They also shrank the front numbers on the Home & Away jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be one of the few DC color schemes that has absolutely no connection to the city. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Both the Federals' and the blue/black/gold Caps/Wizards' color schemes absolutely have a connection to the city. What's an iconic symbol of the Federal Government? Green paper money! It's as Washington, D.C. as you could get. An incredible color scheme for the capital. What's an iconic symbol of the Federal Government? The Seal of the President of the United States! It's midnight blue and gold. Another incredible color scheme for the District. Also, the Nationals could get rid of the blue in their color scheme and it would be just fine. Because the flag of the District of Columbia. D.C. is obviously a good spot for a red/white/blue color scheme, but it isn't necessary. So many good options are available. Now, if you're team name is patriotic in a more flag-waving sense (76ers, Revolution, Patriots.duh) maybe red/white/blue is the best scheme. concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aw, I'm dumb. Well, it was at one point. What I meant was that the Sixers were so deeply entrenched in r/w/b that going away from it was a huge mistake.

Green and black schemes like the Federals are barely related to the color of money. The Caps/Wizards colors were likely chosen because of the Seal of the United States Congress. The Presidential seal uses a darker midnight blue than the Congressional version, and the Congressional Seal is slightly less hyper-partisan than the Presidential seal.

keynote Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 2 hours ago, BigEd76 said: Washington's new G-League team will be the Capital City Go-Go. I *love* the name. It's a way to pay homage to the culture of the city without resorting to tired references to the federal government. I even like the conga graphic. That said, the word mark and the rest of the logo feels phoned in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The genre of go-go predates the Wham! single. In any event, the primary logo isn't great, but whew, that secondary is a thing of beauty. I'm cised.

The Washington Federals were definitely treasury themed I think! nobody has ever seen the congressional seal?
