BlueSky Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 And here it is. Strangely, it doesn't say 'Saints' anywhere on it.Sadly, Georgia, my state of residence, likely won't see fit to issue a similar plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc49erfan15 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Solid design, IMO. I like the "Louisiana" in the Saints font. The curve even says "Superdome" to me, but I could really be stretching that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeauxColonels Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 "World Champions" sounds good to me.On a side note, the articles down here stated that this is not the original design of the plate. The first one submitted was actually rejected by the team. I'd be curious to see what the original design looked like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NBA- NBA ChampionsThe MLB- World "Series" ChampionsFor the love of....The fact that no other American football team in the world could beat the Super Bowl Champions means everything to this discussion. The UFL, the American football leagues around the world (even the AFL and CFL which are technically different games) all pale in comparison to the NFL. It's an undisputed fact that the best of the best of gridiron football players in the world play in the NFL. As such I have no problem with the Super Bowl Champions referring to themselves as "World Champions" because by virtue of being Super Bowl Champions they've proven they're the best team in the best league of the sport in the world.

Gothamite Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Exactly.The Super Bowl is the highest level of competition in its sport in the world. Same with the World Series. I don't know anything about European basketball or ice hockey, maybe there are other leagues which could someday make a run at the NBA, maybe not. In all of those leagues, the League champion is also the World Champion. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Exactly.The Super Bowl is the highest level of competition in its sport in the world. Same with the World Series. I don't know anything about European basketball or ice hockey, maybe there are other leagues which could someday make a run at the NBA, maybe not. In all of those leagues, the League champion is also the World Champion.Not really, when you consider that "World Championship" teams are filled out with guys who are only there because they are cheap and fit under their league's particular cap. If all teams in a particular sport in all leagues in all countries could openly compete for players without cap considerations, then even though the best players would still probably sign with US teams, it would be more fair to consider that team to be the best in the world. Otherwise, doing it based on national all-star teams (like the olympics) would work too. But the champion a professional league that operates essentially in a vacuum with it's own rules and own CBA just doesn't qualify to call itself a "world champion" IMO.

hjwii Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I say we let the U.S.' best football team take on Europe's best football team (who was it last year, Chelsea? Manchester United?) and whoever wins can be labeled "World Champions". Although I gotta say, I don;t think Europe's football players will hold up too well against the American football players...

GottaDeal Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Don't care for the bright colors of the SB logo. They should have ditched the logo and just had "SUPER BOWL CHAMPION" text underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a boxer gets the belt with the manhole cover-sized buckle, does that mean nobody on Earth could possibly beat him in the ring? Not really, but he's still the "world champion." I agree with the poster you quoted but "world champion" is a little goofy; as an example, let's take soccer. If a team in a specific league claims to be world champions, that's pretty ridiculous because that sport is played elsewhere on a fairly equal level. American football is not played anywhere else on the same level as the NFL so IMO it's fair to consider the Super Bowl winner as a world champion. At the same time, it does ring a little hollow if nobody else really does whatever you're talking about. You know, like if I proclaimed myself the world champion mower of my lawn.

MEANS Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 my whole issue is not with their being a team or league that is better, but you are the champions of the event you won. If you won the World Championship, then you are the world champion.if you win the Super Bowl you are Super Bowl Champions. https://www.andrewsterlachini.com/ or http://dribbble.com/MEANS1974 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
