Touche! (Well, that's more like ~1.25 balls, but point granted)

That Clippers logo... Has there ever been an NBA logo with *two* basketballs?

Maryland's decision to revert (regress?) to their script unis is very disappointing. But, frankly, I'm just as disappointed as how static Under Armour & MD had let the design become. The original designs were outlandish, but in a unique conversation-starter way. It felt like UA was trying to position MD to be their Oregon -- their poster child for whatever bleeding edge design and technologcial innovation UA could come up with. But to do that, UA neededto keep tweaking, pushing, and iterating on the design. The moment they stood still, the design was goin to become dated very quickly -- and that's exactly what happy. Their basketball uniforms are in the same boat -- no propulsive momentum, and no legacy (on the men's side). And, unlike MD football, MD basketball has a legitimately deep reservoir of nostalgia for national relevance to reference & exploit. I think there's a stronger branding case for MD basketball to revert to the Bias-era unis (the '00s unis are also fine, but use fonts and an "M" logo that have been phased out).

Washington Commanders to debut new NFL identity

Wait. Does the decal have burgundy stripes separating the gold shapes, instead of just cutouts for the gold shapes arranged in the correct pattern? I'm sure the latter is more labor intensive, but it would also look much better close up than this. The texture of the burgundy "border" in the W is all wrong. -

At least the "W" will look reasonably unoffensive on a cap. (Visits the Commanders' Fanatics store) Why is the W so *large*?I -

"Maroon"? Did Jim Zorn write that copy? -

Too bad they waited until after Chuck Brown passed to do the rebrand. -

I think Williams in particular holds a special place in the fan base's heart versus, say, Rypien, given the historic nature of his win -- even though Rypien put up better stats during his peak in DC. -

Bringing it back to Washington, I will say I was a little salty at Jason Campbell for having the temerity to wear Doug Williams' #17. Williams' # wasn't strictly retired -- they've only retired Baugh, Bobby Mitchell, and more recently, Sean Taylor). And, if memory serves, Williams gave permission. But still. Campbell wasn't even the first QB to wear #17 after the Touch of Class era. WFT has traditionally been too laissez-faire about their greats' #s. Either retire a normal amount, or don't retire any, and rely on a ring of honor instead. Retiring some players' jerseys without formally retiring, say, Darrell Green's #28 -- doesn't make a lick of sense. https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-league/post/catch-17-is-doug-williams-old-jersey-off-limits-or-not/2010/12/20/gIQAypWVLJ_blog.html -

I'm surprised the Washington Hail didn't get more traction. -

It should be the '32s. And the apostrophe should be a "9," not a "6." -

A better look at the zero in the font. https://www.instagram.com/p/CYU3uN1pgdC/?utm_medium=copy_link
