Solution? Don't start by throwing around insults, or at least be "proper" with your criticism. It's not very difficult... for most people. For you, it might require more work.

With all due respect, I don't see how calling the Wizards gold alts "gross" can be classified as "starting isht" or "throwing around insults", and the reason I took offense to your Ducks comment was not because you insulted a team I follow (I happen to agree that their logo is absolutely hideous), but rather because I found your faulty reasoning of connecting their offensive logo to my level of intelligence offensive.

According to you: The Ducks uniform sucks = The Preacher likes the Ducks = This makes the Preacher an idiot, and unfit to comment on the aesthetics of sports

Probably one of the most absurd processes of thought I have ever seen on a message board. And that, my sartorially-challenged friend, is what upset me.

I don't mean to interrupt, but perhaps you guys can explain this to this non-basketball fan, but what does the old Bullets logo have anything to do with bullets? Am I missing something obvious, or has it always just been accepted that the logo doesn't necessarily reflect the name?

@hockey week, please do interrupt...seems there are more of these arrogant "disagreements", if you like, by the day.

As for your question, I would imagine nothing. I think they were represented as a "fast team", as fast as a bullet, perhaps? I can't really see any relation in within the logo itself of a bullet, so I would imagine it had some meaning behind it, just not the obvious one.

But then again, my rear may be having conversations on it's own again.

Lovin the concepts so far man. Good work.

Unlike the Houston Colt .45's, who had a "smoking gun" for a logo, the Bullets unis had more to do with the old Superman description "Faster than a speeding bullet", than they did with actual ammunition. The Bullets, like the Pacers, are just one of the cool, simplistic, minimalist logos that is so great because it's a classic.
