NAMED: Levi's® Stadium thread

Just in case anyone is interested in names that MIGHT have been on the stadium...

...I work for Brocade and am in an all-hands with the CEO. He just told the crowd that Brocade tried to get naming rights but were outbid.

Awe, man. There went our shot at the nickname I came up with for the stadium when they signed with Brocade. The Bro!

Thanks for sharing. The design of our new stadium is growing on me more and more. Can't wait for the 2014 season

I am going to be at the opener no matter the price or schedule.

I wouldn't mind the "LS&C Stadium", "The Levi" or even my personal favorite "The 501"

It's a tangent but God was I hoping IBM would have bought Brocade when the rumors were swirling! Now we're stuck with this BNT garbage.

I really thought one of the tech companies would have been the high bidder.

Everyone knows their names. No need to waste money on that.

Brocade never had a chance lol. I'm talking about the tech companies everyone was talking about (Google, Facebook, Apple).

You know Berman is going to call it the Big Bell Bottom

Levi's applies for trademark on 'Field of Jeans'

When Jed York and the San Francisco 49ers announced the partnership with Levi Strauss for the naming rights to the team's new stadium in early May the nickname jokes flew hard and fast.

Levi's has applied for two trademarks pertaining to the 49ers' new stadium.


York quipped that the best one he heard was "Field of Jeans." "Big Button Fly" and "The Big Zipper" were others suggested by the deluge of the late-night comedian want-to-bes.

While we were all joking, Levi apparently was taking notes.

The jean company applied for a trademark on the "Field of Jeans" phrase, Mike Rosenberg of the San Jose Mercury News reported this week.

Levi also applied for a trademark of the phrase, "Win One for the Zipper," which CEO Chip Bergh joked a coach could say in the locker room.

These might be just premptive trademarks. Companies do that all the time.

I reiterate my choice for a nickname: "Denims Den"

- alliterative and easy to say, with a poetic balance of syllables
- depending on the context can be both benignly witty or ominous
- not as clumsy as "Denims Dungeon" which has too many syllables and sounds like its trying too hard to sound menacing
- as already mentioned, references "Devil's Den" a bloody part of the Battle of Gettysburg
- of course ties into the whole jeans theme, but not too overtly that its corny

it'd be cool if they at least use it for a section of the stadium...
