Ping: Under The Radar: May 2006 Archives

Speaking of terrible names and terrible logos, yesterday also saw another team expansion announcement, this one from the NLL (that's the National Lacrosse League, remember?) announcing the arrival of the Chicago Shamrox.

I repeat:

Chicago Shamrox.

OK, here's the thing, NLL; the letter X was edgy for like 2 minutes in the mid-90's. Yeah, we get that the sport is laCROSSe, and the sticks, they cross sometimes, like an... uh... X. Very clever. But please, for the love of god.

Stop it.

Just ... please. I can't take it any more.

UPDATE: Somehow, I managed to miss this wonderful speciment, though:

that's Toronto's CN Tower, playing the guitar. I guess the team has changed the logo since, but can anything top that? No, I didn't think so.
