Diamondback Logo
I don't know why I love corporate logos as much as I do, it's kind of weird. At least this logo change is baseball-related, even if it's only the National League.

(Oh snap!)


The Arizona Diamondbacks have updated their logo with a new color scheme. Yes, after nine long years it's time for a change. Can you imagine having the same boring logo for almost a whole decade? Goodness. Those poor fans in Arizona.

But in all seriousness, the purple and turquoise color scheme was pretty tacky. They're replaced it with a more desert-esque red, tan and black. Er, sorry ... "Sedona Red", "Sonoran Sand" and, well, "black".

The team has also done away with the uniform pinstripes and the sleeveless 'vest' look, bringing the fashion into the 21st century. Or at least out of the 1970s.



Oh, who am I kidding, I can't stay mad at the D'Backs. They're just so cute and harmless! It's fun watching the National League because it's kind of like watching Little League. You're happy if nobody gets hurt, and it doesn't matter who wins or loses, you know that the coach is buying each player an ice cream after the game.

And yes, I'm well aware that the D'Backs won the 2001 World Series, their fourth season of existence. But where did Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling, their two MVP players, go? The American League.

Seriously though who picks two World Series MVPs? You might as well just say "The whole team is our MVP! Each and every one of you! Yay Team!"

Ugh.
