Your Name Here Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Three things. I had no idea Donald Sutherland was an Expos fan. The PA was playing The Winner Takes it All by ABBA. Great tune. There's not a thing to like about the Mets, between their ugly uniforms and their logo and their dump of a ballpark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illinirox1 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I liked how they put the Expos' logo and wordmark on top of the visitors' dugout. Have other teams done that, or is it usually just the on deck circle? And why do some of the Expos have names on their jackets while others don't ?

TFoA Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Good Lord those Expos unis are fantastic. I love em.With that being said, it's a damn shame that a victory over the Mets at the New York Dump/Shea Stadium is the lone victorious highlight of their years in Montreal.

NJTank Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Three things. I had no idea Donald Sutherland was an Expos fan. The PA was playing The Winner Takes it All by ABBA. Great tune. There's not a thing to like about the Mets, between their ugly uniforms and their logo and their dump of a ballpark.Shea Stadium is the park only a Mets fan can love I will be sad to see it go, but I look forward to the day the Mets get a grand ballpark they've long deserved. That being said when the Mets are bad in 1981 they were as bad as you can get pretty much, its as depressing of place as can be.As for opposing team logos Mets put them on the dugout up until about 10 years ago or so, since then they just have a Shea Stadium written on it, I guess it became too much work for the grounds crew to change to every series. How about the OF wall with the pennants and the Mets two button collars, I was glad I was 5 at the time because being a Mets fans sucked in 1981.Speaking of Expos Final Game I WAS THEREhttp://boards.sportslogos.net/index.php?sh...p;p=entry www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
