boardname Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 The MLB watches this site pretty closely; I'm not gonna be the one to ruin everything for everyone. Bart Simpson was right.... Do you want to know the terrifying truth?Or do you want to see me sock some dingers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 really huh. How did the NHL get your home phone number when you have no personal information listed in your profile.They saw just your screen name and knew exactly how to get in touch with you.Explain. For someone like Pantone, who has a website, they can get his contact information from when he registered his domain name.Besides, if they can't come after you personally, they'll go after Chris as the owner of this site.

fashman23 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Actually, the post I made mentioned how I knew about the changes. I foolishly explained this in detail as since I did not release any picutres, only words, I thought I was not doing anything wrong. The NHL contacted my source and through him contacted me to disucss. In the end, why would I post something on here that is not true. Do you really think it makes me look cool to have made this type of mistake. The purpose of my post was to thank the people on here who do have inside info for posting what they can.

VitaminD Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Give me a reason why the ball and glove logo sucks?For one, it has absolutely nothing to do with the art of making and brewing beer. The team was named the Brewers in tribute to the rich history of the largely German-American population that elevated making beer from cultural tradition to an art form. Most times, the logo and colors ought to reflect the team nickname somewhat, and in an ideal situation, the nickname fits the city name (think: New Orleans Jazz, Minneapolis Lakers - and how ridiculous those teams sound in Utah and Los Angeles).Milwaukee has never had a good logo/uniform since the Milwaukee Braves... courtesy of Boston.Be that as it may, the ball & glove era uniforms would be included in that time period, which would contradict your argument... It's unique, creative and genius.Agreed; so is the Rubik's Cube, but it wouldn't make a good logo for a sports team.I show friends and family that logo, and they love it!Super-duper. We are all entitled to our own opinions. I like the logo for its creativity, but it still has no place representing a sports team when it has nothing to do with the team's nickname. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Oh please. The Boston B has nothing to due with Red Socks. Nor does the New York NY have anything to do with a Yankee. The Giants logo has nothing Giant in it whatsoever, and where are the twins in the Twins primary? I saw no Expos in the Expos old logo.

Bernd Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 ^ ...except that the hat logo for a team does not necessarily have to match that team's nickname. In fact, it rarely does.And 10 million Angelenos would argue the statement that the name Los Angeles Lakers sounds "ridiculous." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It rarely does, but generally only when it is letters representing the city. The MB is a logo in and of itself, and a logo should match the team's identity.And, while LA Lakers sounds nice, it doesn't make sense, and while I wouldn't go as far as to say it is "ridiculous", it is pretty close.Utah Jazz is still way worse.

ProvidenceRI Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Hey, I'm not a Brewers fan, but I would rally around the logo that existed when the team was good.Beer is about fun, as was the old logo.Have they ever done a poll on old Brewers players? What would they like to see?Thanks again for whoever (Pat) debunked the myth of the logo representing the sports team. I used to work for a marketing company, so it maks me ill whenever I see a ballclub have a logo directly out of a marketing meeting.... gold and navy blue were the hot colors when it was created.Brewers, be yourself! Be the team with a baseball glove logo. Somebody has got to do i: ask the Nets and NY Jets and Winnipeg Jets. They both have something representative of their sport in the logo.What about something like this?http://brandx.net/pilots/flocker.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Have to chime in re the Jazz keeping that nickname when they bolted New Orleans for Salt Lake. Keeping the nickname "Jazz" is a contender for most inexplicable team naming decision in the history of sports. At least it wasn't the other way around. Imagine the New Orleans Mormons taking the court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANGELCAT-IDA61 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 A few days ago, I read some information, posted on the message board about the up and coming mlb uniform changes for the 2006 seasonand I have a few questions about it. It said that there will be a lot of vests, butonly listed the Twins and the Rangers, as if they need another alternate jersey.The Brewers wearing blue and yellow pinstripes?? Huh?!? I hope they don't meanblue uniforms with the yellow pinstripes. Imagine how hidious that would look.like pajamas. How about the Chicago cubs? Weren't they supposed to add a redalternate jersey for next year or was that a rumor? I sure hope it is, because itwouldn't look right. I also thought the Nationals were to be adding a vest home jersey next season with three new caps with the "DC" logo replacing the softpretzel looking "W" which seems temperary. I hope the white Sox will be wearingtheir 1906 jerseys for just one season, like they did with their 1917 ones in 2001.And last but not least, any news on the St. Louis Cardinals making any changesmajor or minor, as well as adding an alternate jersey for the first time for theirnew ballpark next year. I hope their unis remain the same like the Phillies and Tigers did when they moved to their new park. If you have any further information, if it isn't too premature, keep me posted.

yh Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Folks, since this topic spawned (yet another) debate on the Milwaukee Brewers' ball and glove "mb" logo, I split those posts from this thread and the debate can be continued here.
