My money is on an old picture.
I thought about that, and I'm really hoping that's not the case. Endzones were maroon for last year's Spring Game.....
Weird, there's an old picture on my money.AGS10TAK said:

Would love to see maroon end zones permanently
Looks so much better
Looks so much better
Outdoor board guys could tell you exactly when the pic was taken based on clouds and shadows.
To the most casual of Aggie observers it should be clear that that is an OLD image not a 2019 one...unless we are digging up the old third deck scoreboards too (seriously doubt that)

I'm missing something. Why would we want the old signs up?

Cause the new one looked like crap.
A) Critical thinking skills people. It's obviously an old picture.
B) It's embarrassing how many of you see stuff like this and draw conclusions like the OP. Same with obvious satirical material (Jimbo going by James, the 7 foot, 500 pound TE, etc.). Bunch of rubes!
C) The new signage looks infinitely better than the old one, they just need to complete the gun metal gray paneling to cover up the exposed concrete and find a way to make the lettering stand out a bit more during the day.
D) BTHOEveryone in 2019!
E) TGIF

The new signage shouldn't need improvement if infinitely better. Or your argumentation might simply be infinitely poor.
The two issues are contrast (large white letters on maroon v letters that mix maroon and white on gray) and color matching of the background. Neither was well considered and the excuse is to have it lit so it's more visible when it's darker.
I think the new design is a compromise in order to match a vision that never was going to work well and the school has a NASTY habit of taking criticism poorly and many Aggies defend the school when appropriately criticised.
It's okay to say "it's not that bad." It's not okay to claim "it's infinitely better." The latter seeks to dehumanize the opposing argument largely just to win the argument. If you cannot agree it's a compromise design you possibly aren't qualified to comment. That the school defends it is because they prefer the intent of the design which is to unify with bare concrete.
The real issue is the lack of the second deck scrap and rebuild causes all of the exposed concrete to look patchy so they were trying to unify the look by covering that section with a color that matched the new concrete. They're hiding a bad decision.

Greg, your post is very good.

It's an opinion. Nothing more, nothing less...and certainly not some ridiculous attempt to "dehumanize an opposing argument" (FYI, you can't dehumanize an argument as an argument isn't human, but I digress).
Does the sign need to be modified a bit to provide more constrast during the day? Yes, I said as much in my first post. However, the idea that what was up there before (font that didn't match the rest of the branding, the HORRIBLE fading maroon/pink background with the dainty little stars all over it) was better looking than what's there now is one that I wholeheartedly disagree with. Hell, many of us were griping about that background long before new Kyle was even announced, much less built.
I don't think greg understands what dehumanization means.

That's a picture from after they painted the field for the 2018 spring game.

Means you'll win the argument rather than caring about the discussion. Similar to using ridicule in a similar way.
I could handle the new gay sign if they'd just put TEXAS AGGIES in the endzones.
But they won't.

It's on the next level up and it still looks the same as last year.
There was a strong and confident consensus among Ags who parked their conveyances at the Astin Terminal for the lsu game that the crap sign would be replaced during the summer.FriscoKid said:rbcs_2 said:

So, cover up the grey concrete with grey lettering. Fantastic idea.

I had to think about this one for a minute before deciphering your meaning that you hang out with rich guys who own aeroplanes and the lettering on the sign is for some reason important to them after attending one game. Did I get that right?Quote:

I could see it being even more important to people who have donated a lot of money for Kyle's renovations. Why donate money to make something look worse?
I know reading and basic logic are difficult for you as evidenced by your pathetic posting history so I'll help you a bit....I'll even type extra slow.Lateralus Ag said:Yelnick McWawa said:

Go re-read item C. Read it slow, it's okay. Then pull your head from your rectum and understand that those letters and words convey the opinion that the grey paneling needs to be continued to cover the exposed concrete. No one is discussing making the lettering grey, dummy.
You are absolutely insufferable.

Living rent free in your head: priceless.
And you still didn't respond to my point.
And you literally suggested "completing" the letters in grey.

You really, truly are a special kind of stupid. Tripled down on it in the same thread.
