Apparently, the Arizona Cardinals have a 1PM MST press conference planned for today to announce their new logo.

That's what known as the set-up or "straight line."

Sorry to only leave you with 1 hour or so for punchlines.

The Ravens logo isn't that great. Look the Falcons. The old logo and uniform was awesome. The new uniforms are god-ugly , and the logo was taken down about 3 levels.

Long time Cards fan here. Suicane, your logo rules. But it will never fly(rim shot).

I always though they should just snarl up the corner of the beak a little, showing some teeth.

Actually, If they were still in St. Louis I would of dug a cool baby blue addition to their unis, such as this http://home.comcast.net/~iflcardinals/Uniforms.jpg

But come to think of it, it's Arizona, so who really gives a good god damn.

"It's got to be something tough," said renowned artist Todd McFarlane, creator of Spawn. "If Toronto can make a blue jay look tough and Baltimore can make an oriole look tough, then, damn it, we can make a cardinal look tough."
If they're using the Blue Jays as an example of a succesful logo transfer, they're screwed.

The old Blue Jay had history. The new one looks like every minor league logo in the world. Fans hate it.

This makes 3 years a in row that one of my favorite uniforms gets ruined. Seattle, Atlanta, and now Arizona.

Actually, I've grown to kind of like Atlanta's, but the change to Seattle was horrible.

sovereignstar

01-28-2005, 07:54 AM

It seems to me all they did was take the old bird, shit in it's Wheaties, and got a picture of it kinda pissed off about having a dump in his cereal. Todd MacFarlane sure added a lot to that logo. That's the most impressive turnaround since Duchamp painted a mustache on the Mona Lisa.

Todd MacFarlane had nothing to do with the new logo as far as I can see. He did offer his own rendition, but they didn't go with it.

Thomkal

01-28-2005, 08:01 AM

I like McFarlane's logo better actually, though not on the black helmet. As a fan of my beloved Cardinals (I'm in a 12-step program right now), its nice to see they are trying to "improve" the overall image of the team, but I'd rather they concentrate their efforts on getting better players. That will improve the image a lot quicker given the joke they have been since moving to Arizona.

Must admit to not reading the article word for word. Considering what they came up with, maybe they should have gone with MacFarlane.

Now the Cards have an angry logo. The Seahawks did the same. Thought they needed a more intense face on the logo.

Next the Cowboys will have a burning star.

Franklinnoble

01-28-2005, 11:26 AM

Bah. This sucks.

The Bidwells should have changed the mascot when they got to Arizona. The new stadium was the perfect opportunity to correct that error and overhaul the team's image to something their local fans can relate to and call their own.

Instead, they hang on to that stupid name. They just don't get it.

I blame the Arizona voters and politicians who have rewarded their stupidity and ineptitude with a state-of-the-art football stadium.

korme

01-28-2005, 12:11 PM

It's good that they didn't make a huge change - subtle is good, because it reduces the likelihood of a new crap logo.

That said, the Cards are the one team in the league who could use a uniform proverbial facelift. But it doesn't have to be extreme - throw some stripes on the sleeve or something. Don't over do it.

korme

01-28-2005, 12:13 PM

I can see this for Madden 2006 already.

"Has your team had nothing but losing seasons? Now you can do things to change the overall demeanor of your franchise. Things like changing your logo to something similar, but with a meaner look......having your owener shave his head and put on muscle so he looks meaner....."
