powersurge Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I have to admit, I laughed when I read the title of this thread.I thought to myself "This entire thread is going to revolve around the fact that this type of thread has appeared a million times before, and everyone is going to bitch and moan back and forth about how annoying these types of threads are, while other people will defend their right to post threads like this" Man....I should play Lotto tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmaker17 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Sheesh, rainmaker, should we just not have any posts here at all? Is that what you want?I, for one, enjoy this topic and I will make comments about it later.But badmouthing the topic, and the topic's creater, is out of line. You may not like the post, but others might. So let's quit whining, OK?I didn't badmouth the topic or its creator, nor do I have a track record of doing so. I was pointing out this topic is coming up repeatedly now from this poster. Reference the AFC/NFC threads for an example. I'm not trying to get this graveyarded or 'bash' the topic. Discuss away. No malice intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckymack Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 As a newbie, I wouldn't have seen the other threads that discussed this topic. I'm glad he made this thread. If he'd have bumped another thread, he'd have been ridiculed as well.Be that as it is, I've a simple suggestion:Let we newbs act like newbs amongst ourselves. If you don't like the thread(or have seen it a million times before), just ignore it. There's no reason to knock someone for trying to communicate. I'm not saying your point's invalid. I'm just asking for a little bit of consideration. Sigs are for sissies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Cannot agree, my friend. If these problems aren't pointed out, how are newbies to learn the protocol? In his case, he had his previous (virtually) identical threads graveyarded. He knew better. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

random_ax Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 Well, did you post similar threads?It's a sports logo forum...they're ALL similar threads. LOLI have posted threads rating the NFC and AFC helmets and threads saying why I didn't like the Bears helmet and one asking where to get Hamburg Sea Devil merchandise. But I never posted one asking people what their criteria for liking or disliking footballlogos was.Perhaps not directly, but in your other threads you set out the same criteria for what you like and don't like that you listed in the first post of this thread.Before you were at the very least implicitly asking for others to chime in with their own opinions and reasons thereof, this time you made the request explicit.I guess you and some others miss the point of what I'm asking. I'm not asking you to rate any particular helmet. I mentioned some as examples. I was just wondering what criteria people used when they judged a football logo (good or bad)....and that's all. It's not asking you to praise or rip on a logo. I was just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are guidelines and rules, I'm not aware of them, I never knew there was a graveyard orany banning of users etc. You can't assume everyone knows about it.

I come here to discuss and read about sports logos, not who got banned or what topic crashed and burned. I knew bannings happened but figured it was for flaming or obscene language or something other than someone not liking your topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwtrailtrekker Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 1st priority: is it memorable? is it iconic to where, you see the logo, and think of the team2nd: creative yet simple3rd. colors. are they sharp? do they fit the team name and the location?4th. does the logo compliment the football uniform in general. does it shine on the helmet?5rd: relevance? a football should be incorporated, but it isnt neccesary. theres some great ones without (AZ cards, seahawks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
