OT: All-Purpose Expos Return Topic (Part II)

[CAR3YPR1CE]

The company work for is located in Peel basin. A statement was recently released concerning the possible sale of the land by the port, once all leases are complete. In 4 years.

you know you're close to rock bottom when...lol

I still remember my favourite scalper who'd do 2 for 8$ for all but the premium al east interleague matchups. Unfortunately , the reason I loved going to games was the reason they left.

I'm very conflicted looking at this. On one hand it's a clear marketing ploy and the Nationals are the ones who took in the Expos. On the other hand, it's such a sweet looking jersey and makes me want the Expos to come back now.

Retractable roof is a no go. It doubles the cost of the stadium. And the only weather issues Montreal has are April and October. If you position an open stadium in the sun, the sun will do half the job. And before you object, I'm an architect with 30 years experience. A retractable roof is just dumb.

Open baseball stadiums are part of the overall experience and I hope this will be the solution. Wonder if potential owners will consider designs with possibility of adding at a later time some sort of cover be it partial or retractable if deemed more appropriate in the future. I guess that would restrict design possibilities and may increase costs.

Bronfman hinted he wants to have it multipurpose year round but still preferring an Open solution based on surveys with fans.

NY and Montreal have similar weather in the summer and fall. And they've jumped lock, stock and barrel into an open air stadium at a high cost.

Why reinvent the wheel.

Ate at the same restaurant?

Gorgeous uniforms to this day. Wrong f***ing city wearing it!

They're just clothes in the hands of these posers.

Not cheering for clothes.

Jerry Seinfeld, you were so right.

 

[LeHab]

Jerry Seinfeld, you were so right.

Mets had a "Seinfeld night" yesterday. Jerry got to throw the first pitch. Might be good enough to make that lineup.

 

[Tabarouette]

I don't care what anyone says this is a cool move from the nationals and of course it's marketing who cares. The jays games here are marketing, everything Bronfman does publicly is marketing, get over it it's pro sports, it's all marketing

Washington didn't STEAL our team they were just the first ones in line

just enjoy things for once

 

[Runner77]

If you like Expos uniforms in Washington, enjoy. No one is telling everyone that they all need to feel the same.

I enjoy the hope, it's a one time deal to honor the past until they come back like man, I really don't see anything negative about it

Im honestly disgusted they are doing that

i hate when franchises move they keep the other teams prestige, makes absolutely no sense to me

they are not the old expos, just like the coyotes arent the old jets, and the new jets arent the old thrashers

what happens if the devil rays actually move to montreal? washington will have to put a dead stop to this "hommage" or whatever the f*** theyre doing to upset montreal fans

The day Expos are back they stop doing it because it doesn't make sense to do it anymore. It's not the first team to do that move... The way I see it, this marketing move tells me the Expos are coming back sooner rather than later, because they're hot right now it's in the air and everyone knows it.

and like what does prestige even mean? that's not ok but it's ok for teams to keep hammering the past eventho the only thing connecting the past from the present is usually the logo? seems arbitrary

say expos come back, why do they keep the prestige of the old expos?

 

[Skip Bayless]

Gorgeous uniform. Scherzer is one of my favorite players in today's game, so this is a dream. I hope this is our home jersey when they come back.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Always a treat to see that uniform, especially when I'm stuck watching an atrocious Jays game. Takes me back to when baseball was fun.

 

[peate]

Weird flashbacks looking at replays of today's Nationals' game.

 

[Skip Bayless]

FP was my scapegoat back then

 

[DowntownBooster]

The Expos had one of the best looking uniforms in all of MLB and in particular the version worn through to the end of the 1991 season. I was a little disappointed when they made the switch in 1992 to the style used for their remaining years in Montreal as the colors were no longer as vibrant as they were before the change. Anyway, we have our Jets back in Winnipeg and I'm hoping that you folks in Montreal will have your Expos back soon.

 

[Phil Parent]

I hope all of these make it in MLB The Show.

 

[Le Tricolore]

I hope all of these make it in MLB The Show.

Expos jerseys have been in The Show before. I think they're even in'19, but I'd never take the Nationals to actually check. What the game needs is the option to relocate or expansion. It's in all other games now (Not sure if you can expand in Madden, actually)
