Nickname for the 2012 World Series

[drdg]

most world series have an establish nickname like
"2000 subway series" "1944 trolley series" "1985 I-70 show-me series"

for some the press or MLB makes up a nickname
like the 2009 world series MLB called it the "liberty series" the press called it the "turnpike series"

2010,2011 world series were not given nickname
what would be a good nickname for the 2012 world series

no poll, just list your picks

my would be the "orange and black series" giants home and tiger away colors
other names
"the 2012 all-star game repeat series", as the key players in the ASG were the tigers and giants
"the chinesse characters world series"/kung fu panda world series" a kung fu panda against the tigers

Halloween Series! The pumpkin orange and darkness black is obviously Halloween colors!

I absolutely agree! Orange and Black will be good till the end of the month.

Aren't the Tigers colors orange and dark, navy blue?

That's what I've always thought.

The obesity series. So far, Sandoval is getting the best of Fielder.

I never cared for forced nicknames of Series. I can deal with the Subway Series from the past, but I don't like it used today. There has to be a tangible and unique reason to give a Series a name, not just because we-need-to-give-it-a-name.

Navy blue is a very dark shade of the color blue which almost appears as black

these uniforms (I wore both in my 21 years u.s. navy career)
are call "navy blue" but are actually "black"
and appears black to the eye

navy blue is one of the colors of the detroit tigers uniform (navy blue,white and orange)

along with many other teams (yankees) in all sports

s.f. giants colors are black,orange and cream

So after the long color tutorial, we can agree that the Tigers colors are not truly black and orange.
In fact, in a ESPN photo with Leyland standing next to Bochy, you can see a very clear difference between the Tiger Navy blue and Giant black.

if it wasn't for we, this is what baseball uniforms would look like

their name is NOT herbalife,

like I said above, the press, and MLB comes out with these nicknames
and where do you think they get it from
they get from WE the fans

this is a good article on why we need to give it a nickname
to a series or to any-one

this series will FOREVER be know as the panda series

It doesn't matter if subways exist or not. The name Subway Series is forced when people are always looking for it. It's not about whether the name is true or not. I'd rather see the names develop more naturally. I want something to develop and stick; not something that stuck once, so let's try to make it stick again.

Nicknames often come from just 1 person, either a sportswriter, Charlie Finley, a teammate, a family member from early on, a wiseguy in the MLB marketing dept... Sometime they come from the fans in general too, but usually the fans just pick up on something already developing.

This article says nothing about why we need to give any series a nickname.

The 1975 WS.... The 1986 WS... these really have not needed nicknames...

[Mr. Laser Beam]

World Series nicknames only show up when they're needed. Meaning:

- Subway Series, because you can take the NYC subway to get from Yankees to Mets games and vice versa.

- Bay Area Series, Athletics/Giants (obvious reasons).

- Freeway Series, if there ever is one, between Angels and Dodgers (freeway refers to Interstate 5 between Angel Stadium and Dodger Stadium).

- If there's ever a Cubs/Whitesox WS, there'll be a nickname for that too. I don't know what they would call it though. Red Line Series?

But otherwise, no. It's all in the same city, or general area, when things like this happen.

It was my interpretation that the original poster was meaning the Giants and Tigers colors are very similar (Tigers dark blue v. Giants black very similar, nit picky) and the fact that halloween is at the end of October . . .well? . .. At least that is the way I interpreted it . . . and I don't think a series name must be a regional oriented. IMHO.

I like Halloween Series 2012 . . . it won't catch, but don't matter, I'll always call it that. ;-)

Lazer, don't forget the I-70 Series of 1985 . . . St. Louis Cards vs. Kansas City Royals . . . I know, it was regional ;-)
