot stronger than their white and yet its never worn.

I’ve said it numerous times, but the current white set needs to be throw in a dumpster and the Color Rush needs to replace it. There would only be one shade of blue in use too

You can’t. The only members capable of doing so are the Mods.

I just did this the other day with two ciders as while I have a go-to, I'm always willing to see if another brand can be just as good, or better: 





Neither was good as Grower's (my usual) IMO..... 

Is that Strongbow can textured or just printed like that?

Why?

If we can have Hybrid DB/LBs wear 20-39, why not allow a DB to wear 99?

I'd rather see CBs wearing #99 than have that rule in the pros

I legitimately want to see that 

I’d rather WRs take numbers 10-19 and leave 80-89 to TEs and even LBs

Looks like the NFL numbering system will be changed, allowing WRs and DBs to wear numbers in the single digits among other changes.

Yet they won’t even allow the use of zero.

Green Bay doesn’t use a blue face mask for their throwbacks, they still use the green one and nobody notices

Hey @Cujo there’s a new contender for laziest throwback
