DCDuck Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Look good, feel good, play good.So is that why the Marlins stink?Kinda hard to "feel good" when you have the worst owner in professional sports not named Dan Snyder.(That would also explain why the Washington OffensiveNames have been so awful for the past 15 years.)

Angels Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 The bird should also be wearing one of the jackets that Buck allways wears, even on 100+ degree days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonBoy Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 The change to the cartoon bird has been widely seen by O's fans in the greater DC/Balto area as an enormous upgrade over the "realistic" bird and/or caps that just feature the "O's" letter mark. As soon as it was announced the merch started flying off of the shelves here.It's like the Charlotte Hornets. Some things have an emotional connection with the local fans that are difficult to explain.When they switched back to the cartoon bird you could almost feel a shift with the organization. This could be new-agey, hippie dippie nonsense, but I don't think it's a coincidence that when they went back to a logo that people associated with positive memories that the team on the field started playing better. They've made the playoffs in two of the last three years. In 2011 after years of losing seasons and irrelevance they went 69-93 in their last season with the ornithologically accurate bird. In 2012 their first full year with Showalter they switched to the cartoon bird, flipped their record to 93-69, and made the playoffs. I'm not saying it's even 5% of the reason for the turnaround, but there's something there. 2011 was the first full year under Showalter. He came in in the 2nd half of 2010. I think the timing with the change to the cartoon bird had a lot to do with ownership knowing a change in performance was coming. Buck was there for 1-1/2 years, a new GM, and some solid core players were really changing the culture of the team. 2012 was the perfect time for a change. I just wish they hadn't brought back the white panel for the home cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonBoy Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Nah, he should have a throwback B cap on. The Old-English B hat is about a billion times better than this generic...thing. As much as you like plain-jane baseball uniforms, not every MLB team needs to have a generic letter, as it's no longer 1907.In general, I agree. I love that Old English "B", which might be the best cap logo they've ever had.But we were talking about one specific application, and the Old English is too complicated to be included as part of the Smiling Oriole logo. That's why I suggested the block "B" - simple enough to reproduce at a small size, and yet none of the "ashamed of our city" factor the O's cap has.Was that ever a real cap logo for them? I thought this was modeled after an old minor league team named the Orioles, long before the current franchise moved to town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 No, it's a real logo of theirs. From 1955Strangely enough, it was only worn on the helmets. Never seems to have made it to any caps. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I still wish they would take the cursive B from the Baltimore script and use that on their caps. I don't think there are too many cursive letters on caps right now. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard88 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I could live with either of those (Old English preferred). I can't stand the O's cap.

Dynasty Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 So, the Orioles are successful..... because of a logo change? Please, it's nothing more than a coincidence. However, I'm still glad they went back to the cartoon bird as Orioles fans seem to like it more.Listen here, guy, don't be all mad just because your dolphin is now some soulless shape. Oh? The Dolphins? I assumed we were talking about the Orioles, not the Dolphins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFGiants58 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I'm kind of partial to John Adsit's tweak of the current cartoon bird logo (he even found a way to make the bird look good on an orange background):As for full body birds, I'm going to with the one Gothamite picked out.

leopard88 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 My personal favorite version...Dear God, no!!! I can't stand that logo. The bird just looks too wimpy . . . or something. If you want a cartoon bird swinging a bat, you need this one.Myself, I don't think it gets any better than the original.Perfect. Also, I think my sig makes my feelings about the Psycho Bird clear.
