1. don't be foolish - copyright that puppy RIGHT NOW!
2. if you get one of those skyscrapers to look like a profile of the sears tower (the tapered angles), you're set.
3. i like it just as it is, but if you're gonna diddle with it, i vote for Asymmetrical.
wonder why no one has said anything about the slogan "the city with the broad shoulders." that's a joke just waiting to be plumbed . . . |
I already told Michael Alter to go ahead if he likes it.

They CAN'T have a name connected with the Bulls, because the Bulls brass would have collective aneurysms, and while that might be a good thing, it'll screw both the NBA and WNBA team over. Remember, they're NOT related to the Bulls!!!
Hmmm. They're playing at UIC, right? Maybe they could yoink the name Flames off them. Yes, I know about the Calgary Flames. Or maybe Inferno. Can you imagine *that* logo?

"Flames"
Aren't teams limited to just three colors?

Yeah I just remembered that. Dont those franchises change citys every few years or so? Maybe we could take it from them since they might only be around for a few more years.

Hey! I just went through Chicago coming home. How about the Chicago Blight. Cause it wasn't pretty.
Seriously, It'll have something to do with weather. It'll be a politically correct nickname.

Chicago Billikens
Yeah, that's pretty much par with Blues, I just think the Billiken needs a medium to get into mainstream-mascot-dom.

heeyyyyyyy. leave my toddlin' town alone!
kindling, pilight?
this is bringing back some old chi-town cheers.
it's in my locker . . . HEY! . . . that gin and vodka . . . HEY!
it's on the roof . . . HEY! . . . one hunded proof . . . HEY!
it's on my mind . . . HEY! . . . whiskey and wine . . . HEY!
it's in the bed . . . HEY! . . . johnny-walker-red . . . HEY!
it's on the flo' . . . HEY! . . . that bad old crow . . . HEY!
it's on the . . .
well - ahem - it was another time, another place. i don't think it mattered that no team or sport was mentioned. it was all about the rhyme and rhythm. but sometimes a team was mentioned, just for the hell of it.
(to be sung)
my team, my team, my terrible team
i said what kind of team
wolverines! mighty-mighty-mighty-mighty wolverines . . .
(sigh.)

| Sorry sebibb. It's just that we rode through a very destitute neighborhood. It's a shame the downtown looks good while the outlying areas look so depressing. I really feel for the people who live there on the south side...

This winter, go a little farther south to Naperville and see a Blaze game. That town is Niiice!

that would be my south side. it's shameful, but what big city isn't like that? the pattern has been repeated all over the country.
but also, the south side is a pretty large swath. it's not all blighted.
