For a team that plays in a dome with a fixed roof, I just don’t get why the new logo has sunrays all over it. On that note, I really liked their previous black & green style. Green isn’t used enough in pro sports uniforms anymore.

Green in Pro Sports:
MLB: Oakland A’s
NBA: Sonics, Celtics
NFL: Packers, Jets, Eagles
NHL: Wild, Stars

So long Devil Rays

If you want to wear green and look good, I guess you need to have good secondary colors, too

You forgot the Vancouver Canucks. They probably have the best hue of green than anyone else.

I actually emailed them months ago warning them not to change the name to Rays. They have been brutal since they came into the league, why not make a clean break from the past and go with a totally new name? And if anyone saw the St Pete Saints and Tampa Tarpons uniforms they wore in the past 2 years, you know they can make wonderful uniforms. So I'd like to say a big f*ck you to Saul Steinberg & Co.
