The_Admiral Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 "ATL" is stupid on a jersey and "PHX" is even worse. I don't care if people call it that. It looks stupid. Don't do that. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Yeah, pretty much. I'd actually prefer "ATLA" to "ATL", but both are pretty dumb. It's not necessary to abbreviate a seven-letter name.

IceCap Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Snazy. I'd like to see the refs in the NHL go all grey as well actually.

It looks okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Why can't NBA referees wear zebra stripes like everybody else? They should look like actual sporting officials as they're blowing calls and associating with organized crime. These look okay, but that weird polyester off-grey...I dunno, it's like it looks simultaneously So Right and So Wrong on old guys. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad. Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Considering the fact that pretty much everybody I know from out-of-town either calls it A-Town, The A, or ATL, it makes sense from a colloquial standpoint. I mean, it makes more sense than the Suns slapping PHX on their alt, because I have never heard anybody (either from or away from Phoenix) refer to that town as PHX.Agreed...I'm from Knoxville and everyone i know from here or georgia or the southeast says that they're heading to "the ATL" when they go. I'm also 23, so I think anyone over 30 might not be "with" this vernacular. Red Goat Creations :: Graphic Design Solutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discogod Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Even here in the UK I'm aware of Atlanta being referred to as "ATL" (going back to the Outkast album "ATLiens"). And wearing it on the jerseys makes as much sense as the Sixers wearing "Phila".I like 'em. Nice to see the Hawks back in red, as they always should be. Give it a couple of years and the alt with become the primary road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And wearing it on the jerseys makes as much sense as the Sixers wearing "Phila"."Philadelphia" is a much longer word then "Atlanta" and is thus harder to fit onto a jersey. So in that case an abbreviation is acceptable. There is no real reason why a team would need to abbreviate "Atlanta" though.

CDixonDesign Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 While I somewhat agree, Atlanta to ATL isn't really so much of an abbreviation, but it's probably more geared at attracting more of the demographic the NBA caters to, the Hip Hop crowd of sorts... which is understandable...

Looks like an airport code. I hope the trend doesn't catch on. The Wizards will be wearing BWI and what will the Knicks get, JRK or LGA? Bulls get ORD!They're obviously marketing towards rap fans.

Arts11 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I'm not opposed to the use of "ATL" on the jerseys, but I have to admit, on closer inspection, having just 3 letters on the jersey looks sorta weird. Outside of that and PHX, I dont know of any other American sports team that uses such few letters on their jerseys (excluding lettered logos), so that's probably why I find it so weird.
