IIRC, those are Cokes.

Found this one interesting, but the timing's off:

But for 2014, this one definitely works:

AP_World_Series_Giants2_bc_141029_16x9_992.jpg


(Esp with the Royals jacket in the background. Can't mix up the years that way. Hard enough as it is, doncha know.)
This is a good one. Captures the celebration, and even if Posey and Bum are cropped, there is no question what year it is from.

Would we want to add this to the banner, or replace one of the existing images? The Timmeh crowd-surfing pic is sooo iconic, but does it work on this piece?

We could apply the images differently (with the backgrounds en sech), just that if we're going to do it for one we should probably do it for all of them or else it'll look funny.

Would it be cool if I erased the background? I erased the background on the other pics. Unless you guys want backgrounds, I could still work that into the design.[/QUOTE]

Erasing the background is fine. You're right - just want the important part. I was only sorta kidding about the Royals thing.

That's a good pic tho, I'll cut out the Giants players and add that to the banner, see how it looks.

DOOBS, would you recommend adding this image, or replacing it with one of the existing? I don't want it to be too busy...

The reason the other one is on there (Buster & Brian) is because it covers the 2010WS, right? I really like the Timmy pic, but you're right- I had to give it a couple of looks before I realized the mics weren't palm trees. :L
I like the look of the images cut out independent of the individual backgrounds to keep it a little less busy, but that's just my :2cents:

Agreed. So iconic, but it's a little crowded.

For 2010, dare I suggest:

Edgar-Renteria-Game-Winning-Homer-in-2010-World-Series.jpg


or perhaps:

buster-posey-and-brian-wilson.jpg


IMHO, it cannot be overstated how important Renteria's home run was. It had been 56 years, never in SF, and that was the moment.

If you want the Lincecum photo, perhaps crop this:

tim-lincecums-cooperative-hair-flows-properly-for-memorable-world-series-picture.jpg

We could stay consistent and have Posey/Romo for '12, but that Scoots pic, even though it isn't even from the World Series, is THE image of that '12 run.

Or crop Timmeh out completely? Get rid of the crowd and cameras?

As for Rent... Yes he was important, but that image is not iconic. The banner should be shots that we all know, at the split second we look at it, what it is. I don't think the Rent pic meets that standard.

Seems off balance. I don't know...

Just a thought... Do we NEED the banner book-ended by the "SF"s? Maybe we only need 1?

Also, doesn't Hammer want all banners to have "SportsHoopla" somewhere in them?
Good idea, maybe just 1 SF logo is all we need, that way we have room for the SportsHoopla logo on there.

Can you try with Timmeh cropped? I have no idea if it will work, but I think it may be worth seeing it...

There are two pics from 2010 - one is enough IMHO.
Just a suggestion, IMHO, left to right:

SF logo
Mays catch
Bonds 756
trophy 2010
Timmy pointing
trophy 2012
Scoots
trophy 2014
Bum-Posey
SF logo

I agree on dumping Posey/Wilson IF the Timmeh image works.

I kinda like having the 3 trophies together though. Just my opinion...

Do we want to reference the 5 NY trophies at all?
