Is it time to re-do the USA Baseball logos?

I want to be patriotic and sport my nation's baseball stuff, but every time I look at the USA Baseball team's logos, I cringe.

Firstly, the primary logo is way too busy and pointy. The italicized serif characters just scream 1990s too.

I think the word mark logo is better, but seems a bit off because the "S" evokes the national flag, but the lack of stars in this logo seems off. These two logos also seem to have little to do with each other design-wise, and carry no real continuity.

So what are your thoughts? What are the chances we'll see some new designs any time soon?

Do we see anything new? Probably not. I've never been a fan of either, though the US-star logo is fine, but still cluttered and the "USA" stripes is... well... um... yeah... bleh. I would not be opposed to seeing changes.

That reminds me an awful lot of the Dominican Republic's current WBC cap logo.

Not to be that guy, but I feel like USA baseball should go with a more classic look along the lines of this:

Count me as another who would like to see a logo like that, it kinda reminds me of the one they wore in 1934 during their tour of Japan, only with the colors reversed (shown below is the J.Crew/Ebbets Field Flannels version):

I can't muster up the energy to care too much about this until baseball gets reinstated as an Olympic sport.

The World Baseball Classic is a much better forum for international baseball than the Olympics ever was. Baseball was never really taken seriously in the Olympic Games, but this newer World Cup type of format that the WBC brings appears to be the most successful attempt at an international baseball tournament ever.

So there's a historical precedent for such a design? Awesome!

I wouldn't worry about the Dominican Republic's hats looking similar. It's no different than the Yankees and Tigers, or the Nationals and Cardinals, or the Giants and Baltimore's "O's" caps.

Just a few examples of other USA national teams that are superior IMO. Not good when table tennis and synchronized swimming is showing up the national past time.

I cant be the only one who sees the usa triathalon logo and think of the usa network's logo from the early 90s!

One thing I always felt, USA baseball's script has always looked like a bad knockoff of USA hockey's logo. Somewhat more overdone and yet it wound up lesser for the effort.
