This is from Azdiehard (?) on the Cards Official Message Board.

He is somehow involved with the marketing.

:okay... I finally got some permission to drop some hints (like I need permission!
You must be registered for see images
) Okay on the main Az. Cardinals Page, look at the logo "The Bird is Back" and click on that. What will load will be three sets of Cardinals animations. If you click the second one (the one with the Cardinal eating the worm) What will follow is the Cardinal will then digest several things (including the helmets of the 49ers, Rams and Seahawks) I can not tell you, but there is a code in that sequence and a very quick flash of what's to come. If you pay very careful attention, you may be able to figure it out. Honestly, I had no clue what it was when I looked at it, but than as they slowed down the anim. I saw it very clearly, and it is a type of code. In fact, if you figure it out, it'sretty cool. Those marketing and graphic design guys are tricksters!!!!!! Enjoy....

I wish they had some more talent in their animations.

might as well drop midi behind them. Oh well, it's building good buzz regardless.

It almost looks like one of the last items he swallows is a donut so maybe the new stadium is going to be Dunkin Donuts Stadium.

Or maybe I'm just hungry.

I did notice the helmets for the rams and seahawks are the old logo not the new. I wonder if we're going retro with hte whole "bird is back" thing. :shrug:

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?

Think McFly, think. He's eating nuts, bolts and "dead" helmets. It's obvious that we're going for a Frankenstein look.

yeah I was going to say that all the helmets are the "old" ones... so ... but what other logo have the cards had that would be different than the current one?

Right click on the animation.

When the bird gets done eating the worm, hit "Back" and this stops it.

Continue to click "forward" to advance it 1 frame at a time.

I am thinking. I'm thinking we're the most gullable group of people on the internet. :eek:

I know this kind of breaks up the theory, but the 49ers helmet appears to be the current one, not any kind of older model. Seahawks and Rams are the older ones, though.

The 1st Animation ends with :

"A New Breed of Cardinal."


The 2nd:

"Now, That's One Tough Bird."


The 3rd:

"A New Bird is Busting Out."

What is interesting is that the bird in the cage is losing his feathers.

hmmmmmmm.

Even the 2 footballs look like they are really old.

I think the founder of Home Depot owns the Bucs. Can't imagine him sponsoring the Cardinals.

I think it's the owner of the Falcons.

Eh, same difference.

I mean, even though one's a bird and the other's a pirate, they're both like, you know, alive and move around and stuff.
