  1. Really? That's the one I don't like You have to understand, their name and logos are already so far out there to begin with... but the logos were well-designed and the team had a semi-professional look to them. That gave the absurdity of their name and mascot room to breathe. This is just taking the punchline of the joke and adding "LOLZ #YOLO" to it.
  2. Somehow, I have over 20,000 profile views. Chris Creamer has only 13,000. I'm sort of creeped out.

  3. At least the Elvis cat is well drawn... I thought it was a Simon drawing.
  4. http://www.trbimg.com/img-1384439605/turbine/bal-aberdeen-ironbirds-to-switch-colors-to-ori-001/375Julianne Hough endorses that template.
  5. Just wait until the checkered-flag pattern uniforms come out with tire marks up and down the side. What's worse is that this is probably Brandiose's best work of the offseason.
  6. I think that the current Pacers uniforms are by far the best they have ever looked.
  7. I'm a fan of the Titans helmets and flaming thumbtack. I like the Greek fire and the way the flames wrap around the helmet. The only change I would make would be getting rid of the little pointy stripes.
  8. You've been in Columbus for a few weeks and you're already an Ohio slappy? How long until you start Cleve'jacking threads... (CBJ's look is definitely underrated... Top in the league is a little nuts, but Top 10 isn't out of the question. It's that awful alternate jersey that brings it down... And bumping up the piping off the hem like on the original version would help as well IMO.)
  9. This is so much better than Facebook. I can say "flywire piping" and not get de-friended.

  10. As other people pointed out, adding Rutgers and Maryland does zero for competitiveness outside of Maryland basketball, but is all about getting the Big Ten Network into 15 million extra homes. Offering the bigger boys a chance to get in on that revenue stream is going to be the main attraction of a potential offer.
  11. A few opinions: Texas is in no hurry to do anything. They are the captain of the Big 12. They are going to see if the Big 12 is salvageable (perhaps by grabbing a FSU or Miami) before jumping to the PAC 12 boat. I really do think there are some spurned feelings by the B1G toward ND for the ACC move. The ND/Big East agreement was always viewed in "oh, that's cute." terms. Personally, I would love it if the B1G has had the ACC in their crosshairs for some time now and then ND went and anchored themselves to that target out of nowhere. Now whether or not those feelings will still be strong enough 5 years from now when the ship is leaving dock to offer one last time remains to be seen. I think it's just as likely ND ends up in the B12 as the B1G at this point. Just personal opinion, but once conferences reach 16 teams, I think expansion will slow. At that point, you'll have enough to form a 8 team football playoff between those 4 conferences. The conference basketball tournaments will be mini-March Madnesses in themselves. These events will be marquee TV entertainment and will bring in bank. Once we get to that point, I don't foresee conferences bringing in more schools for the heck of it and having to split revenue any more than they already have to.
  12. Notre Dame aligning themselves with the ACC for all sports seems to make sure they'll have an "in" if it comes down to that. I wouldn't be so sure... If we have to get down to four 16-team conferences, of the five major conferences left, three are safe bets (SEC, B1G, PAC) for the final table. That leaves the ACC and B12 fighting over that last spot at the dinner table. Also, it appears that with the B1G moving into the Atlantic, they're looking for 2 more ACC schools (UNC, GA TECH?) to round them into 16. Then you pair that with rumblings that FSU and Clemson are looking to split for either the SEC or B12... And all of a sudden, that leaves the ACC with VA Tech football, Duke basketball, and Big East leftovers. You really think ND will leave football independence for that? It will be interesting to see what happens first: the B1G and SEC getting to 16 (which, odds are, will pick the ACC dry and save the Big 12) or the PAC 12 expanding southward and getting to 16 (which will likely kill the Big 12).
  13. Hearing rumors that this is another step in Jim Delaney's master plan (which I have to imagine is written with crayon in the middle of a Lisa Frank coloring book) of a 16 team super-conference that ends with getting North Carolina into the B10. Going back to rams' point, if this is nothing more than the B10 playing the role of "spurned lover turned arsonist" to Notre Dame, I would be slightly surprised. Don't get me wrong, nothing would make me happier than a 4 super conference alignment with ND freezing out in the cold of football independence, but I'm not sure what Rutgers or Maryland bring to the table outside of being located somewhat near large metropolitan areas. If you ask me, a school like Boston College would be a much better fit than a Rutgers from an academic and athletic tradition standpoint.
  14. I'm curious to hear your reasoning why Tampa Bay and Carolina have "proven" themselves as productive hockey cities while Anaheim and NY Islanders are contraction fodder. Please elaborate.
  15. Huh? When did Morgo turn into Lights Out?
  16. I'll be releasing the sig template in the next few weeks... hang tight!

  17. See, that's the problem... waiting for "them to come" is what got baseball into this mess. The Rays need to move to an area with demonstrated baseball interest. I know that the Vancouver Canadians have drawn really well since they were brought back in 2000... maybe it's time to give that market a shot at the major leagues. Please tell me you realized that was a reference to Field of Dreams.
  18. I firmly believe that this is the best jersey the Mighty Ducks have ever worn:
  19. Me too. I also love the original Nashville Predators 3rd Jersey. That shade of mustard was insanely cool and the 3D cat looked great on the front.
