Still MIGHTY Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 While I know it's the New York Giants and New York Jets and the MetLife HQ is in New York, the stadium itself is still in New Jersey. So while I understand using the skyline in the logo, I'm not sure if I really think it should be used for the logo. I get that it's technically it's a New York stadium, it's not in New York. I'm not trying to start up that NY/NJ argument again, I just don't think it's the right fit. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It fits perfectly. I personally consider myself a New Yorker. I have worked in New York City almost all my life, but have always resided just over the Hudson.

Still MIGHTY Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Well then I've been overruled. You guys would obviously know more than I would. I mean, I've visited NYC and Jersey more than my fair share of times (family in Jackson, NJ and New Rochelle, NY), but never done too much around the Meadowlands. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beebsho95 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Isn't that the New York Life building - the second building from the end on the right? Interesting that they would put a competitors building on their logo. I guess keeping such a prominent fixture in the skyline out would look pretty douchey on their part.

They're both on Madison Square Park, but the New York Life Building doesn't have a clock. MetLife Tower:New York Life Building:That's the gimmick - the skyline is bookended by the two famous buildings in Manhattan which bear the company's name. MetLife Tower on the right side of the skyline, MetLife Building (which natives still call the Pan Am Building) on the left.Add MetLife Stadium across the bottom for the hat trick. Very clever.

Gothamite Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Looks like in addition to the blue and green team-specific versions, there's a neutral gray version as well:Makes sense, matches the interior color scheme.

NJTank Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I like the logo a lot, makes me almost wish the Mets could have gone with this name. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersurge Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I was getting used to calling it the NEW Meadowlands. Even though it was already mentioned that they were going to sell the naming rights, a little part of me thought that they might go the whole year with the non-corporate name. What was I thinking? *headslap* I guess it was fun while it lasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
