leopard88 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 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).

Survival79 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Did we ever see the new 49ers alternate logo? I think it would qualify as a "logo you didn't know they had" for some.

tohasbo Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 The Nationals are slowly putting the "DC" mark out to pasture, in favor of emphasizing the curly "W" instead. I would expect the alternate uniforms with the "DC" on them to go away in a season or two, as well...i hope not cuz I LOVE the DC interlocking logo. It's cool.

I'll bite....Please explain. What's so "flawed" about it?I'll bite on this. What is so "flawed" about it is that it barely looks like a capital W. It looks more like a strange Z followed by a lopsided lowercase e. If you took the loop out of the middle, it wouldn't be so bad.

Gothamite Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Almost No History > No HistoryPerhaps, but not enough on its own to overcome a flawed design.That is a completely different discussion.I don't agree.If the best you can say about it is "it has a little history", and that history is mostly bad, and it's a mediocre design at best, then I think the original formula "Almost No History > No History" is false.Sometimes it's better to start fresh. Unfortunate that Washington knew this in 1961 (when they gave us a bad new design) but not in 2005. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

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. Tomorrow's just your future yesterday.

Five points for either the song or artist; 15 for the combo.)isn't that by some DC dude named Wale? could be spelled the regular Whale, i'm not sure, but i thought it was Wale. Read about it on some site a couple days ago actually, thats the only reason i know it, i'll forget it again in a couple days. i'm guessing the song is called nike boots, but i don't know for sure, though i could just look it up, but thats cheating. a clean 5 points is better than a dirty 15.edit: think i read about him here- http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.6545...with-interscopeand clicked on some link to listen to his stuff.
