Gretzky is the studio guy? I haven’t watched much nhl in the past decade, but 8 would have expected someone a little younger.

How did this post get 5 likes? Let's start: 1. Don't assume that there's much crossover between NHL and NFL fans. There's plenty of NFL fans that are barely aware of the NHL's existence. There may be some people who have to decide whether to spend their money on one vs the other, but there's plenty for whom there's no decision to be made because it's NFL or nothing. 2. "the city has a stronger connection to them then the Raiders, who from what I've seen haven't had the locals enthusiastic at all." LOL, what are you talking about "from what I've seen"? What have you seen? In what way do you have your finger on the pulse of the Las Vegas community? If you're going by 2020 attendance, then Ice Cap already covered it. 3. The locals don't even matter that much for an NFL team's success. Come 2022, worst case, the stadium will be filled with visiting fans, and the Raiders will still sell gear to some local fans as well as California fans and people who just like the brand. 4. A "history of bouncing from city to city"? 22 years in Oakland, 13 in LA, 25 in Oakland. I guess 13 years in LA counts as a "bounce" in sports terms, but it's not obscene. And they were in crap stadiums in both cities, and their moves were driven by the need for stadium improvements... which they no longer have any need for in the foreseeable future. There's zero chance of the team "bouncing" in fewer than the 13 years they were in Oakland, and if not for what Ice Cap said about the OITGDNHL way that league protects non-traditional markets, I'd bet my house that the Raiders outlast anyone else there.

Do the Mets have the HOF qualifier that the Phillies had (and kindasorta do have)? Looks like other than Gil Hodges, the others have achieved that status. Could also be the drug issues they each (especially Doc) had.

What’s up with the MLB threads? Looks like the SiG one was merged with the Logos one, then unmerged, now the logos one is locked? Should a new logos one be started?

Had Curt Schilling made the HOF, Phillies might have retired it since he spent a big portion of his career here and broke out. I think he deserves the HOF... but at the same time, I’m glad he’s not in.

One thing I've noticed is that with the new fonts, italics don't really stand out like they're supposed to - at least on my screen. There's been a couple times I've looked at a post and thought something looked odd, and then upon further inspection noticed that a word was italicized but didn't really look that way - at least not the way I'm used to.

The Expos didn't exactly have Browns-level of support prior to being sold to MLB and eventually moving. I know there's a lot behind the eventual failure of the Expos that goes beyond fan support, but this doesn't strike me as one of those situations where it has to be the original name if a team comes back.

Who else used the rounded nameplates like that? I'm sure someone did.

"dark mode app"? Didn't know there was apps for this. I haven't paid attention to the user names to see if it's always the same person, but I that would make sense.

Wasn't there an actual "edit" button before, instead of it being in the menu? Or am I thinking of a different forum? If it's available, an actual button for editing would be nice rather than it being in the "..." menu, but not a huge deal.

Also for some reason, some quoted posts appear as blue text on a black background. It's the embedded quote that gets color flipped, not the original post that's quoted. If I try to quote the post with the funky quote, it corrects it, so I can't post an example here. The most recent example is this one: EDIT: click on the first "NBA Changes 2020/21" and it'll take you to the post in question.

Just noticed that the issue (on desktop) where you get signed out for no reason and get the error message when signing back in is still present in this version. Workaround is to click the banner and it seems to auto-sign back in.

It’s not too boring to be a primary logo. It’s strong, dynamic, invokes both football and motion, and would make for a great helmet decal.

Don't need a number. Just do what I said earlier: make a white Texans jersey, make the sleeve cap green, make the shoulder horn thing white with green piping around it. Gets you a classic Jets jersey on the modern template. EDIT: for the home, just make a green Texans jersey with white sleeve, and green horn with white trim.

It's also an issue that very few - if any - players actually wear the Jets new uniform as intended, so it's hard to fairly judge. I think think they were the first team that I noticed had everyone wearing those silly T shirts

Just signed up.

What do the little badges on some members’ avatars mean? For example, Die Perske and LMU have them. Doesn’t seem to be tied to any particular user group that I can tell.

what do you mean “tell on some people”?

They could pretty easily have made a "modern" version of those by making a green jersey on the Texans template, making the insert green but use white piping around it, with the "sleeve" part being white. Now that TV numbers aren't really a thing they could probably have done even more.

I do. I think it's the only combo they have where everything looks like it was designed to go together vs mixing and matching pieces from different sets. For the gray pants to work with the navy top, they'd have to work green into the side stripe, but even then it wouldn't be better than the all navy. Most monochromes in the NFL suck, but some do work, and Seattle's is one of the best IMO.

Why are you posting a jersey that could never be worn due to the modern template? The sleeveholes would be at the seem above the swoosh, yet the sleeve design is entirely below it.

Dallas would never have left the NYG, WFT, and PHI, so Pittsburgh would be in some other division. When the merger happened, did the AFL teams keep their rosters and literally merge? Or was it more like the NFL granting expansion teams to certain AFL owners in their teams' cities?

People can keep reporting things, or Chris could make an ad arrangement that's less disrespectful to the loyal users that have helped build his empire.

I never said anything about a jet so I'm not sure who's arguing that.

I've only spent limited time in SF, but I can't really imagine tons of people from the west side of the bridge trying to drive to Alameda county to see the A's. It would be one thing if there was good mass transit to get there, but I suspect that the geography of the bay kinda naturally creates two markets within one.
