paynomind Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Thats actually not too shabby. Being unfamiliar with this rivalry, where is this used? T-shirts and the like? Or do they go as far as painting the field during the intraleague games? NCFA Sunset Beach Tech - Octopi ΓΔΒ!

HurricaneDavid Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 The logo itself is fine, but the concept is ridiculous. Both Washington and Baltimore have their OWN Beltways. Why is there a need to "battle" over "the" Beltway... and which Beltway IS "the" Beltway being battled over? Furthermore, the date on this logo is referring to the PRESEASON games between the two teams, NOT the regular season contests. VERY LAME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, the date on this logo is referring to the PRESEASON games between the two teams, NOT the regular season contests. VERY LAME.Good points. The main roads connecting the cities are I-95 and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway (the older of the two). If the creator of the logo wants to be accurate, it should probably be called "The Battle of the Parkway" (especially since the Parkway turns into Russell Street in Baltimore and passes right next to Camden Yards and passes within about 1 mile of RFK and is the best way to get there from the north).

meetthemets Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 The logo is okay. It's pretty pro Washington. You would think that in a rivalry logo you would at least keep the color scheme 50/50 or somewhat neutral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think that in a rivalry logo you would at least keep the color scheme 50/50 or somewhat neutral. Seeing as how this logo is touting the March 31st, exhibition game date at RFK, I'm not surprised it's pro-Washington, the logo for the April 1st date in Baltimore probably is more Oriole-esque.

NDwas Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I haven't seen this logo anywhere but here.The Battle of the Beltway is for I-495 (the Capital Beltway), as my sig shows. This is not a bad logo by any means, but whoever did this should only be recognizing the battle itself, not specific games. I mean, they're only playing each other ELEVEN times between now and my birthday, June 25. Tomorrow's just your future yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpnation Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 The Battle of the Beltway is for I-495 (the Capital Beltway) Is Baltimore annexing DC if they win? The Capital Beltway is nowhere near Baltimore! Baltimore is a good 40 min north.Subway series makes sense to me for NYC, the L-series would make sense for Chicago. Baltimore and DC are two very very different cities. Also, isn't Baltimore's beltway 695? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard88 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Also, isn't Baltimore's beltway 695? Yes. I can just about see it from here.

They're at fault if anyone's to blame for this. And wasn't this almost the same case when the Expos and the Jays played each other (minus the closeness)? ^Now although this "rivalry" could technically be named based on the I-95 connection, so could games against Atlanta, Boston, Florida, New York, Philadelphia, and Tampa Bay.Significant Orioles' mishaps this offseason:None.Significant Nationals' mishaps this offseason:1.

Let's have an I-90 battle between the Mariners and the Giants. Its semi-tradition to call some of the rivalries named after the roads/interstates that the fans travel. The Cardinals have 2...The I-55 Rivarly or Series (Cards vs. Cubs) The I-70 series (Vs. the Royals)Sometimes you'll hear the Cubs/Brewers games called the I-94 Series. There is a name for the Angels/Dodgers series that relates to interstates, but I can't remember what it is. Its stupid, but its been around for a little while.
