SIAP, but I still wish it were called Jersey Mike's RAC, but it's at least nice to see a new sign up...

Sure does. Very cheap looking. Feels like it’s in a mini-mall.
The problem is that anything new on the facade just highlights how bad the building looks. So glad renovations are on the way. This is truly lipstick on a pig, but I get it. It's more about branding for our corporate sponsor and less about trying to make the RAC look better. The renovations will take care of that.

Not calling it Jersey Mikes RAC is a miss because it’s so often referred to as the “The RAC” at least when people say on TV “here at Jersey Mikes RAC” they are associating themselves with the more popular phrase. “Arena” is not associative.

Also it would have opened up to saying things like

“Welcome to Jersey Mike’s RAC, where Big Cliff feasts” I’m sure other clever marketing / word play.

It’s good. This will all change with the renovation of the entrance anyway more than likely. That said a Block R at the top would be nice. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Maybe there's structural considerations that made it impossible but some version of this sign maybe? With "Arena" instead of Subs

Your idea is being used on the ground level by the doors...



Check out the bottom of the pic.

What a bunch of Petty Complainers. Lol, 😂.

It's the Jersey Mike's logo. There is no option to change their logo, change the color or put it in a different font or script.

one person and it wasn't even a complaint but a suggestion . The old crummy roof is what makes it look cheap. We know it is temporary but can't we admit it doesn't look anywhere as nice as this ?

Couldn’t they have at least sprayed the ugly brown roofing red before putting the sign on? That would’ve looked pretty good and prob could’ve been done in like 2 days.

I agree that it’s mainly the roof that makes the new sign look bad. Doesn’t look like a surface that you would put a sign on.

Have asked before......why not have solar panels on that roof?
Those ARE solar panels. They're the original 1977 version. Things have come a LOOOONG way lol. (at least that's what I tell my friends who comment on the roof) 😛

If they called it the Jersey Mikes RAC everyone would just call it the RAC. Do you know what the real name of Indiana's Assembly Hall is? It isn't just Assembly Hall.
