"The Bird is Back" Animations

[bratwurst]

OK Smaller pics. I like these a lot.

2nd pic. Props to JetStream Green.

I slowed down the animation and this is the order in which he eats the things:

screw
washer
hammer
49ers helmet
sawblade
seahawks helmet
nail
football
wrench
Rams helmet
nail
sawblade
cactus
cactus
washer
football.

And the helmets and tools look to be older helmets, etc.

Perhaps a blast from the past is due?

I'll throw in my guess...the announcement will be that the stadium will be open for the 2005 season. There are 16 items that the Cardinal eats (16 games in the season). The helmets are home games agains the division foes. The footballs are home games out of the division. The construction tools are away games or the bye week. So, The first home game will be week 4 agains the Niners.

Pretty creative, huh?

Good guess!!!

 

[bratwurst]

So the other items besides helmets are basically representitive of the work being done in the away weeks then. BUt why would they be workin on the stadium if it was done and ready for the 2005 season?

I've always thought this was cool

Highly unlikely this will happen.

That's a pretty good theory, but I'm not sure it hold up. We won't have enough home games if we go by that, will we? Maybe I'm not counting right.

Uh oh. Someone tell me this is a hoax. It was posted by "Arby Rick" on the Cards official board:

Yeah that one was done by my buddy Craig who runs the Football Uniforms Past & Present site...

I am kinda glad my site seems to be getting a little bit of publicity these days...

...maybe I should update it for once...

doesnt that marry up nicely with the fact that the Cardinals are looking to play next year's preseason games out of town?

Based on the above, with no home preseason games and the first three weeks on the road -- could the stadium be done in time to host a week 4 2005 game?

 

[kerouac9]

I think I figured it out. The 9ers helmet is first since they updated their look first, followed by the Seahawks and the Rams, since the Rams were the last to update their look. So I guess that just means that the Cards are next. Also all threee of those teams just updated colors and uni's but kept the same basic logo, (except the seahawks look ridiculous) so the Cards will probably follow suit with just subtle changes.

I don't think that he's right, though. The Rams updated their look the season after they won the Super Bowl (99), right? Then I think it was a season or two later that the Seahawks changed theirs (01, maybe). I think it was a season before the change in division, because I don't think that the unis were new when they opened their new stadium, I think they were a year old.

I also like this idea....

One can only dream but wouldn't it be sweet?

I passed by the stadium today and I don't think it will be ready by 2005.

I don't think there's any chance that the Cards play preseason games out of town. The season ticket packs are based on 10 games, and the revenue created from those preseason games goes directly into ownership's pockets (players aren't on salary until Week 1, they just get some per diem, or something). I don't think that the Cards would sell any better in some high school stadium in 'Vegas than they would in AZ, especially not if Dallas plays a preseason game here (per the agreement that Bill Bidwill got to OK realignment). Unless some sucker city (San Antonio? 'Vegas?) can almost guarantee 30K+ for a game in October, I don't see it happening.

So far, El Paso and Albuquerque have been mentioned as possible sites.

 

[kerouac9]

So far, El Paso and Albuquerque have been mentioned as possible sites.

The Cardinals can guarantee 22,000 tickets and maybe more depending on the opponent, which is all profit. It comes from the season ticket packages. You can't sell loge or skybox seats at an away stadium. It's a nice idea, but the numbers don't work out.

Does anyone think that El Paso, TX is hungry for Cardinal football? They can't give away preseason tickets here. Does Albuquerque even have a stadium?

If they had a preseason game with denver or dallas in Albuquerque it would be a sellout. Of course the biggest stadium only holds 46 to 48k. They could do the same in Elpaso with dallas.

 

[Redsz]

As far as I know, the Cardinals are marketing in Elpaso and Albuquerque. I'm pretty sure we hear something about it on Thursday.
