It works well enough because it is so identifiable and enduring, but I think perhaps it is also too derivative of a bulls-eye. As in, "We're an easy target for every team to beat like a drum."
Everything looks better in concentric circles, don't you think?
It's nice to know the Royals preserve some shred of evidence that they were once baseball royalty before trading their kingdom, castle, throne, crown jewels, scepter and perpetual tax-levying rights in exchange for about eight dozen minor league prospects who never amounted to anything.
I like how the large type-face accentuates the Giants' nickname, but I suspect I wouldn't be quite so impressed if I didn't grow up a San Francisco fan.
It's OK, but I miss Mr. Redlegs hustling inside the big C as if he were Joe Morgan scoring from first on a Johnny Bench double or Pete Rose legging out a base on balls.
How can you have a team in Washington without incorporating one of the city's three iconic images: the Washington Monument, the Capital Dome or a lobbyist passing out envelopes bulging with cash?
A good try but ultimately a swing and a miss, not unlike a Mark Reynolds at-bat.
Well, it certainly beats the old logo of a Native American warrior screaming so demonstrably it was as if he just received his season-ticket renewal bill.
I get what they're going for here, and part of me likes it. But whenever I see it, a bigger part of me thinks of Gilligan and the Skipper posing with the life preserver from the S.S. Minnow.
I'm not exactly sure how to read the "compass rose," and based on Seattle's moves in recent years (seven managerial changes since 2002), I'm not sure the Mariners know, either.
Which camp were you in? That the old logo of an "M" and "B" forming a mitt was very clever or just a little too clever for its own good? I could never make up my mind. Apparently, the Brewers couldn't either, which is why we have the current logo.
I'm sorry. This isn't the Audubon Society, this is a baseball team. The old cartoon Oriole was good enough for Brooks Robinson, Boog Powell, Frank Robinson, Jim Palmer and Cal Ripken. It should be good enough for Matt Wieters and Luke Scott.
I like the individual elements, but it's just a little too crowded inside that ball field outline, don't you think? Kind of like Greg Luzinski squeezing into one of those polyester uniforms after it had been left in the dryer too long.
As a fan of cartoon logos, I should like this, but I just don't care for the scratchy artistic style of the cartoon. The pirate looks a little too aggressive, though perhaps that's because he is pissed off about 18 consecutive losing seasons.
OK, they got rid of the big, bad "devil." I hope everyone is satisfied. Because they got baseball's most boring logo in its place.
Note to Nolan Ryan. Congratulations on the minority ownership thing. Way to get the Rangers to the World Series. And keep up the effort to have starters pitch longer into games. But can you please turn your attention to something really important, like getting the team a decent logo?
I'm not sure if this is a logo for a baseball team or a laundry detergent.
Toronto tried to improve its old logo a couple years ago. It failed.
You know that overly quoted "Apollo 13" line that every headline writer has used at least 17 times? Well, when Tom Hanks said, "Houston, we have a problem," I think he is talking about this logo. I know Houston doesn't play in the Astrodome anymore, but the team would be a lot better off with the old logo of the baseballs orbiting the stadium.
And sometimes, even cartoons are just wildly inappropriate. People defend Chief Wahoo on the basis of tradition, but what kind of a defense is that? Yes, it's incredibly offensive, but we've been offending people with it for soooooo long we can't stop now. Do you think any responsible team or business would produce this logo today? Of course not. The only way a team could be more tone deaf to society values is if a franchise based in, say, the nation's capital used a racial slur for its team name.
