MESA! :thud:
I have been thinking about this all day.... Man I love Adub.

"Adub Helped Change it All"

"Cultures don't change themselves."

"We cried on 1/18/09 also."
I prefer "too" to "also" but other than that, love it.

I don't like "Yo, Adrian" for two reasons--I'm sure he's sick of hearing it, and it's a reference to a girl.

I know this is probably too long, but how about: "Hey 49er fans, please don't beat anybody half to death in the bathroom...or in the parking lot...or anywhere else...please... :shrug:

Agree 100%. Stay away from dumb clichés

Thanks Mr. Wilson
or
#24orever a Cardinal

This is a very clever suggestion! Time to put these two suggestions to a vote:

"YO, ADRIAN!
CONGRATS!"

or

"#24OREVER
A CARDINAL"

Whatcha think, Cards fans??

Thanks,
Madjack.

Strongly dislike the "Yo, Adrian" Rocky reference.

#24OREVER took me a while to figure out. Should be #24EVER (drop the "OR")!

Still not thrilled... everyone understands "4EVER" but "#24EVER" is a stretch. I like the idea of sending a message of thanks more than making some kind of clever reference or pun. I'd go with "THANK YOU A-DUB" or something simple like that. Just my opinion....

Jack, thank YOU for doing these great banners for all these years and for asking for our input!

I really think the Yo Adrian is an awful cliché

If we are actually celebrating the man's accomplishments, we shouldn't be using trite and worn out clichés about someone's name.

Thus, my vote is for the other option.

I like #24ever and I don't think its confusing. People will get it. If they don't, chances are the person next to them gets it and can explain it.

Agree with this, I was being tongue in cheek. Not the thread to do it in.

I agree with all of this. I understand what #24orever is meant to say, but what it actually says is: #2 FOREVER. Not the message I would send.

Note: I have a personalized license plate that says FAB4EVER which means "Fab 4 forever" but a lot of people were confused by its meaning. But I'm good with the majority.

Thank you Madjack for doing this each game.

I must respectfully disagree that folks may not get the #24orever meaning. Traditionally, once I am close to selecting the best banner suggestion I run it past several of my friends, Cards fans and even coworkers for their impressions and candid input.

In this case, not one person DIDN"T get it and actually thought it was a very clever play on words.

Regardless, all of you here on the ASFN board are awesome contributors and I'm only sorry I didn't start posting this thread years ago. The 'other' board well.....

Thanks,
MadJack.

It isn't being a Rocky hater. It would be like a banner for me with that said:

Colonel, you are an original recipe

Yeah...never heard that before...

#24EVER could be "#2 FOREVER" or even "#20 FOREVER".

Agree that it should as simple as possible, though.

Why screw around with truncating the message in a dubious attempt to make it more clever? Why not just roll with #24FOREVER?

Really looking forward to the ceremony, especially after reading his "Letter to my younger self" piece.
