This is a relatively minor thing but it is something that always irked me about the BK era. Why did he mess with perfection?
This is shite:

This is befitting of a Pantheon of Concrete and Steel:

Please fix this Lane and Verge!

They changed them for a season to honor the 100th year anniversary of Tiger Stadium, but this past season they didn't go back to the font we have been using for the past 25 years.

Sorry maybe I'm a little slow. We talking about the font of the numbers?

Yes, the new font sucks. Am I the only person who has ever noticed this?

That’s what they told everybody, but it’s really just the “geaux” font numbers.

Do you honestly think BK had anything to do with this?

If that bothers anyone, they really need to reevaluate life. It’s not that serious.

What an odd thing to even be concerned about. "Honey, can you believe they changed the yard line fonts!"

I can't imagine being so concerned as to even notice that

I thought they changed them to match the font on the jersey's. I wish they'd go back to the old BIG numbers like they had during the early Miles years. But from what I understand is it has something to do with the jersey's and how they are put together.

I have no idea what you’re talking about. You’re gonna need to be specific pointing out what the before was and what the after is that you’re so unhappy about.

I didn't notice it but now I can't unsee it. Now I'm pissed off about something very insignificant.

I honestly can't say I ever noticed it. I mean I get what they were going for with matching the geaux font to the end zone logos. I like the old numbers better but I personally don't think its that bad. Definitely not bad enough for it to bother me in the slightest

I noticed it when it happened, I may have been off on when exactly they changed the font, but I don't like the new font.

no, many people notice.

I noticed it immediately and hated it. It's the Geaux font (which I generally like) but it looks awful on the yard line numbers.

Go back to the original.
