    I had to wait until I was in my goddamn 40s for a Milwaukee team to finally win a championship (that we didn't have to share with Green Bay) and instead of the gorgeous regular unis or the antler alts, they did it in those stupid black jerseys with the blue line. I dunno. It just sticks in my craw that Giannis, the most wholesome and likable guy in the world, had to win his first ring looking like a guy who beats his wife. Also... to tie this into the subject. I hope they call a last minute audible and become the Redtails.

    That warehouse is as iconic to me as the green monster or the ivy at Wrigley. I'm sure it helped that it was the centerpiece for Cal Ripken's "countdown," and that the Sox and Cubs were terrible at the time. I guess you could argue that the closed concourses actually make it more "authentic" than all the other neo retro parks. Granted, I grew up going to County Stadium. Am I happy that Miller Park has open concourses? Of course. But I live in Chicago now, and New Comiskey, for all of its negatives, reminds me of the ballparks I visited in my youth.

    Oh man... you NAILED IT with that MECCA inspired UWM mark. They could rebrand around something like that. Marquette is pretty much what I expect a Marquette floor to look like.

    The Vikings could use their modern numbers for as long as they wanted if they dropped the weird serifs. This is a good update. Though I think you should try putting shoulder stripes on the road whites.

    UIC looks great. Any chance you'll do Milwaukee? Their arena is the old MECCA and I feel like they don't do themselves any favors by not playing that up with a spin on the famous MECCA floor.

    To me, the incredible thing about Camden Yards is how it still stands out even though pretty much every ballpark built since has copied it in one form or another.

    So I just learned that the group that owns the Springfield franchise is actually called Capital City Baseball, LLC...

    As much as I had my reservations about the Packers throwbacks, I loved watching this game. You could say it looks like a D3 college game, but you'd need two classic NFL teams to pull it off at the pro level.

    Looking good so far!

    Ooof... I guess that shows how much attention I've been paying to the NHL.

    The Admirals have been the Preds top farm club ever since the Preds became a thing. Probably also helps that within that time, the Nashville Sounds have mostly been a Brewers affiliate. I also think a lot of fans who are old enough to remember Bill Wirtz's stunt can't stomach the idea of rooting for the Blackhawks. Then there's the younger hockey fans who don't remember the politics of the early 90s NHL and grew up seeing the Hawks winning Stanley Cups rather than being terrible. That's when I started to notice their sweaters popping up in Milwaukee. Me? I was a North Stars fan, because I started watching the NHL the last year they made the Stanley Cup finals (also when I learned the Admirals weren't a NHL team... it was like finding out Santa wasn't real. But I digress). But then they moved and I wasn't gonna root for a Dallas team. So the Nordiques became my team. Then they moved. I haven't been able to choose a hockey team ever since. But who knows? Maybe living long enough in Chicago will make me a Hawks fan.

    Wasn't there a rule from the original six days that teams had territorial rights to everything within 200 miles of their home arena? Milwaukee is only 90 from Chicago, and I was told that's why Bill Wirtz tried to extort extra money from the potential Milwaukee owners. To the point about the Wild... they're on tv in Milwaukee because FS Wisconsin was spun off from FS North which is based out of Minnesota. But I can promise that of anyone in Milwaukee gives a flying f--k about the Wild, they probably came from Minnesota. The NHL fanbase in Milwaukee is currently split between the Blackhawks and Predators with a smattering of Red Wings fans from Upper Michigan/Northern Wisconsin. But if ever there was a time for the NHL to come to Milwaukee, it was the 90s. Back when the Admirals regularly outdrew the Bucks, and it probably would have culminated in the Bucks leaving town. Now? No way would the World Champion Bucks allow some NHL team to trapse in on their turf.

    I understand what you're going for with Middle Tennessee. But lightning bolts with those colors give off too much of an Air Force vibe to me.

    Gold just muddies up the look. Just like the Twins.

    As much as I love the current logo, I wouldn't mind if this became the basis for a rebrand. That said, how did they whiff on the chance to bring back the anchor stripe? That was the best part of the OG Captain Crunch era!
  16. MilSox
    I think I still prefer the Varsity W, but if you're gonna keep the Motion W, this is definitely the direction to go. Digging your Navy concept too.
  17. MilSox
    A "C" can be turned into an "O" quite easily. So maybe Orlando Crocs is something to consider?
  18. MilSox
    I get where you were going with the Bucks, but I think most modern fans associate red with the lean years before Giannis arrived rather than Kareem and Oscar. I think this past year firmly established the Bucks as a green & cream team with gold or black trim.
  19. MilSox
    Quality logo. But not something for the Carolinas.
  20. MilSox
    Definitely gold with dark purple.
  21. MilSox
    Since you mentioned it, swapping the purple for a dark blue would do wonders for this.
  22. MilSox
    Not really feeling the colors to be honest. They don't feel industrious enough for a team named after the mining industry.

    I like the Rocky Mountain name as long as Utah doesn't have team. Because typically the Denver/Colorado team is the de facto home team for that entire reason. 14ers is a solid identity for the reasons you named. Kind of ties them to Colorado, yet doesn't alienate the rest of the rocky states. But for some reason I really love Rocky Mountain Altitude. Sounds very basketball to me.

    Dammit Bucks. Why couldn't we just get some version of the 1980s double green like everyone wants?
  25. MilSox
    I like NFL skill position players in single digits and in the 10s. I feel like those numbers look best on guys who are fast and lean. That said, since few non-TE's are wearing numbers in the 80s anymore, I'd like them to be available to d-linesmen and linebackers. It was pretty common until the 1980s and big round numbers look better on those guys.
