Stampman Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 After much research, we found out that the logo was designed by four-year-old Cletus Barfinkle, winner of a state-wide kindergarten drawing contest, ?Wheee, flames and stars!?

andrewharrington Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I think I want to sue DOSE for wasting that much of my time with that garbage. Half of those reviews are unjustified, contradictory, stupid, and/or ignorant; pick one of the above and it fits at least twelve of them. I still don't have a website, but I have a dribbble now! http://dribbble.com/andyharry [The postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily represent the position, strategy or opinions of adidas and/or its brands.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swilson160 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 What a stupid feature. When a feature can't be saved by references to Homicide: Life On The Street and the Cleveland Steamer, you know it's bad. Maybe once I'm done with 8th grade, I can write for a Canadian website, too.

Stampman Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 But some of them are funny--I do like this one-NFC South: Carolina PanthersDid you ever make up your own NFL teams when you were a kid and populate them with your fave players and call them the Spokane Spartans or the Wichita Gnarly Wombats or whatever? Inevitably you'd design their uniforms and helmets (admit it, you know you did). Anything you came up with back then looked a million times better than what the Carolina Panthers came up with.and this one-Anytime you have an excuse to incorporate cheese into a sports logo, you do it mister. I don't agree with all of them, but I laughed--and hey, I think that was their point...The writer could be one of us...

quantum Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 The reviews were juvenile. This was about as significant as the chick rating the helmets.

655321 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 The reviews were juvenile because that was the point! It was supposed to be sarcastic and funny opinion piece a la something from EW, not a nerd-pleasing, incredibly detailed critique of sports uniforms.I just can't believe they liked those crappy Buffalo rags. Icky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigga Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Whether this was intentional comedy or pure ignorance, I think it was funny as hell. Stop taking it so seriously, it's football. Have some fun. I love the "Skins" summary: Would people be more upset if it was Whiteskins, Yellowskins, or Blackskins? Probably. Blatant racism aside, we love maroon. Sorry, but that's funny.

quantum Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I didn't find it all that humorous or entertaining. I'm not sure what would improve it - better writing maybe?

TruColor Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 The whole thing was written by someone who was trying WAY too hard to be funny.And, he/she/it reviewed the old Cardinals' uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Evidence of ignorance: "Tampa Bay Devil Rays? Teal fish."The D-Rays do NOT, nor have EVER worn Teal. Or anything like it. No, Tampa Bay chose the other big color combination at the time, anything and black.I thought the whole thing was pretty tongue in cheek. It had a moment or two but overall the humor was pretty weak.
