Max Power Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Phoenix, again? They had it in 1995 and they don't have a new arena or anything. Chicago hasn't had it since 1988 and we do have a new arena since then. The logo is pretty bland. Generic All-Star wordmark plus a cactus with some mountains for Arizona... how obvious.Didn't they wear those asinine All-Star jerseys with the gaudy colors scheme and the huge cactus last time the game was in Phoenix?

koizim Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Thank god its not like the last time a pro sports league had an event there.Well, technically the Super Bowl was in Glendale and the ASG will be in Phoenix, but you're right about it being better than the Super Bowl XLII logo. I think it looks like the logo for the most delicious tortilla chips ever.EVER.Took the words right out of my mouth. Engine, Engine, Number Nine, on the New York transit line, If my train goes off the track, pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up! Back on the scene, crispy and clean, You can try, but then why, 'cause you can't intervene. We be the outcast, down for the settle. Won't play the rock, won't play the pebble.

I'm not sure Detroit and Chicago do (although giving one to Chicago in a couple years might be a nice dress rehearsal for "you know what.")

That would be like not wanting to host the superbowl cause there is a dog fighter in the league or the fifa cause people head-but people in the head. I am sure that any team would want to host a league all-star game but Detriot for instance has a good team lately and usaully weaker teams want to host it to increase fans.

And regardless of the element it may bring, it does also bring a lot of TV exposure for the area which also brings the money with it. My personal opinion, I just think David Stern hates Detroit.

I don't recall them ever mentioning anything about the image of the players or anything like that though. It wouldn't surprise me if other owners feel the same way Ed does, and don't even want the game.
