It’s sad that 2 minutes on Photoshop produces a better result than 6-8 months of planning by a professional design firm. Where were you BEFORE they designed this trainwreck? And did you design the D? Monday morning QB designer? T. I’m the one that did up that “D” logo jersey,(WHO CARES) although I imagine that a lot of people were thinking the same thing beforehand.

Man that logo is the pits. I have preached to all the beloved Creamite "wannabees" that hcokey jerseys should only have crests (like the partial duck foot) but alas those geniuses think differently. So again it goes...O'Grady shoots and scores. T 1 Wannabees 0. Mighty Yucks. Man that logo is the pits.
