You must live under a rock if you don't know what ATL culturally means. This is how you get that crap that's in the NBA... ORL, PHX, SAC ? I mean really? Among cities with three letter abbreviations, MIA or NYC is the closest one to have an argument. 12 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaliforniaGlowin 2,060 Posted May 2, 2020 LAX would be awesome for an LA Xtreme jersey, but not for the NFL. These teams are not edgy enough for that. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know you’re likely an Atlanta fan, and to each their own, but that whole thing should’ve died in the Falcons thread. We get it. “‘ATL’ means more than you’ll ever even begin to comprehend...yadda yadda...”. If you keep forcing it on people and shoving it down their throats, no one is going to take you seriously enough to do any type of cultural research. 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just blatant ignorance to keep beating that same drum... You don't have to respond you know. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCL 471 Posted May 2, 2020 Thinking through some others: Jets: JFK -Most obvious IATA in the NFL Giants: ERW Rams: LAX Chargers: LBC -Not their IATA but LBC resonates culturally Raiders: OAK/CPT/OAK/LAS Bears: MDW or ORD -This one is difficult, you want to give them Chi as no other city in America is as associated with the first three letters of their given name as Chicago. Chitown, Chi City, ect. Despite the size and traffic of ORD I am going MDW for the tie in with Monsters of the Midway. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL, I was an usher there from '03-'12, so literally every game during that time frame, and a bunch since. I"ve never heard a "FLY EAGLES FLY!" "FLY EAGLES FLY!" "FLY EAGLES FLY!" chant. Ever. A chant is not the same as the fight song, which you only hear after a TD and by definition is not a chant 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Htown1141 1,493 Posted May 3, 2020 Real quick, but if you need to put your team slogan/chant/fight song name/words in general on your professional football uniform, then the concept for your uniform is either extremely weak or you're telling your audience that you have a lack of faith that they'll relate to or recognize the uniform as one of their team. Possibly both. 12 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
