ruggedowl71 said:it’s gonna be absolute chaos if God wills it in 8 days 👍—so I’m sitting here reading some local news outlet saying if the weather holds up, Balakov is looking at a crowd of 20,000 to 25,000 people for tomorrow's game. Personally? I think we should 😁get everyone away from their coffee shops and down to the stadium🤣

If God is willing, I sure hope so... But hey, let's not go overboard like they did back in San Francisco with that smoke situation🤣... We gotta be smart about this. Seattle is trailing us by a few days, and we can't let the Blue Army outdo us when it comes to showing up and making noise🤣
As for tomorrow's matchup, I'm not even gonna touch it—I've never been one for playing the numbers game🤣

Exactly.🤣

Visually speaking, my favorite sign was one of those independent ones. No specific group attached.☕

I don't see why they need new ones anyway. There are already too many of them.🤷

Kimberly Robinson17 said:Exactly.🤣

Visually speaking, my favorite sign was actually one of the miscellaneous ones.☕

I don't see the point of adding new ones anyway; there are already way too many of them.🤷

🙂

I suppose there isn't much more to say about this—it’s just how things stand. I guess we all saw it coming, maybe. It’s a complicated situation, really—certainly more than most people want to admit—but the facts remain what they are. There aren't many ways around it. [User Name] says:
...wrong.☕
Anyway—this flag is a pretty heavy flex, I guess. That place isn't exactly up north—honestly, I think Kunjak is much nicer, maybe even 3,000 times better.🙂

😎 🤣

Jerry Gray5 said:🙂

Exactly. When I look at those empty hooligan crews up north, it feels weird seeing them without any banners of their own..☕

There is zero chance anyone would just hand over a banner to those groups. Not the Boy Scouts, not the Russians, not the Poles... nobody.😉

So... should they actually go through with flying the flag or what? 🙂

cosmiclynx7 said:So, should they go ahead with the flag or not? 🙂

I mean, what is there even to ask a forum about this? It’s probably just some old guys in the neighborhood bickering over nothing—as if they actually have any say in whether they get permission to hang it up or not.

cosmiclynx7 said:So, should they make the flag or not? 🙂

Good grief, is this really the place where decisions about making the flag get made? 🙂

EDIT: swifteagle3 beat me to it

James Barrett73 said:For crying out loud—is this really the place where they're deciding how to design the flag? 🙂

That’s exactly what I was thinking—I mean, why can't they just find someone in their own neighborhood who actually knows what they're doing?🤷

If they don't have anyone, maybe they should just head over to the Knights and get some actual input from them.

Keith Brown80 said:Exactly what they said. Why complain about not having an expert in the neighborhood when you can just find one...🤷

If you don't have one handy, just head over to the Knights and let them give you their take.

looks like we're dealing with some pretty heavy math here 😁 🙂

cosmiclynx7 said:Can anyone give me their two cents on this?
I didn't work on this myself—it was done by some kids from the neighborhood. Personally, I'm not feeling it; those old school varsity emblems were never really my thing...

I didn't actually work on this myself—it was a group of local kids from the neighborhood who put it together. To be honest, it doesn't really do much for me; I never had much of a soft spot for those old MCML seeds anyway.

That's a pretty sharp tricolor you've got there, man.

You’re asking for advice on what kind of response you got, and now you’re wondering if they should actually go through with it? Look, if you want to debate whether or not to pull some stunt, you should be taking that to the Knights, not posting it here... next thing you know, someone's gonna be asking how to sneak pyrotechnics into the stands at the stadium...🙂Good grief, what has this forum even become lately...🤦
Come on, people, let's get some actual substance going! Let's hear about some crazy stories, some legendary fails, or just something interesting—just please, stop dragging us back into these mindless, repetitive threads! 🙂

That beer flag features a Greek hoplite helmet and represents the Sharp shooters, whereas the one up north is Roman style from MCMXCI. They have absolutely nothing to do with each other...

Wait, I'm a little lost here—what on earth does any of this have to do with the Black Knights? 😁

Nicole Bennett88 said:I mean, what does a room have to do with the Black Knights? 😁

...and what kind of connection does a horse have to being noble?🤷

velvettrucker20 said:That beer flag features a Greek hoplite helmet—clearly a symbol for the sharpshooters—while the one up north is Roman with MCML on it. They have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

Look, Miami was founded during the era of Diocletian, so the Roman connection makes sense, but there's no real link to the Greeks.
That was my first thought when I saw the image. It’s not a bad picture, but they drew a Greek helmet, and you can tell immediately it doesn't match the one on the flag.

Honestly, people are just so clueless sometimes. Like, did you know Miami was actually founded by the Greeks? They called it asphaltos back then, I think.

I suspect the first banner to feature Roman numerals was actually that one from the neighborhood that fell down. After that, I believe the Black Knights were the first to use them—using "MCML" for that parade in Miami, on flags, and so on...
Did any other hardcore groups in our scene use Roman numerals before then?

cosmiclynx7 said:Can anyone give me their take on this?
I didn't make this; some kids from the neighborhood did. Personally, it’s nothing special. I never had much of an affinity for those old-school MCML seeds anyway.

A total disaster.
It’s not original, it doesn't look good, and it isn't even functional.

By the way, go check out the Funcut thread to see what they’ve got written on their banners.

But hey, if you all enjoy celebrating while mocking our neighbors—who are famous for having entire units made up of romantic couples—then by all means, enjoy yourselves.
