IceCap Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 @bubba....I can´t, i don´t know them. - But when the habs won alot of cups, there were only a handful of teams, and they got all of the good canadian born players, right ?You sound stupid. Stop posting.You sound ignorant. Keep posting it's funny.SLAM is right. Jason here is showing a complete lack of understanding of NHL history. Not knowing NHL history is fine. Making a point to comment on NHL history when you clearly have no idea what you're talking about is going to get you called out.

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 SLU... note the typoThings like this always boggle my mind. Someone had to write up what was going on that banner, then submit it to someone else for approval, then send it off to the banner making company, who sends it back to the team, who puts it up in the rafters...all with a typo.

JasonFromMiami Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Yeah well, i think it´s okay to question why a team has so many championships , and other teams that played in the same time era have few or no cups, it was a long time ago, maybe we don´t know the whole truth. Yankees also have alot of chips, compared to the other teams, maybe there is something there we don´t know about either. --On a messageboard it would be boring if we all had the same opinion and views on things, would not be much to discuss if everyone agreed on everything.

Rockstar Matt Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Clippers' Pacific Division title banners at their practice facility. Doc and the players refuse to have them at StaplesI think they kind of outwitted themselves on this one. You wait all these years to start winning any banners and now you won't acknowledge them because the Lakers share the place?To be fair, they would look pretty stupid next to the Lakers' Championship Banners.

The_Admiral Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Then don't put them next to them. It's a big building; hang them somewhere where both teams' banners won't be in most people's line of sight. The Clippers owe it to their fans to acknowledge what achievements the team has had.

OnWis97 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I don't really have a problem with the Olympic banners. It's a sport of individuals, and at the time of the Olympics, those were Miami's individuals.I guess I see your point.I gotta say as well. Have never seen a trainer get memorialized in any way by a team. Owners, GM's, broadcasters, or players yes, but what's the story on him?I see the point, but it's really tacky looking. I think it would make sense to go with "Heat Olympians" with a list on one banner.

OnWis97 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 On 11/19/2014 at 1:33 PM, DC in Da House w/o a Doubt said: So these are last year's Final Four teams that did not win it all. This is based on no homerism; Wisconsin's makes the most sense. The Final Four is still a big thing in college hoops; I know some people think that these are just the first three losers, but it still matters. I can deal with Kentucky's "Runner Up" banner (particularly given the no-frills style of their banners), but I still think "Final Four" is the way to go...is it important to call out one more win on the banner (and this has nothing to do with who that win was against). Florida's is awful. Just put "Final Four". Casual fans may not really put 2+2 together on "National Semifinalist" and "Final Four" still carries some cache.

BBTV Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 If they aren't National Champions, can't they say "regional champion" with the Final Four logo? I agree that "runner up" is pretty dumb - is there another word for it similar to regional champion? Like "left side of braket Champion"?

OffCenteredScoreboard Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 New York Islanders have a team hall of fame banner to honor some players without retiring the number. (note Bourne, Westfall, Morrow, Flatley, Johnson are the ones whose number is not retired) They are missing some key players though (Goring, Tonelli, come to mind) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer15 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Speaking to that "honored not retired their number" thing, the Leafs do that.They only have retired numbers 5 (Bill Barilko) & 6 (Ace Bailey) Quote GTA United(USA) 2015 + 2016 USA Champions/Toronto Maroons (ULL)2014, 2015 + 2022 Gait Cup Champions/Toronto Northmen (TNFF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001mark Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 It bothers me that the Blue Jays have retired 'Pat Gillick' & the '# 12'.Future gens of fans won't all know right away that retired 12 is for Roberto Alomar. It's just a nameless number banner with the HOF logo. Quote @2001mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YELDARBfield Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Been meaning to share some banner photos from work.Since we do not own/operate the building, the banners are frequently removed for concerts and such if they are in the way or deemed unsightly. While I appreciate how the older banners from the Mid-South Coliseum are different to match the branding of that time, it drives me crazy that they are all different sizes and styles. Re-doing these is on my short list for the offseason.What do you think makes for a good banner? I'm sure this has been discussed in thread already, but I don't feel like reading 43 pages.

2001mark Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 What makes a good banner? I think simple banners in a quality set make the best. Edmonton Oilers might have the best banners imo, & not just because they were the greatest teams - there are Montreal Canadiens' of the world with plenty more...

Guest Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I feel like a good banner normally has some kind of stripe or border. Many without those elements feel cheap to me. That Parsons banner is a good example to follow, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I like simple, colour and style coordinated ones like the Oilers and the Ducks. All the same style and the different coloured banners represent different championships.Don't change the logo and colours of the older banners, sure you can change the template to match the others, but keep the correct logos and colours. Scott Brower(?) and the the 1996-97 Eastern Division Champions were in the old logos, not the current one and they never were a part of the current set of logos. It's the same with the Ducks and the Mighty Ducks banner. If the Ducks were to retire old Mighty Ducks players, I would want them retired in Mighty Ducks style because they never wore current Ducks jerseys.
