Rob - I think you are missing something that all Californians know, but I really learned when I moved from NorCal to SoCal over 25 years ago : they are COMPLETELY different places.
Not only are they rivals, but they have different mindsets about just about everything. A simplistic view would be : the north has a "hippy" mindset, but mindset of "the man" took over in the south. With small pockets of exception, of course (like Topanga down here).
When they moved out here, they were SO far away from the other teams, that I assume (but don't actually know) that the standard pennant companies that shared images / styles between teams didn't bother, and instead local companies got the gigs. Do I get half credit for that thought?
