Yeah, that new 'Ducks' logo is bland and crappy (and what does that sideways shield have to do with ducks, anyway?). While not a hockey fan, the 'Mighty Ducks' Donald Duck-ish hockey mask was probably the most memorable sports logo since the Cleveland Indians' controversial caricature. The surly cartoon motif spoke to kids (simultaneously emptying their folks' wallets), while successfully bringing about that odd amalgam of tough-guy posturing and appropriated toon imagery that rarely seems to work out normally, aesthetically (Calvin from 'Calvin & Hobbes' fame pissing on various automotive logos, for instance).
Re: Katty McPhee
Barfing seven times a week? That's impressive.
I used to chuck my cookies every Tuesday and Wednesday at 8 pm on Fox.
I think the Mighty Ducks was a stupid name all along - it was a lame Disney movie! come on! Also, you spelled "etc" wrong.
