Hey guys, I'm from the Milwaukee area! Cream city actually comes from a type of brick that was used in the construction of a LOT of buildings in the late 1800's and gave the city a very different aesthetic as opposed to everywhere else that used red bricks.
The airport code is actually CLT not CHA. The CHA is NBA thing. It perplexed people here that they didn’t use CLT because that is know three letter code for the city. Also the City of Flight has really nothing to do with our airport or the Hornet’s. It has to do with North Carolina being the place where the Wright Brothers flew the first ever airplane flight in Kitty Hawk North Carolina on the Outer Banks.
I went on google and there’s two explanations for Atlanta and Portland. For Atlanta : Peachtree symbolizes the streets that connect the neighborhoods, from Bankhead to Buckhead, from the West End to East Atlanta Village, and all throughout the metro Atlanta area. For Portland : The nickname Rip City was used by the team's play-by-play announcer Bill Schonely during a game against the Los Angeles Lakers on February 18, 1971, the Blazers' first season.
H-Town was ok. What Steve said early in the segment is that the standard for top half is that you get the name. I do understand H-Town. At least it wasn't the Wizards. Appalling.
The Timberwolves jersey say MSP is because it is a shortform for Minneapolis-St.Paul and it is also their airport code. Just like YYZ is the airport code for Pearson.
As someone from North Carolina who doesn't even follow the NBA, this kinda hurts. NC used to have "First in Flight" on its license plates because NC is where the first airplane flew. That's the flight stuff.
I guess a lot of these are like the old love analogy... being in love is like pissing yourself. Everyone sees it, but only you get the warm feeling it brings.
Not to rain on the parade of thinking that the Atlanta Jerseys are because of Georgia being the peach state, it says Peachtree because there are over 70 streets in Atlanta/Georgia that have the name Peachtree.
@@CrescentCitySweaters You get used to it after living here for awhile, they all have differences in the names. There is only one street actually called Peachtree Street, which incidentally becomes Peachtree Road.
They really should've had like any article at all to then explain each name after they joked on it. At least that's what I was expecting because cream city is rooted in the history of Milwaukee.
