They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

charger77 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 The Leafs do this better than anyone.I disagree, their MLG banners (Retired Number & Stanley Cup) were much better.

Orgo Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I disagree, their MLG banners (Retired Number & Stanley Cup) were much better.The "retired" numbers would be perfect without the stripe. Don't like the number font that much, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilt Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 How it should be Nets do it right also The Nets just need to retire the #2 one day. 23, 32, 25, 52, then individually 5, 3, and 2. If this Prokhorov team suceeds, KG might earn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Irrespective of how the banners themselves look, the Leafs do retired numbers worse than anyone by failing to retire the numbers. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC97 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Irrespective of how the banners themselves look, the Leafs do retired numbers worse than anyone by failing to retire the numbers.Well, they have actually retired two numbers (5 and 6), the rest are merely "honoured". I do agree with you, once that banner goes up it should be retired, end of story. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree with you, once that banner goes up it should be retired, end of story.Actually I like the fact that the Leafs honor numbers instead of retiring them. It keeps numbers in rotation so you don't end up with the mess that is the Montreal Canadiens that have very few low numbers left and the team looks like a preseason split squad team with all the high numbers (50+).

I just think that standards need to be raised for number retirement. Have the cowboys actually retired a number? Or do they just hold back 8 and 22 each season? I thought 88 would have been with those but I guess not "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Jerry gives it to the WR whom he thinks is capable of carrying on the lineage of greatness started by Pearson and carried on by Irvin. Since Irvin one (Dez Bryant) has done a better job than the other (Antonio Bryant). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWonka Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I'm pretty sure the Sabres had mismatching styles of banners for their newer ones, but then went back and redid the new ones to match. Can't find proof, though.No, the Sabres never had a different style ones. I am curious to see what they do with Hasek, I have a feeling it will be in the blue and gold, but you never know. He did leave Buffalo in a negative way with the Black goathead. so I'm leaning towards blue and gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I hate how Miami puts rafters up if their player makes the Olympic team. They have jumbled, mismatched raftersThe exclamation points on their championship banners seem hokey to me. Does any other championship banner have that?CHAMPIONS!

TheStoicPaisano Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I know this focuses on banners, but how about college/school hall-of-famers receiving framed jerseys, which are usually the current set?See Stanford and John Elway last night, for example.
