    I could say the same thing about a lot of rust belt cities if they were in this position. The only difference is they were willing to shell out millions of taxpayer dollars in awful new stadium deals and Oakland isn't.

    IF Vegas falls through then I hope the only option left is for Fisher to sell and the team stays in Oakland. However, if the A's were to move to Nashville instead then the divisions would get all messed up, Kansas City to the AL West? I think MLB would have to expand at the same time the A's are moving to balance out the divisions. Portland or Salt Lake City might be the more likely back up options for the A's.

    Are the Knights not allowed to use LV because their technically the Vegas Golden Knights? I never liked that decision by them.
  4. WestCoastBias
    I said both were wastelands but that I like Phoenix more.

    I agree with him. The Dodgers selling a Jackie Robinson city connect jersey that "salutes the team’s connection with its Latino fanbase" and "nods to the City’s street art culture and the murals which add color to buildings throughout Los Angeles" is kind of ridiculous for someone who didn't even play for the Dodgers in LA. The Pirates one though seems to be based off the bridges in Pittsburgh? One of which is named after Clemente, who did play in Pittsburgh unlike Robinson and LA. That feels fine to me.

    Okay yeah but opinions vary, I was just asking. Carolina and Florida in addition to Arizona could be considered "unacceptable", you even said yourself they still aren't great business wise. Wasn't someone in this thread just defending Dallas having a team too? Maybe you think the Ducks are unnecessary? It was just a question, you don't have to reply if you don't want to.

    Yeah I know Demand? Cmon man don't be dramatic. The dream NHL 32 is a fun question, could of been a good discussion.

    I don't read everything you post. This is was my whole "argument" to keep the Coyotes: I like the logo and Phoenix as a city more than Houston. That's why I don't want to seem the Coyotes move. That's me acting like its unfair? I'll give you illogical but idk about acting unfair. And this is just an honest question. Maybe acceptable wasn't the right wording but I was just curious. I mean weren't Carolina and Florida train wrecks too not that long ago?

    Dude I'm just asking questions. I don't have hurt feelings. I've only started paying attention to hockey the past two years since I started going to Kings games. The hate on sun belt teams is intriguing to me as someone who is new to the sport and also lives in the sun belt (I think?). I've always thought Carolina and Florida were weirder NHL fits than the Coyotes, but that's just my west coast bias.
  10. WestCoastBias
    So what sun belt teams are acceptable and what aren't?
  11. WestCoastBias
    What's your dream 32 for the NHL?

    Also, am I crazy for wishing MLB would of just done helmet ads instead? Like they've done in the past for international series. It's a much better look in my opinion and is at times more visible. I guess it's all inevitable and would of happened anyway, just like the NHL that started with the helmet and now has them on the jerseys.
  13. WestCoastBias
    I mean it's not our money I mostly just don't want to see the Kachina go, I think it'd enter into Whalers and Nordiques nostalgia territory if they moved away and rebranded. And while both are wastelands of urban sprawl, Phoenix > Houston.
  14. WestCoastBias
    I'm conflicted here. The ad matches the Cardinals uniform so well that if you didn't know any better you might just think that it was part of the uniform, like a memorial patch for some ex player named Stifel or something. Is that a good thing or bad thing?

    Time is a social construct my guy
  16. WestCoastBias
    I hope Arizona figures it out.
  17. WestCoastBias
    I always liked the O and stripes look for the Senators..

    The Seattle Mariners don't new a brand refresh or new uniforms. The identity introduced in 1993 is a modern classic and, aside from maybe having too many outlines on their wordmarks, their uniforms are perfect as is. Not sure if this is unpopular but it needs to be said with the new City Connect recently being released.
  19. WestCoastBias
    What would it look like with the same green as the Green Monster?
  20. WestCoastBias
    All the Buffs need is a template upgrade. They have done a good job with having traditional uniforms that still allow for a bunch of combinations. I would even argue they execute the gray uniforms better than anyone else in college football even though it's completely unnecessary. And this is just perfection. Please don't ruin it Coach Prime.

    - Houston is 5th largest metro area, 7.2 million people. - Atlanta is the 8th largest metro area, 6.1 million people. - Tacoma and Seattle are over 30 miles away from each other. Tacoma is also it's own city rather than a suburb, it's port is on par with Seattle in total trade for example. Also, 4 million people in the metro area. - We all know Twin Cities is kind of a unique situation where Minneapolis and St Paul share the professional teams. The NBA arena is in Minneapolis while the NHL arena is in St Paul, it makes sense that St Paul would support the Triple-A team while the Twins play not too far away. Also, 3.7 million people in the metro area. I don't consider any of these existing examples relevant to whether the A's and Aviators could coexist 11 miles apart in a market that's only home to 2.3 million people. With the Golden Knights and Silver Knights, at least the Silver Knights are in Henderson which is an actual city (2nd largest in NV) that might have it's own identity to a degree rather than Summerlin which is a master planned community who's downtown is an outlet mall. It could work out fine, but there's nothing wrong with being skeptical about this.

    I'm pretty sure Mark Davis hates Fisher and the A's as they did the Raiders no favors when Davis was trying to get a new stadium at the Coliseum site. And Allegiant is a football only venue too.
  23. WestCoastBias
    I would love to see Fisher somehow blow this Las Vegas deal and be forced to sell the team. It seems like a pretty aggressive deadline to try to get $500 million from a state government, especially when there is no guarantee Fisher will actually invest in the team on the field once he gets there. Let's remember this guy has been trying to get a ballpark built for the last 20 years in multiple municipalities and hasn't been able to get it done, and yes not all the blame goes to Fisher but he is the one constant in every negotiation. Joe Lacob, please have your checkbook ready just in case.

    You can still have Triple-A teams in secondary cities and still be close enough to the parent club. A good example is the Giants and Sacramento River Cats. A bad example is the Dodgers and OKC Dodgers, but even that's still better than Sugar Land Space Cowboys and Round Rock Express. Leave teams in no name suburbs to Single-A and Double-A.
  25. WestCoastBias
    With the A's now going to move to Las Vegas, it seems like a good time to redo the Pacific Coast League. No, I don't think Las Vegas should get to have both a MLB and a Triple-A team (no matter how nice their stadium is) and the Texas teams no longer get affiliates in smaller cities. Triple-A teams should be located in larger secondary cities that are generally considered right below professional level cities (and in some cases these cities do have pro teams in other sports). Albuquerque Isotopes - Rockies El Paso Chihuahuas - Padres Fresno Grizzlies - Dodgers Oklahoma City 89ers - Rangers Reno Aces - A's Sacramento River Cats - Giants Salt Lake Bees - Angels San Antonio Missions - Astros Tacoma Rainiers - Mariners Tucson Toros - Diamondbacks Possible Expansion Boise Hawks - Portland MLB
