Apologies if you've covered this somewhere else. Love the blog. So is the Riddell name/logo that’s appeared on most NFL helmets forever the exception that proves the rule?

I suppose I can deal with the RBK logo on the back of the neck in the NHL, though I preferred the CCM on the back of the hem. CCM says hockey to me, RBK doesn't. I don't really mind a logo on fan apparel. If I like the way a shirt looks with my team logo and a swoosh on it, it's ok by me. Not that it belongs together, but I don't think a corporate logo always ruins team apparel. I agree about pro jerseys – they should be left alone.

The point I made was that I think the logo thing is really annoying once you start noticing it. Being a younger person, 25, I've been used to having logos on my replica jerseys. But now that I am paying attention it's not something I enjoy. I also wanted to point out that in the cfl teams wear ads on their jerseys (</a> Rona anyone) and some of the stadiums have sold naming rights. I also noticed that my CCM Canucks replica has a logo on the back of the neck, so if I had true hockey hair you wo uldn't be able to see it.
