OT: All-Purpose Expos Return Speculation Topic

[Habaneros]

I like to think that they're somehow related. It's like Youppi! --> Gritty. Mr. Met --> Souki.

Maybe they make Youppi have a twin?? Louppi?

 

[Runner77]

What is goona happen to Youppi when Expos return?

Habs get a new mascot?

I'd just build a story where Youppi returns to the Expos and is replaced at the BC by a long lost cousin who looks like him.

What's his name, Olé?

Maybe it'll be Broue Lay. Beer and chips.

The BC version could be more rugged so as to tap into into the nastier mascot trend.

Its funny because 9/10ths of the people talking about taxes probably live in moms basement or in an appartement lol

Shouldn't the stadium be facing the other way, so as to get a view of the water and the downtown skyline?

Good catch. I hope the stadium will be flipped 180° compared to this. or maybe more like, 160° to 145°

Thanks. Was keeping my head up, on that one.

Not certain but doesn’t it have to do with the suns positioning ? I could be wrong

Could have something to do with prevailing winds as well.

However, as previous poster suggested, it could be tweaked. If not a full 180, then something that redirects it somewhat to take advantage of the view.

Otherwise, what's the point? Best view will be behind it.

Can they use this name? Is it property of the Nats franchise now? Curious....

I would hope it is, the Expos, but....

Trademarks for Montreal Expos logo design & name are currently owned by MLB I think:

That's a good guess for sure

I believe you are right since MLB is still selling Expos merch on their platforms.

Looking at the TM, interesting that one of past owners became Florida Marlins with an address in Montreal:

OLD OWNER
FLORIDA MARLINS, L.P.
a Delaware limited partnership
OLYMPIC STADIUM,
4549 PIERRE DE COUBERTIN,
MONTREAL,
QUEBEC H1V 3N7

Loria sold Expos to MLB's office before purchasing Marlins. Perhaps he retained Expos TM rights for a while before selling to MLB. History of TM is not clear on when ownership changed.

I'm guessing Loria had to transfer the rights to MLB as a condition of sale for operating the Marlins.

For our purposes, the word "Expos" will rise again and that's the best news.

I never heard of this guy before so I googled him.

Apparently, the kids were scared of Souki, and one father actually attacked him

Maybe the Habs could recycle Badaboum as well

Drafting and development will be crucial in order to remain competitive in that division. Vladdy Jr is baseball's best prospect.

The orientation definitely depends on the sun for the batters in the later innings. It's not just on a whim. Otherwise, you'd be giving an unfair advantage to the pitchers or the batters.

It's not unfair since neither team has an advantage. It's similar to how hitters have an advantage due to altitude when playing in Colorado, or how some stadiums are smaller then others. So long as both teams have the same conditions it's fair.

Almost every province in the country, has spent $$$ on things way worse...that being said, it should be private funds, but the city/province gets some benefit out of having a another pro sports team, so there will have to be some concessions made by all levels of gov't to help in some way.

f*** that noise. Not a f***ing penny. And I'll let her know.

 

[cajmonkey]

Just think..Habs could have an outdoor game in Mtl at the baseball stadium..lololol
Does that change your mind???

Not one bit.
