HOLY SHIT YOU'RE RIGHT!

new padres logo suxx btw, looks like the logo for some new condo development. bring back the beltin friar.

cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 11 August 2004 22:17 (nineteen years ago) link

I wouldn't mind the friar mixed w/ the mid-80s brown pinstripes. Only bring back the OLD old Padres look (that is, the color scheme / organization that made the Pads unis look like old Big Mac wrappers) if everyone gets outfitted w/ Oscar Gamble fros.

I have a weird fascination with the padres camo uniforms... don't hate me.

gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 11 August 2004 22:20 (nineteen years ago) link

it's such backhanded tribute to the troops - 'we think yr unis look ass - see?'; plus san diego's a navy town so to show their support they dress up like the army - gee thanx!

cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 11 August 2004 22:23 (nineteen years ago) link

could you imagine the sailor suits? isn't there naval camo?

gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 11 August 2004 22:24 (nineteen years ago) link

Pass the dunce cap, Blount - I didn't realize EITHER of those things until this thread. And I'm 65.

Haha, I feel better. I wasn't going to admit my ignorance...

gygax!, I like the camo unis too. I was the only one I knew who did, though.

http://learningthefaith.com/New%20Images/phillies_logo.gif

this logo is a total failure to communicate anything whatsoever about the team. if i wasn't a baseball fan i'd have no idea what this logo was for. & what's the significance of the stars over the i's¿

this is an attempt to bring back a sorta-modernized version of the phillies' logo circa 1950 (the "whiz kids" world series team)-to-1970 (their last year in connie mack stadium, before they moved into the vet).

i still like the 1971-early 1990s phillies logo best, though. and so does outkast.

man i was like fourteen or so before i figured out that expos logo is an m. it was like the last season of the brewers using the glove logo when i figured out it's an 'm' and a 'b'. i'm an idiot.

"A stylized "M" for Montreal, containing a red "e" for Expos, and a blue "b" for baseball."

I had a similar epiphany about the arrows in the Fed Ex logo a couple months ago

"(We have) no plans to get rid of Chief Wahoo," Dolan told the Plain Dealer. "it is part of our history and legacy.

"We do have empathy for those who take issue with it. We have minimized the use of it and we'll continue to do what we think is appropriate."

We know that people are offended by it. So we will continue to use it.

Karl Malone, Saturday, 2 April 2016 17:47 (eight years ago) link

We know that people are offended by it. But we make money off it.
