Nationals Logo

Does anyone else see the 76 in the Washington National's W logo? This is something that I noticed the first time that I saw the logo.

[fonz]

No

[TBGKon]

kinda-sorta, but it's a stretch.

[rcb05]

That's a big stretch

If there is a 76 in there, it's meaningless, since Washington DC was founded in 1790.

I know you are well aware of the significance of '76'... and just because it happened in Philadelphia doesn't mean Washington can't celebrate the founding year of its nation.

FWIW, the Ottawa 67s of the OHL take their name from Canada's founding year of 1867, even though the city had nothing to do with it.

I see a seven.. but no six.. Could someone point it out persey?

[kansascityjayhawk4]

I see the seven, but if that's a 6 in the middle, and that's what it's intended for, then i think it would be safe to say i made better sixes in preschool.

If anything, I see a face of some sort.

[HatManTC]

i think he's talking about the cap logo.

anyways i kinda see the 7 but i can't see the 6. can someone please point it out.

[KevinMcD]

I think the part I used the black on is the 6

[NJTank]

I dont see it at all

[Eye]

I think the part I used the black on is the 6

Yep, you got it right. The green is the seven and the black is the six. That's how dyslexic, left handed pre-schoolers who hold their pencils awkwardly would make their numbers.

Halucination.

2 minutes in Paint makes it all so much clearer.

Exactly what I saw, but my science teacher did tell me that humans have a part of our brain that is just for making faces out of nothing, so it makes sense. I mean, think of all those optical illusions, one way its a face, another way its a body.

[BrianVlietDesign]

If it is, thats one of the most stupidest ideas to put it into the "W" logo. I barely saw what you were talking about. Now that I do, its really dumb.

Blatantly false, on both counts.

Actually, the 67's take their name from the centennial year, 1967, the year the franchise entered the OHA, which has since become the OHL.

Even though confederation was discussed in Charlottetown, PEI, and the Dominion of Canada was created by an act of the British Parliament in London, England, Ottawa has been the one and only capital of Canada since the country's inception in 1867. I'd have assumed that even the most obtuse could discern a slight connection.

Perhaps you're confusing the nation of Canada with the province of Canada, (the union of Upper Canada and Lower Canada), the capital of which altered between Kingston, Montreal, Toronto, and Quebec City before settling in Ottawa.
