At the very least they could have changed the name to something that still gave a nod to Native Americans. But I digress. At least we still have the Braves. Presumably the "Guardians of the Universe" will eventually get a better logo. It always takes several iterations to get it right. First step is to change the team colors to green.

Personally, I feel the logo is a bit more angular and pixel-y than I'd normally prefer, and I gotta be honest, I thought "Spiders" was just a cooler name, generally, but I understand what they're going for, and hey, as said, logos change from time to time and maybe it gets a little curvature over time. But overall, looks pretty interesting. That faux-3D effect is nifty.

I'm also not sure what being from up north has to do with anything, but I think we've reached whatever limit there was to reach. Back to baseball! Updated Saturday, July 24 2021 @ 3:55:11 pm PDT
