They made the right choice. Some logos are best left in the past:

Tough to discuss this without getting it roadhoused.

Have the new SOX BP/Spring Training caps gone onsale yet? I didn't see it on the official site. They look nice matched up with the black jerseys based on the photos released today from inside the clubhouse. I'm hoping this will be my new favorite cap. I really liked the similar styled BP cap from a few years ago, except the mesh fabric was not as nice as the new ones.
I also like the revised Braves cap. I'm still warming up to all the alternate logos and white crowns. I'm glad the SOX kept their caps simple, although I wonder how the Diamond SOX or the Flying SOX would have looked. Last edited by Red Barchetta; 02-12-2013 at 03:49 PM. |

It's a good thing they didn't go with this screaming savage either. Braves fans under the age of 20 just wouldn't get it.

Now if you could have just photoshopped his head on a cap, it would have been a classic!

I disagree with the over-sensitive people who bitch and moan about this ****ing nonsense.
It is an honor for Native Americans to be used as sports teams' nicknames/logos. Teams use Native American names and imagery because in the past they were strong, fierce, and brave warriors. I have especially disagreed with Paul Lukas of ESPN/ Uni Watch over this issue. Edit: I can understand the outrage over the Cleveland Indians' Chief Wahoo logo and The Washington Redskins' name but, for folks to be upset over the names and imagery of ALL of these teams is just ridiculous. If they ever mess with the Blackhawks name or logo I'll be the one who's outraged. Last edited by Thome25; 02-12-2013 at 03:54 PM. |

Speaking of offensive mascots, did anyone read Mike Florio's recent column calling for RGIII to use his influence to put an end to the name "Redskins"? |

Fact. Bring back "the Nose"! (If he's still alive, I think he last wrote for the Constitution in the mid 80s)

I know you have said you don't like Paul Lukas's views on the subject, and I respect that, but I think this is a pretty sane, rational piece: http://espn.go.com/blog/playbook/fan...erican-imagery Last edited by doublem23; 02-12-2013 at 04:12 PM. |

I imagine the Redskins would get a lot of flak from their older fans if they were to change the name....but if they do it right think of all the money they can rake in from selling their new apparel.
As someone on Deadspin commented they could just offer to tweak the meaning of "redskins" and put an Idaho potato on their helmets. |
