Has anybody noticed during the Aussie Open that the “MELBOURNE” logo looks like the old 1970’s Madison Square Garden insignia?

i have been thinking that since teh first time i saw it last week … was looking for an old MSG pic, but couldn;t find one.

Okay, I’ve heard of these antz, and I’ve learned about the buzz and the bees.

But can someone explain what Mad Antz are and what connection they have to Indiana?

Being from Fort Wayne, it’s pretty inside. It’s a shout out to “Mad” Anthony Wayne, for whom the Fort, and therfore the city is named. All in all I think it makes for a nice, unique nickname

I find it interesting that 201 is a NJ area code…..

Little Area Code history…Area codes were assigned based on the length of time a rotary dial phone took to dial the area code. Densely populated areas like New York City, Philadelphia and Los Angeles had huge call volume and were assigned numbers (212, 215, 213) that could be quickly dialed from a rotary dial phone. On a rotary dial phone low digits (1, 2, 3, 4) could dial quickly as the time the rotary dial took to return to the home position was minimal. High digit numbers (7, 8, 9, 0) on rotary dial phones took much longer to return to the home position and were usually used in less densely populated areas like Texas (915), Tennessee (901), San Bernardino (909). This system became unnecessary when touch-tone phones arrived, as the tone allowed instant entry of digits.

What about 718 in NY? its a pretty big one, even back then I would assume

718 is fairly new…212 used to cover ALL 5 boros of new york city…it was only created in 1984 (after the divestiture i believe)…here

definitely intro’ed AFTER touchtone phones tho

stupid question

does rbk ONLY put their name on the NHL sweaters? ccm & “e” (edge? easton?) breezers in this pic…

i thought rbk had the whole deal…or do they “own” ccm too?

thanks

Reebok owns the Unis/Sweaters. All other equipment (helmet, gloves, stick, pants, skates, goalie pads, etc) is the choice of the individual player.

The “E” is for Easton. Reebok only put their name on stuff they make, although if Im not mistaken RBK owns CCM, because on one of my jerseys, the tag has the RBK logo and the CCm logo…
