GMac Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I was on twitter yesterday when the REDBLACKS and CFL twitter feed posted a picture of a guy who took a 28" saw blade and turned it into the new logo... My first instinct when I saw it was the teeth are the wrong way, the guy put the logo on the wrong face and had the teeth of the blade backwards... So I pointed it out... lolJust wondering if I am the only 'logo snob" out there or has anyone done something similar GDB...

Brave-Bird 08 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 You begin to have a panic attack whenever you see this atrocity on actual merchandise: (backstory...I actually do have an anxiety disorder, and one time while jogging I saw a girl wearing a cap with this logo on it and literally almost had a true panic attack. I had a terrible urge and regret from not telling her her hat was clearly fake. I laughed at myself later) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave-Bird 08 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 It was rendered by someone the year the logo was released, hit the front page of Google search and then thrown into a ton of graphics by secondary "designers", hobbyists, and even picked up by crappy, counterfeit companies. The NFL, as far as I know, hasn't used this in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBubba Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Refusing to buy a cap when the button is the wrong colour. The cap in question:Note the red button. I only ever find ones with a blue button.

DeFrank Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I feel like such a snob with all of my friends about any of this and I hate it. Like a hipster or something.Our high school colors range from navy/white, navy/orange, navy/gold, royal/gold, royal/orange, or navy/yellow and whenever anybody says anything related to our colors, like "what are our colors anyway?" or something I just get so worked up like they're some idiot.Or when I go to a Redskins game with friends I'll always have to point out the other teams uniforms, sometimes its fun, and my friends actually like when I mention... oh I don't know, the white stripe on the Bengals pants or the fact that black pants with black socks look horrible, but I'll usually go overboard. concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyopokes2 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I got on my girlfriend's nerves because I wouldn't let it go that Florida's women softball team uses the old gator (light green chin) and old wordmark still. I mean maybe softball was too low down on the list to get their jerseys upgraded but it was still irritating (even though it's better). You can't see the side patch in this pic but here's the wordmark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
