    Yeah I guess for the players that move their families to their home city, that could be problematic.

    Does the PA have a say in franchise relocations?

    I watched the video, and the fan interviewed at the end did seem to confirm the inconvenient location issue that some here have been mentioning. While I don't know if there's any evidence it would succeed in Ybor City, I'm certainly more willing to accept that it hasn't been given the fair chance I maybe thought it had been. One thing I don't understand, is how the split-city plan calls for two small stadiums. That doesn't make sense, unless they're conceding that very few people will come even if it's centrally located. Playing half the games in one city doesn't mean that the stadium only has to support half the people. I don't really understand the logic - if it's all financially based, wouldn't having more people in there increase revenue? And if they don't think more people would come, why are they even considering this, rather than looking elsewhere (maybe there is no elsewhere?)

    Washington or Miami make the most sense to move. Nobody cares about the Marlins so it would be break-even for the AL East (expect they'd get a bad team to beat on) and Washington hasn't really developed any rivalries in the NL East and I doubt the other teams are realizing any money that's in line with its market size, so unless Baltimore would object (which is likely) they could go.

    how so? If you're big enough to be considered for the Super Bowl halftime show, wouldn't that imply that you already have a ton of exposure? Maybe it's good for some of the non-headliners (MIA supporting Madonna comes to mind) but I'd say it's impossible to quantify.

    Isn't there some nonsense like the halftime act having to actually pay the league for the "privilege" vs the league paying them like any other concert works? I can't imagine Dre, Snoop, Eminem, et al doing that, unless someone else picked up the tab.

    To me it's a little bit akin to the Whalers logo with the H being made out of the negative space of the W and tail. A lot would depend on what colors they went to - I'm not sure if it's clear that they were going to dark green / black with each of those. As for the bottom left, it looks too much like a Rockets logo, at least without the context of any coloring. And yeah - it looks like JH or JI.

    First thought I got was this one, which was probably also done by GamePlan. The Rays version works way better.

    2nd from right on the bottom does too- more definitively. They did make the right choice though.
  11. BBTV
    Good observation. I wonder what the style guide says about how the logo should be used against various colored backgrounds.

    What's the gap in level of play between FCS and high-level D2?

    log out of the forum on EVERY device (laptop, phone, tablet, etc) that you use, then clear cache/cookies on all of them, then it should stop. I had the same thing and it was frustrating af because every time I’d use my laptop I’d have to sign again everywhere else, then if I used my phone, I’d have to sign in again on laptop, etc. edit: I’m convinced the ads on this site put al kinds of nasty crap on your devices - worse than porn sites - and nobody can convince me otherwise. None of these issues have happened since I went ad-free. It works 1000000x better.

    Would there be any chance that the ACC would consider adding Temple? It gets them into Philadelphia (not that anyone cares about college football), fills a gap between Virginia and Boston, and... well that's it. Temple basketball hasn't been relevant in years but was once a top program, and Temple football hasn't been anything since Matt Rhule left.

    He a regular host on local radio here - he's hysterical... if dick and fart jokes are your thing. Fortunately they're mine.

    the S is for sucks. Need a more different S.

    Guy wouldn't know majesty if it came up and bit him in the face.

    Tom McCarthy is the Phillies TV PBP guy. Looks like he's doing AZ @ Tennessee. Last time he had a NFL conflict they "called up" his son, who does PBP for a minor league team somewhere.

    Why would they want the horsey to run into barbed wire? Doesn't make sense. That's why non-stationary logos shouldn't have stripes, or if they must, the stripes should be tapered in a way that doesn't form a cage around the thing. So there's one guy in black with his jersey pulled up to his chest, another guy in black with a t-shirt down to his ass, and two guys in white doing both - jersey pulled up to chest exposing t-shirt down to ass. And what is up with Williams' socks? Looks like some dope in white doing the same thing on the right. Why even bother?
  20. BBTV
    Which is why football teams should only have one helmet and no alternates or home/road. Those helmets are de facto logos. *Throwbacks are fine if trotted out sparingly.
  21. BBTV
    Just acknowledge that the cha hornets are the same franchise as the bobcats and the Pelicans the same as the old hornets. They need to make the decision at the time the team moves. Can’t retcon later.

    As far as record books go, when it comes to teams that don't matter, dissolving them is cleaner than moving them. Dissolve the Thrashers, establish Jets 2.0, have an expansion draft where they can draft any Thrashers player or a non-protected player from any other team (but let teams protect more players than usual), then fill in any gaps with ex-Thrashers (and then let other teams draft whatever is left over.) I think that's similar to the "de-merger" of the Stars/Sharks. Doesn't solve a situation like Cleveland-Baltimore, but for teams that don't really matter like the Thrashers, Coyotes, TB Rays, etc. it solves some issues. Not sure what I would have done with the Bobcats/Hornets/Pelicans situation, but what ended up happening was the absolute worst of all options.
  23. BBTV
    They'd have to pay 'fair market value' to contract them. While that's probably still less than what they'd get in an expansion fee, a relo fee would probably net more.
  24. BBTV
    Isn't the expansion fee what they're really after? They could make up some of that in a relocation fee, but since the purchaser would have to pay that on top of the purchase price (and I'm assuming that even a crappy-irrelevant team like the Coyotes is worth at least a few hundred mil) wouldn't that be a blocker to moving them rather than just having them play in a high-school rink? Seattle paid what - 600M or something like that? I have no idea what the 'yotes would sell for, but for it to make sense for the league, it'd probably have to be close to 1B USD - and does the Quebec group have that kind of money? Maybe... I don't know.

    Players' stool samples? Back in the day, I'd've paid a pretty penny for a logoed mason jar of Eric Desjardin's stool.
