BrySmalls Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I find the DC mark to be more relevant to this club than the W. I think the W should be the one put to pasture, in regards to the current incaranation of this club.Naah, i'm the opposite. I find the "W" to be the better logo since it has the history behind it.Here's the rub, though - the Walgreens' W has almost no history behind it....Almost No History > No HistoryThat being said, the curly W has been injected with a history it didn't earn because it was used throughout the hiatus between the Senators' departure and the Nationals' arrival. Even though it was only used by the Senators for about 8 years (IIRC), it is treated as if it was in use for about 40 years. That false history helps fuel the perception that it is an iconic symbol of Washington baseball.As for "Washington" vs. "DC", in my experience, someone living in Bethesda, Silver Spring, etc. may say they live in Washington to an out-of-towner. However, I've never known anyone living outside the District to say they are from "DC" or "the District." Therefore, I think it is fair to say that, at least in theory, the W represents a broader geographic area than the DC (even if they actually represent the same place).I've lived in Bethesda my whole life, and I always say I'm from DC, without any hesitation.Didn't you used to be some big Orioles fan?I'm still a bit of an Orioles fan, but I find the Nationals to be far more organized and willing to win than the Orioles have been for the last 11 years. It's not so much the winning - it's the fact that I can enjoy watching a team without laughing about how pathetic they are.Your team built a stadium with virtually no parking...that's pretty pathetic.Meh, rather take chances with the Metro than shell out an extra $15 or so for parking. Besides the failsafe plan is to park at RFK Stadium and take a bus to Nats Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning River Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Every freakin' thread turns in to a "My team is better than your team" episode of childish bickering. No matter how hard people try to get back on topic, the topic gets ignored. As soon as a thread gets hi-jacked in that manner... can't the mods just delete the "Reply"?Yeah... Anyways... As I rant off topic back to on topic...My quetion is: Is the "Redskins" script "R" (Joe Gibbs Hat) considered to be one of their alt logos? Is it "official" or used simply for merchandise?

chuckymack Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Anyone else wonder why in the a team named the 'Blues' would have freaking trumpets on their jersey?! I mean, when I think trumpets, I think of marching bands, jazz ensembles, big band swing and ska. Blues music is a GUITAR-based genre. Just ask Robert Johnson. Erego, this conclusion would lead me to believe that whomever designed this has:A.) No discernable aesthetic sense whatsoever, andB.) No clue about the music his client's team was named after.I already addressed this in another thread (to an extent), but you really need to have an understanding as to what the name "St. Louis Blues" means:"St. Louis Blues"This is a song that is associated with JAZZ, not the traditional blues you are referring to. In fact, Louis Armstrong (a trumpet player, of course) recorded a very famous version of this song.Well, poop. I stand corrected. Thanks for the info, by the way.Please disregard my previous post(and all other moronic posts I've made, for that matter). Yes, I'm aware that that would mean most of my posts.... Sigs are for sissies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakland ehs Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Is the "Redskins" script "R" (Joe Gibbs Hat) considered to be one of their alt logos? Is it "official" or used simply for merchandise?I would think so, because it's apart of Reebok's line of sideline/coaches hats, not just a fan hat. Usually Reebok only uses official logos for their team apparel, especially when it comes to sideline wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I would say that, by definition, anything that appears on the sideline is "official" and not just for merchandise.... The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, Louis Armstrong (a trumpet player, of course) recorded a very famous version of this song.And just to add on, Miles Davis -- the most famous trumpet player of all time, maybe? -- considered himself a blues musician. Even when he was doing synth pop in the 1980's, he always said he loved the blues best, and said much of his music was still in that style. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 The thing I find funny about the backlash against this jersey is that the uniforms they were wearing full time weren't that much better looking.To each their own, I guess. I personally loved those uniforms. One of my favo(u)rite NHL sets of all time.

ShinyHubCaps Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 It's interesting; some of these are about ones they use and didn't know about, but it seems that some, like the Blues jersey, were altogether unused.If that's the case, I add this, which was planned for the Milwaukee Bucks for the 2003-2004 season but scratched before production. I'd like to see one of these in fabric and not in print, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
