Speaking of Sports Logos

7 Comments 19 March 2009

While I’m on the subject of sports teams logos… here’s a little rant I’ve had stored up in my heart for years. J.R. mentioned in the comments of the last post that he thought some NFL teams logos seemed like they belonged in the Arena League. Ouch. If there’s a sports league with a worse [...]
