pelicanfan Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 since we’re on the topic of throwbacks and anniversaries. i find it pretty funny and sad that the pelicans have completely forgotten about their own anniversary of 20 years. no anniversary for the team has ever been acknowledged before (the 10 year anniversary was overshadowed by tom benson’s purchase of the team, plus they were still called the hornets which still didn’t resonate with the city very well) not even a little 20 year logo anywhere? ouch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most teams that have relocated, from what I've seen, try to stay away from these sorts of things to avoid the fanbase starting an uproar about "You spent x years in this city and you're just gonna ignore us?!" (ie. Nets move to Brooklyn, circa 2012) OKC ignored their 10th anny. in 2018/19. Memphis celebrated 10 years in Memphis in 2010/11, then celebrated the franchise's 25th in 2019/20. Sacramento has only aknowledged thier time in California, with their 20th in '04/'05, 25th in '09/'10, 30th in '14/'15, and thier 35th in '19/'20. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like football where they call the coin flip, or hockey where only captains can tally to the ref without penalty. The captains C in basketball is meaningless and that’s why no teams use them, because if you are the team captain in basketball everyone already knows. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The captains C in basketball is meaningless and that’s why no teams use them, because if you are the team captain in basketball everyone already knows. For one, this jersey has the C because it's a throwback and the Warriors of the early '90s used it. So there's that. But you're thinking of the term "captain" rather rigidly. A captain doesn't have to serve a specific function in the game the way they do in soccer or hockey. Sometimes it's just an honorific to denote the team's leader. It's as much an internal thing as it is external -- this is the person who has been given the responsibility of setting the tone in the locker room, in practice, etc. It's more about denoting leadership within a squad than anything else. It's not, and really never was, a common practice in the NBA. But it's far from meaningless. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be the Nike template that has forced everything to be smaller. 5 Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

ScubaSteve Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Might get flak for this but I really do think if they switch up the wordmark its the best the Wizards have ever looked. Blue and gold fits them so much better than being another RWB team (Nation's capital be darned) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
