hellslayer2000 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Who would you retire? Can't really think of anyone worthy without it seeming like you forced it, unles you wanted to do Bob McAdoo for the Buffalo Braves. You could I guess do Bill Walton but his best years weren't on the Clippers. I think your next best option is Elton Brand whenever he retires, and then Blake Griffin in about 15 years. One other option i guess is Eric Piatkowski for longevity reasons but that'd be a pretty sad choice for first retired number I think if they would retire anything it be Ralph Lawler their hall of fame announcer and really the only reason I would watch a clips game before Blake griffin.

Lee Noire Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Yeah the only player I could think of is McAdoo and maybe something for Ralph Lawler as the last poster said. "Lawler's law states: 1st to 100 wins...its the law." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaytonBlue Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Glad the Rays Wild Card Banner simply says Wild Card and not "Wild Card Champion"You can win the Wild Card, but it doesn't make you a champion.Same rule should go for every bowl game not named the BCS Championship.

Jose D. Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Are they moving away from the "banner wall" atop that one end of the arena for all the tenants?just them so far...http://espn.go.com/l...ndy-hook-familyThe Kings had followed the tradition of the Lakers, their co-tenants in the Forum and Staples, by hanging their banners on the walls of the arenas. But after doubling their number of banners from two to four, the Kings joined every other NHL team and moved their banners into the rafters.The club also made new banners for the transition, hanging its Western Conference title banner before fans even entered the arena next to a similar new banner celebrating the 1992-93 conference title. The Kings hung new ones for their five retired numbers, including Dionne, Vachon and Wayne Gretzky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're a team like MTL then I guess you can't find room for extra Conference Champs banners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always bugged me and I was wondering if it's just a crappy camera.They're actually easily visible, even for the Arenas/St. Pats logos.In person they are actually quite beautiful. They're probably my favourite, due in part in them using the logos that were used at that time, perhaps they would have been more interesting if they used the Stanley Cup as it looked at the time. I think the Edmonton Eskimos have done that with the Grey Cup (which as gone through three versions so far.)Also doesn't the Flyers also have the Cup on their banner? Or have they changed that?

Or have they changed that?No, the Flyers never had the cup on theirs. Here's a shot from google. Pay no attention to the Bobby Clarke banner, as the retired number banners were all redone last year to include action shots of the players.

BBTV Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Is there a database anywhere would you can see all of the SC Champ banners, ECF / Wales conference banners, etc.? Seems like a logical extension of that awesome hockey uniform db, no? Though it'd also be cool to see for the other sports.Along the lines of the other sports, it sorta bothers me that division titles in NFL aren't celebrated (by most teams) as much as any other sport. Maybe it's because there's no real way to hang banners in most arenas, or maybe just because it's not the tradition. It really seems to devalue the accomplishment though (though the fact that for a time, 3 other teams in your own division could also qualify for the playoffs also kinda devalued it.)I know here everyone is furious with the Eagles for their lack of championship since 1960, but I think that looking around and seeing 8 division banners might soften the blow a bit (even if it's only the same amount as the other two teams besides the Cowboys would have.)

GuitarPunk2512 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 New York Islanders-Nassau Coliseumas an islander fan nd long island resident, everytime i enter the coliseum i always admmire the islanders banners and just look up at the greatness that once was. Im wondering how barclays center is going to handle the islanders banners, i hope all of them make the move because that would be an additional slap in the face next to losing our team to the city. also, the dragons banners were removed after the AFL folded.

If you're a newer team and that's all you have, you should celebrate it. However, if you won the Cup that same year, hanging a Conference Champs banner is just dumb. It makes it look like you're hanging a banner just to fill some space in the rafters. Quote Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.
