Regarding Favre: All I have to say is thank God the Jets don't wear the unis they wore for most of the 80's and 90s. I think that'd make my eyes bleed seeing Favre in that get up.

Either way it's going to be awfully weird seeing him in that uniform. At least i'll somewhat get used to it since he'll be in the same division as the Bills.

As a packer fan, seeing Brett in a Jets uni will be hard enough, I agree, thak God it isnt one of those lime green and white disasters they used to where. Now I think they have one of the better unis in the league, so that might help ease the pain a little

When exactly did the Jets where[sic] "lime green and white"?

I found another that decided to have a go at this topic. Plenty already mentioned, but it's always fun to get the perspective of those outside this fine community.

That's actually really well done.

I think this thread was created for stuff like this...

I'm really curious to see what the Penguins do for their banners from this year, since as far as I know this is the first time they've won more than one without winning all three, and they've done that cool triple-banner "cha mpi ons" thing in the past.

I think they will look something like this, which is basically just like their old ones, only with different colors and conference/division names:

Maybe the real conference champions one will be hung slightly higher than the others in the non-cup group.

But since theres no divisional playoffs, there's no need for a Regular Season designation. You don't think they'd just split Champions across two banners?

Also, I never thought about the color differences between the banners. These will look pretty odd next to the ones with the bright gold.

Wouldn't the Reds have that honor? Or at least any of the class of 1883 (unless the Braves were in that, and I just didn't do my research.)

Flyers and Sixers at the Wachovia Center. The ones you can't see are the Phantoms 2005 Calder Cup, a 610 WIP banner, and one for Billy Idol (or Joel, can't remember which one) for having 600 or so concerts in Philly:

I would HOPE it's not Billy Idol...

...and Billy Joel has the #12 retired at MSG for his record 12-sold out shows there...

...and Bruce Springsteen & The E-Street Band at the Meadowlands have a banner...

Billy Joel's Philadelphia banner is for 46 sellouts, and Springsteen's is for 45 sellouts (or at least it was last time I saw it - it could be more now.)

Why does Charles Barkley's retired number banner have the "new" logo on it? It looks ridiculously out of place.

No kidding. Good catch.

Because they retired his number after they had updated their logo. That's the reason, I definitely disagree with that reason though.

Yeah, they were really big into their new "identity" back then. It sucks that they used that logo.

Toronto Blue Jays Banners

Why don't the Blue Jays have an AL East Champs and AL Champs Banners for the years they won the World Series? Don't most teams have the banners for their division championships and League/Conference championships even when they win the Big Title?

The Phillies also only celebrate their highest championship, so in 1993, they only had a NL Champions sign, not an NL East Champions sign, even though they won the division.

Mellon Arena, Pittsburgh:

Stanley Cups

I always liked the "triple-championship" banner idea, but what would they do if they won another cup in a year where they didn't win the division? It would look pretty weird to have a double-championship banner next to the triples.

Well, they actually didnt win the division both times. At least not in the regular season. The division part of the triple banner shows that they won it in the playoffs, same with the conference part of it. The regular season division championships are hung the seperate group at the other end.

Yeah, but there actually were divisional playoffs back then, so it is still an accurate banner. Now that the playoffs are just top 8 per conference, you could win the cup while only winning your conference and not your division.

Yeah. I hope they keep the old ones if we win it again rather than changing them to be consistent with a new one.

Well at least it won't be an issue (win or lose) this season.

Larry Czonka indeed finished with the Giants. It was he who Joe Pisarchek was attempting to hand-off too in the "miracle at the Meadowlands" play that Herman Edwards returned for a touchdown.

I've always (apparently mistakenly) said it like sands. Then again I also say Aunt like ant.

Stupid font related question:

Is the "a" in the word sans (as in sans-serif) pronounced more like "sands" or like "sauna"?

Another stop on the Adam Oates retirement tour.

NICE!!!! DEATH TO RETRO BRICK BULL:censored:!!!!!

Sorry to have to come on here and beg for help, but I'm having trouble finding a freeware version of the Doom (or something reasonable close) font. I found freeware Doom font, but it was totally different. Any assistance would be appreciated. This is not for commercial use.
