[edit] Distorted Angels logo

Anyone know why the angels logo is distorted looking? And/or how to fix it? Was there a change made to the template? -ÅfÇ++ 29 June 2005 07:11 (UTC)

[edit] CA logo revisited, current logo

There is nothing showing the CA logo or LA logo which originally appeared on the hat for the 1961 season, but we have every other logo of the team detailed in the article. The current "A" is in the infobox at the top, but not discussed or shown in the body of the article. The Disney logo and previous "A" are also shown. But I'd really like to have the CA logo which actually had two incarnations, when the team name was originally switched from "Los Angeles Angels" to "California Angels" upon the move to Anaheim, and the mid-90s CA logo which lasted about 3 seasons (my favorite the team has ever had, which is why it caught my attention). Why not document all logos for the franchise, instead of just picking and choosing seemingly at random? Bsharkey (talk) 17:56, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Angels have moved to 830am for the 2008 season no longer on 710 ESPN

The Angels have made the switch to 830am and are no longer on 710 ESPN. I am not sure why someone keeps changing it back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.166.184.106 (talk) 23:52, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

The Angels were not always on 710 they were on 570 KLAC before they moved to 710. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.175.123.251 (talk) 03:25, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Section Titles

Why are the titles of each section so fanciful? It doesn't seem to be in line with what other wikipedia articles do. I guess you could say they are creative, but I personally found them a little distracting/random when reading the article.

Ocedits (talk) 06:31, 17 April 2008 (UTC):I actually like these titles. I think it adheres to the be bold mantra of Wikipedia and nothing terribly violates NPOV.

I like them as well. Besides, they're in line with other baseball articles, notably Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago White Sox. SixFourThree (talk) 16:54, 17 April 2008 (UTC)SixFourThree

[edit] Rivals again

For crissakes, the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees are not the traditional rivals with the Angels! The only real rivals are against the Seattle Mariners, Oakland A's. The Dodgers can be included because of the proximity and dividing of familial loyalties, and the Red Sox can be put in due to the matchups in the playoffs. New York Yankees, while a great fan draw, is not a main rivalry for the Angels....only twice have they met in the playoffs and moreover it isn't a feud that has great implications. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.28.223.50 (talk) 10:44, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

––––Not sure I would include the Sox myself...it's more of a friendly rivalry then anything. The Halos and the Sox have, for the most part, a good relationship. Dodgers are the #1 rival, due to proximity(and being the "little brother" so to speak). Yanks are a rival. Ask almost any Angels fan the teams they hate the most and it will be LA and NYY. Oakland and Seattle are division rivals with longer histories against the Angels, but the Yanks and Dodgers still draw the most excitment.71.105.4.65 (talk) 09:18, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

You cannot make the Yankees are rival due to current trends. Historically, there is no trend to state that a hatred exists. Most Angels fans will say they hate Boston more, considering the Red Sox have knocked out the Angels out of the Playoffs in 2007, 2004, and 1986, not mention the wild card races. Hardly ever has their been a game of significant impact with the Yankees that has determines either team's futures. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.28.217.149 (talk) 11:25, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The team renamed: Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim

This section is getting much better. I'm editing it somewhat to make it more NPOV ("In spite of the legal victory by the team" implies that the Angels were somehow stymied in their goal to re-brand, when the reality is that they never announced an intention to use "Los Angeles" on their uniforms. I'm also adding the section about fan response back in - seems worthwhile to include a little bit of the fallout from the case.

The opening section seems to give this case far too much weight - is it really worth two whole paragraphs in the introduction, especially since this is covered in detail below? SixFourThree (talk) 16:03, 14 April 2008 (UTC)SixFourThree

Anyone want to point out that in Spanish, the name would simply be Los Angeles de Anaheim?(—Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.27.189.42 (talk) 11:51, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Is that really germane? And please sign your posts. SixFourThree (talk) 21:12, 5 May 2008 (UTC)SixFourThree
