Well, they did it. The blank top banners are back. Leaving aside the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim issue, were there no other solutions? How about:
1) All horizontal cards (one banner)
2) Put "Angels" in both banners
3) Put "Amer. Lea." as a tribute to the 1974 Padres
4) Have no banner
5) Anything else

Yeah. I know why. I just think they could have done better by now. They knew the 1974 Heritage set was coming. And there were solutions.

I agree. Lazy decision that looks horrible and unfinished.

Just put "Los Angeles" in the top banner, or "Anaheim". Either way is fine, much better than leaving it blank. That being said, does anybody else find it incredibly silly/annoying that they insist on referring to themselves as the "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim"?

The official team name is the Los Angeles Angels. The Anaheim part was dropped from the name after the 2015 season. Moreno never wanted the Anaheim part in the name, hence the lawsuit that Anaheim filed. Anyone who follows the team does not call them with the Anaheim name in it.

I responded to the other post so copying and pasting it here too...This was the explanation that was given to me..."It's a contractual thing the owner of the Angels insists on, that it can't just be 'the los angeles angels' or 'the anaheim angels', it has to be the full thing, and can only be truncated as 'Angels', and Topps has abided by this for years. It just makes for inconvenient design sometimes."

I get the main problem. Whatever the combo is now, they can’t use it. Tell me what YOU would have done.
I’d have gone all horizontal (like cards 32 and 36 and . . .) and put “Angels” in the banner. There’s no upper banner on those.
But there are other options. How many solutions can we come up with that are not bright blank banners?

Yep. And in Transcendent I think. The lack of problem solving skills is remarkable.
