insert name 5,191 Posted April 3, 2018 I hate when teams change banners just to fit the current era. The banner should have the appropriate colors from when they won it! So many teams do this crap and it's annoying as hell. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So many teams do this crap and it's annoying as hell. I used to feel this way. I used to think that the banner that's displayed should be the one that was raised at the time, which would usually have been whatever the then-current look was. Now I appreciate the consistency, especially since a team like the Sixers would have one banner in black-red-gold and all the rest in basic RWB. They really butchered it when they retired Barkley's number and put the then-current black/gold logo on it, even though it was in the traditional red-white color/font. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, look at the "R" s in the Niedermayer banner compared to the R in the Brodeur banner ... and the other letters as well 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigEd76 329 Posted April 16, 2018 Eagles SB52 banner spotted at NovaCare Complex The design of the other banners matches what's at the Linc now, so I'm assuming this is what we'll see there on opening night 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d way rather see a plain “Super Bowl ____ Champions” or something of that ilk. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would hate if the 5 Super Bowl banners that the Eagles are going to win in the next 5 years all had different logos. This looks terrible to me (except the last two, which show the Lombardi trophy prominently) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm saying sticking an ugly logo on a banner memorializing a team's championship sullies the banner. Nothing to do with consistency. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strangely it doesn't look quite as big when its hanging way up in the rafters Caps have also updated their Eastern Conf champs banner, no more flying eagle: 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

San Diego 650 Posted October 8, 2018 Divisional banners are so lame. Championship or nothing imo. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBTV 20,957 Posted October 8, 2018 1 hour ago, San Diego said: Divisional banners are so lame. Championship or nothing imo. Completely disagree. A divisional-championship is still a championship, and while I understand that it's not the overall league championship, it's still an accomplishment. At the end of the day, the banners aren't for the players or teams, they're for the fans. Gives them an event to attend when they're raised, gives them something to look at and take pictures of, give us fodder for this thread, and is less boring than nothing. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
