My senior year in high school I attended a football camp there.
Heh… that was one laid back campus.

The Kinder, Gentler Version
The story behind the fighting artichokes is really good, though. It was a student protest. The school made the mistake of cutting academic programs while simultaneously expanding the athletics program, while also hosting a student naming poll to name the athletics teams. A student body that was presently miffed about academics cuts, fired back naming the team the Fighting Artichokes.
That might be an urban legend. But that's the way I understand it.

Ugh, speaking of, we lost both Garland and Bunting. Will not be such a Merry Christmas this year.
To me, Dylan Guenther is an early Christmas gift.

Only if his nickname is "Holly" or "Mistletoe."

Those are the Limp Bizkit of jerseys. The 90's were a dumpster fire of bad ideas.
Here's what the Nordiques were to wear had they not moved to Colorado.

Minor league baseball struck gold with temporary rebrands. Teams tip their hats to local culture and make a killing moving merchandise. I went to a West Michigan Whitecaps game for their one day appearance as the Beer City Bung Hammers. They hooked me in and I left with a hat and t-shirt.

Independent league team the KC T-Bones, who already had a great name with ties to KCs historic beef industry, have partnered with the Negro League Museum and are now known as the KC Monarchs. Jackie Robinson played for the Monarchs, but you probably knew that.

As did Buck O'Neil.Independent league team the KC T-Bones, who already had a great name with ties to KCs historic beef industry, have partnered with the Negro League Museum and are now known as the KC Monarchs. Jackie Robinson played for the Monarchs, but you probably knew that.
^Just brainstorming her,e, that would make for an interesting scene in a historical fiction series, a la "the man in the high castle"...what if baseball had remained segregated into the 1980s, after the dawn of cable tv, and been covered by a network like BET?

The Pirates never would have won the 1979 World Series.

Let it burn
That's right around when I became a Pirates fan. There was a cable station with Pirates games on aired here in the mid to late 70s. The intro had players pretending to be in a band playing the intro song "You're in for a thrill, Pirates Base-Balllll yeah!" Willie Stargell, Dave Parker, Omar Moreno, Kent Tekulve, John Candalaria, Garner, Foli, Madlock....ah the memories when baseball was still fun to watch.

Yotes finally updated the website logo to Kachina. Next up, Favicon and the Gretzky/Moyes/Ellman head is bye bye!

Now we need to take down the Jets names in the building and cut ties with that franchise. They got their team back.

Correct. I probably wouldn't have had the ceremonies/banners for all the 'Peg greats but at the time it seemed quite unlikely they would get another team.
That said, I'll trade their history for a 1st round pick as I've said for years. Offer's on the table guys up north your move

I look at it this way, if it happened when the team was in Winnipeg, it's Winnipeg's history, it belongs to those fans. If it happened here in AZ, or in Atlanta, same.
