Silent Wind of Doom Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I've always been intensely interested and had a great love and appreciation for the different cultures in sports, which, of course, includes the logos and uniforms, leading me to this website.One of the things I really loved, which was used for one year and then seems to have completely disappeared from memory and the internet is NCAA Football 2011's ad campaign featuring the slogan "Where I Come From". In the commercial, different people described things where they came from, giving little snippets about their sporting culture. At the moment, I've only found videos of the commercials surviving on a french video site:General Version: http://www.jeuxvideo...-1-00028354.htmSCC Version: http://www.jeuxvideo...-2-00028355.htmBig 12 Version: (I finally just found the third one, although the quality is terrible.)I've often thought of doing the same for other sports. In fact, I once started making signature images of these for the MLB, but I'm not that good dealing with graphics that detailed. However, I have thought of one for almost every MLB team. Here's my list. Do you have any for the ones I've missed. What's your list? I'd like to expand this into other sports as well, but thus far this is what I've got.Yankees: Where I come from, the ghosts of legends past appear nightly.Red Sox: Where I come from, the monster lurks and the socks bleed.Orioles: Where I come from, the Yard is full of country boys.Blue Jays: Where I come from, the championship flag flies north of the border.Rays: (Still haven't thought of a good one, yet.)White Sox: Where I come from, good guys wear black.Indians: Where I come from, the tribe speaks.Tigers: Where I come from, we hear them roar.Royals: Where I come from, we like to put on the waterworks.Twins: Where I come from, the best things come in twos.Angels: Where I come from, there are always angels in the outfield.Athletics: Where I come from, the alphabet starts with A.Rangers: Where I come from, we don't need air conditioning.Mariners: Where I come from, long live the King.Astros: (Still haven't thought of a good one, yet.)Mets: Where I come from, we always believe.(Alternate: Where I come from, the kings play in Queens.)Braves: Where I come from, we chop 'em down.Nationals: Where I come from, Nats swarm in the nation's capitol.Phillies: Where I come from, a cracked bell rings sweeter.Marlins: Where I come from, the fish hook you.Cubs: Where I come from, patience is a virtue.Reds: Where I come from, the machine keeps on rolling.Pirates: Where I come from, we are family.Cardinals: Where I come from, everyone's favorite color is red.Brewers: Where I come from, the Crew is always on tap.Dodgers: Where I come from, we always think blue.(Alternate: Where I come from, )Giants: Where I come from, .(Alternate, in tandem with Dodgers alternate: Where I come from, we beat L.A.)Padres: Where I come from, we are always faithful.Rockies: Where I come from, we hit the ball a mile high.Diamondbacks: Where I come from, be wary in the snake pit.

Silent Wind of Doom Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Based on the Marlins attendance, they ain't hooking anybody...Yeah. I know. Of course, these are meant to be positive, save for the self-depricating Cubbies one, although I couldn't think of a good one involving ivy. Negative ones are fun, though.Although some are a bit off the template, I like yours, DaytonBlue, especially the Packers and Warriors ones.Mets-Waterboarding our fans on a nightly basis.XD At least the Yankees fans can't make fun of you until at least next year (although they'll likely start yelling "scoreboard" if pushed too much).I added explanitory links for all of them, and cleaned up the way it looks. I'd been in a rush out the door so I just copied and pasted the table I had in a Word Doc. I'll prolly try my hand at the other sports later, although I'm really struggling to find good ones for the Rays and Astros that aren't negative or too cheesy.
