Thought it would be a great way to use the NFT market for digitalizing the classic hockey cards and also use them in that fully-fledged game, but then I saw that the mystery boxes will be released in a quantity of 20,000 at a fixed price of 20BUSD. I really thought I read it wrong the first time but yeah, 20 billion USD, so I guess 1 million USD per mystery box.

I know the NFT market is insane right now but come on

I just used an online converter, where 20 BUSD became roughly 20 USD. I think refers to some kind of currency, and not billions of dollars.

Yeah I guess it was bad research from my part, but those numbers wouldn't have surprised me considering the previous NFT amounts I have seen could be a rather good way to digitalize the hockey cards market then!

I will ask here...

Who is responsible, and why did they do it? Vladivostok's new logo? It's terrible and looks cheap. It also looks more like a typical 'Wild West' Sheriff badge than the anchor or anything naval related.

At a glance, it reminds me of the Sheriff Tiraspol FC logo

Yeah, the whole remake was horrible. The whole esthetics around the team was actually pretty nice before.

We could write a book about Admiral´s logo. I do not know who made the decision this summer. Likely someone from Primorski Krai government or Alexei An (new Admiral general manager)

Below is what I found on internet. As you know, Mikhail Antipin (Quberten Design Studio) made the original logo for Admiral back in 2013. He proposed an alternative logo as well. It is the current logo. But if I know, Quberten did do nothing this summer for Admiral.

Anchor was the original Admiral logo, just in blue.

Later they chose this (nothing to do with Quberten)

The colour scheme is alright, although the blue, again, fits the naval theme they go with, but keep the old logo!

 

[SoundAndFury]

It's like they went "you know what, let's be more bland and Soviet" On a more serious note, they probably wanted to rebrand because you know, such new era, different management, new debts and all that but as vorky mentions, had this in the pocket already from before and went with this cheap option.

I agree. The old colours and logo were so nice. The current one is Dollar Tree garbage.

This is a very vague question with possibly no answer but...

Do we have any idea just how much money Gazprom pays each year to fund their sports interests and sponsorships? It would be interesting to see.

I did find some old information on some Spartak fan forum (this was like 2016 or something) stating they spend $40m just on SKA alone.

I also found an article in which Roman Rotenberg said he is the joint owner of Kunlun
