Rob E Dangerously Posted November 22, 2004 Report Posted November 22, 2004 Nationals is such a lame nickname
kkktookmybabyaway Posted November 22, 2004 Report Posted November 22, 2004 Two things: 1) What league is this team in -- American or National? 2) It looks like an American/National league symbol. I don't like it...
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted November 22, 2004 Report Posted November 22, 2004 They're still in the National League East. The original Washington Senators were officially known as the Nationals for much of their original run, but the fans never bought that. I can live with the logo. I believe MLB.com is running the press conference live at noon.
Slickster Posted November 22, 2004 Report Posted November 22, 2004 ^ photo taken last night as they prepared for today's press conference.
Open the Muggy Gate Posted November 22, 2004 Report Posted November 22, 2004 I'm ok with that name. It could have been worse.... a lot worse.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted November 22, 2004 Report Posted November 22, 2004 Well, if the "W" would mean they're a pro-Bush team, then they're probably going to rival the Yanks in payroll...
Guest P!NK. Posted November 22, 2004 Report Posted November 22, 2004 Not exactly the sexiest sports logo. Then again, the old Expos logo was abysmal too so cheers to tradition, I guess.
Highland Posted November 22, 2004 Report Posted November 22, 2004 Finally! Finally there's a logo more hideous than the 3rd alternate jersey's of the Boston Bruins: The Caps for the Washington Nationals.
Guest Smues Posted November 22, 2004 Report Posted November 22, 2004 2) It looks like an American/National league symbol. That's the first thing I thought of when I say it. Looks like the logo the players would wear for the all-star game. Name is fine, logo could use a little tinkering, hat needs a complete makeover.
Slickster Posted November 22, 2004 Report Posted November 22, 2004 Those hats are hideous. They're also classics:
Open the Muggy Gate Posted November 22, 2004 Report Posted November 22, 2004 Oh shit... a W on the hat. A pro-Bush team! *RUNS THE OTHER WAY*
The Czech Republic Posted November 22, 2004 Author Report Posted November 22, 2004 This is why I said they should have DC on the caps. THey will sooner or later
Hektik Posted November 22, 2004 Report Posted November 22, 2004 They do have a DC logo on their MLB website Personally, I think they should be called the DC Nationals.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted November 23, 2004 Report Posted November 23, 2004 You can't have a fucking team named after the LEAGUE they are in? I hate Canadians even more now for inducing this change.
CanadianChris Posted November 23, 2004 Report Posted November 23, 2004 You can't have a fucking team named after the LEAGUE they are in? I hate Canadians even more now for inducing this change. I never knew Jeff Loria was a Canadian. Don't blame the fans when the owner basically said, "Don't come watch this team!"
Vern Gagne Posted November 23, 2004 Report Posted November 23, 2004 I would of prefered Washington Grays. Nice tribute, and different.
Highland Posted November 23, 2004 Report Posted November 23, 2004 Except you'd get accusations of pro-Confederacy.
Vern Gagne Posted November 23, 2004 Report Posted November 23, 2004 Considering it was the name of a Negro league team. Those complaining can fuck off.
Brett Favre Posted November 23, 2004 Report Posted November 23, 2004 The W on the cap looks like the grim reaper. The Logo is fine though, although I would have preferred Senators. Nationals in the National league doesn't sound to good.
The Czech Republic Posted November 23, 2004 Author Report Posted November 23, 2004 Considering it was the name of a Negro league team. Those complaining can fuck off. A Negro League team from Pittsburgh
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted November 23, 2004 Report Posted November 23, 2004 Actually they played quite a few games around the Washington area as well.
The Czech Republic Posted November 23, 2004 Author Report Posted November 23, 2004 Right, but the Homestead Grays were based in Pittsburgh moreso than Washington.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted November 23, 2004 Report Posted November 23, 2004 Yes, but the point is that they have clear ties to the Washington area.
The Czech Republic Posted November 23, 2004 Author Report Posted November 23, 2004 Which is true, but Grays is an unrelentingly shitty name.
