This may be the most important week in the history of my beloved 0-0 Lions. For last the week they had to prove that they haven't been sitting on their hands (paws?) all during the offseason, and provide a comprehensive plan for their NOT being the worst football team in the history of everything.
They started things off with a brand-spanking new logo, a logo that clearly defined the Lion's new vision and purpose, a logo that made fans like me forget about recent troubles, a logo that looked nothing...like...the last...*sigh*
I think the Lions dropped the logo ball on this one. While I'm sure that several hundred thousand dollars were spent on it's design and conception, in the end the new logo and the old logo just looks like the subject of one of those Sesame Street "One of these things is not like the other" skits. It's like somebody just took the old logo and put random streaks of white-out on it.
But hey, at least this explain why the hell the Lions were sitting on their freaking hands during the freaking free agency period...
I personally don't think the old Lion needed a redo, that logo had carried us through decades of suck. And if they had to change the logo, I wouldn't have done what they did with all of those fierce...stripes.
So what if the lion on the logo doesn't have eyes? You don't need eyes to make a good logo, nor do you need waves in the mane and fur and more pronouned claws. I say that if you wanted a to make a fierce, manly type of NFL logo, you slap a big penis on that leaping lion, and some hubcap-sized nuts to go with it. Becuase nothing says FIERCE like a lion-sized meatstick. I want a "Ghost in the Darkness" lion on my logo, not thay pussy cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz.
Filed under something new I learned today was the fact that the logo was of a "leaping" lion. Now that I look at it I guess it makes sense. But the philisophical side of me has a couple of questions. Is the Lion leaping to or away from something?
No, I think a better choice for the Lions logo would have been something like a Lion running out of the back of the endzone for a safety, the Lion ripping Matt Millen's throat out, or maybe just Matt Millen's head on a stick...
