On every synthetic turf field I've ever designed, the midfield logo and yard lines are sown into the turf. As I also posted, today the yard lines are manufactured as part of the turf. The only thing we paint on synthetic turf are temporary lines. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, Irsay is a tool of an owner. Oh 💯 agree. Irsay probably does too. But he’s the one to pay off and he won’t make it cheap for the reasons you’ve identified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, on synthetic turf, the logo is sewn into to the turf material, so there really isn't anything you can do with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of ways Irsay can/will tell those people to go pound sand will be interesting. The Irsays are very… interesting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideways Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Go back 25-30 years and you will find marching bands at BOA that have put a tarp down to cover the colts logo. I think Plymouth Canton was one of the first to do so in the early 90s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Plymouth Canton was one of the first to do so in the early 90s. WGI went for years on wooden brown basketball floor. Then they changed to all white floor tarp pallet for a number of years. Now I believe all groups get a blank black tarp pallet which they usually cover with their own tarp. If all d.c.i. corps voted for a neutral round dot tarp on the field, they could do that. However, I guess they would never get a majority vote in favor of the dot color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valjean Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I kind of liked the logos back when they changed venue every year. You'd see a 5 second clip and know exactly what year. End the tyranny of LOS! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
