Gothamite Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 In their article on the new NFL logo, USA Today referenced the main site.Right there at the bottom:AROUND THE WEB: A look at the history of the NFL shieldTakes readers right to the NHL logo page. Great exposure, right? It would be, except anyone clicking on the logos will also get these insightful and illuminating pearls of wisdom:this is effin gayPosted by dylan sims on July 23, 2007this logo looks like baseball weiredPosted by poop on May 31, 2007andits a logo!Posted by marc on June 30, 2007there are 25 stars on the nfl flag because there are 25 states that are in the NFLPosted by jireh vadez on March 24, 2007The comments were a great idea, but there's no control. These high-profile comments range from inane to offensive. This site is a great resource, and is diminished by garbage like this. Anybody else find this as annoying as I?

BadSeed84 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I was thinking this the other day.The comments need to be heavily moderated, only comments giving addintional information about the logo should be put up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersurge Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 WOW. That is pretty bad.If its any consolation, "effin gay" is considered quite an articulate and insightful commentary these days......amongst most tenth graders okay, I get your point.

Brian in Boston Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 i]there are 25 stars on the nfl flag because there are 25 states that are in the NFLPosted by jireh vadez on March 24, 2007 That's either really funny, really disturbing or really outdated....Has anyone even validated or disproved this statement yet?I know its a pretty odd statement, but I wonder if its even somewhat feasible?I'm just saying, it could have some merit No, it doesn't. The NFL currently has 32 franchises based in 21 US states.In 1940, when the first version of the NFL shield logo was introduced, the league was comprised of 10 franchises playing in 6 US states and the District of Columbia.in 1980, when the NFL logo was last updated prior to the most recent changes, the league was comprised of 28 franchises playing in 17 US states and the District of Columbia.

Maybe, just maybe the stars were put there just for asthetic purposes and have no actual symbolism. Could it be? A logo where every damn element doesn't have some symbolic meaning. What a concept that would be. Hmmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
