  1. I wouldn't necessarily call "Titans" generic in this context. Nashville has long been called the "Athens of the South," and has been home to a full-scale replica of the Parthenon since 1897. Plus the alliteration is nice. However, I probably would've been fine with keeping "Oilers."
  2. As long as North American leagues don't get as crazy as European hockey leagues for example, I'm totally okay with jersey sponsors. The NBA's approach looks fine and fairly unimposing so far. Yes, some sponsor logos could work better with the teams' looks, but they still look better than the WNBA. Same goes for the NHL if they eventually add jersey sponsors. If they stay roughly the same size as a commemorative or captain's patch, I'm fine with it. Just don't slap a billboard below the crest or under the back number. Same goes for the New Era logo on MLB hats. It doesn't offend me. Let the manufacturer get their due.
  3. Two developments in the SPHL today. First, the Columbus Cottonmouths are suspending operations for 2017-18. The statement says, "the league is in the final stages of securing new ownership," and plans for that franchise to make a comeback for 2018-19. Second, the Fayetteville FireAntz announced a press conference for next Friday, May 12. New ownership + half-price merchandise = likely refresh of a look in dire need of one.
  4. Their release says they are announcing new NHL and AHL affiliations, and they squashed the notion of moving up twice on Twitter. They've also already announced their home schedule for the ECHL season. They aren't leaving the 'Coast anytime soon. However, they have been using a logo progression graphic everywhere with '?' over '2017.' Their site also has no logo in the header. My money is on a new/recolored logo to match the new parent club(s).
  5. So it appears Lowell is pulling exactly what Vermont did with "Champ" a few seasons ago. That definitely will not be confusing...
  6. LOVE how they did the roundel. Hadn't seen that mark until now. Frankly, that would be on the jersey sleeves instead of the primary.
  7. That and if all of their prior home jerseys didn't say "Memphis" on the front. I recognize that consistency, but that "Redbirds" mark is just too good to ignore.
  8. Memphis absolutely nailed it. Literally the only critique I have is that gorgeous "Redbirds" script, with the feathery detail on the 's' tail, is only featured in the primary logo. That beaut deserves to be on the front of a jersey by itself.
  9. The Redbirds have since posted two more similar videos: one with the Memphis Blues, the other the Memphis Red Sox (Negro Leagues). So I think jumping to the name change conclusion is a bit premature. Trinity Baseball Holdings owns the majority share of the Redbirds, as of maybe a year ago. They also own the Charleston Riverdogs, who re-identified via Studio Simon this season. When Memphis refreshed in 2015 (IIRC), the Cardinals owned the team outright and did everything in-house. STL still has some stake in the team, but not enough to go full in-house again.
  10. The Memphis Redbirds posted a very cryptic video to their social channels on Wednesday. It features some photos from old Memphis teams (Turtles, Reds, think 1920s) along with the date 1/18/2017. Their website reflects this same date. They just redid their art two seasons ago, but for some reason I think they may be totally overhauling, including the name...? This would be quite a departure, especially since the Cardinals still have partial ownership of the team.
  11. @ZackTN i never saw it either, but when he makes fun of it Zombieland... Also, because money.

  12. @SCSOCAL @SenBobCorker Any other issues you wanna pull from left field? Or is this enough to avoid Tillerson's obvious conflict of interest?

  13. So @twitter re-instated and @verified a neo-nazi, but they won't answer my requests to verify a pro hockey team. The heck, @jack?

  17. @TheLawManCometh this is a post-truth world, sir.

  18. Football is just so freaking stupid sometimes.

  19. Has @realDonaldTrump claimed credit for killing Castro yet?

  21. RT @jpbrammer: BLM: "We're protestors." Media: "No, you're thugs." Nazis: "We're alt-right." Media: "Got it."

  22. I'm only okay with Christmas music starting this early because it's the only time of year anyone plays Bing Crosby. #WarOnThanksgiving
