The Baltimore Orioles have resurrected the old cartoon logo that was featured on their uniforms and caps up until the late ’80s. The Baltimore Sun tells you pretty much all you need to know at this link. The Sun also has a poll, and the fans are overwhelmingly in favor of the change.
I prefer the “ornithologically correct Oriole” myself, but I still like the cartoon bird. What I don’t like is the logo imposed on a white panel and the front of the cap. That brings back too many bad 70s fashion flashbacks.
Please write a post on the Miami Marlins’ new cap and uniforms. I would like to see what you think as I have no words.
Oh, goodness. I just took a look. After I recuperate, I promise I’ll post.
I look forward to the return of the cartoon bird
I don’t mean to overstate this, but I take full credit for the return of the cartoon bird. On my graphic design blog, which gets literally fives of hits a week, we called out the Orioles for their boring scientific bird logo back in August:

Congrats on getting the bird, so to speak. And thanks very much for the link to your entertaining blog. It’s now on my regular-read list.
