then in all honesty perhaps you should move on to a place where you can be placed in a cocoon of isolation where you are safe from all opinions outside your own. Because I am DEEPLY offended that you don't see it as a positive symbol

geeez....what's gotten into people today???

MV, uc & elias asked people for their opinions. some people expressed their dislike of the fist, as it has been used in a negative way. it's also been used by aryan's expressing white power, for example.

now i really could care less what logo you guys choose. but the question was asked and some people, myself included, said they didn't like the symbolism of the fist.

Wow. Basically telling me GFY because I have had different life experiences than you that lead me to view the symbol differently from you.

Just wow. Not feeling so friendly here anymore.

then maybe people should spend time designing, work with and pay a graphic designer and present it here for a vote before the committee

and it was just as easy for you to discount combat experience where it was a meaningful gesture and you stating you couldn't accept it. Yet I am to accept your feelings on the matter and jump

Ah. That explains a lot. Perhaps before any funds were invested it might have made more sense to run the idea past the group for a while. As was done with name suggestions.

Don't understand where combat experience comes in, which I would never discount. But when it comes to choosing a symbol for a group I would think it would be more important to choose one that did not offend group members than to choose one that some found to be positive. After all, would you use a group symbol that contains a Confederate battle flag?

Why not instead of an oval, put the whole thing in the outline of a football?

i get it dude. You don't like it. Submit your proposal.

And what do you mean you don't get where my experience comes into it? Weren't you the one saying your "life experience" was a factor?

I meant literally that I had not seen it. If you mentioned it somewhere in the thread, I missed it.

But again, I think avoiding the negative is more important than selecting the positive, if it isn't positive for everyone, in choosing a group symbol.

And please let me add, thanks for your service.

All right guys. Something must be in the air today because none of us want to read each others posts or frankly give a crap what the other seems to say. That's not what the spirit of this thread was all about and now that it turned into this I truly regret it that we posted it. We obviously value what everyone says and agree with Jet Fan RI that everyone needs to like it but in an environment where everyone has an opinion it's impoossible for us all to agree on something.

I promise you this, we will consider everyone's thoughts and have a redesign. Not promising that the next design will be much different, if at all, but we will look at it from various perspectives. Since this thread has been a complete fail, I will not post our next designs. We will run with it and you'll see it unveiled at the top.

Again, not promising that it'll be much different because we do have a lot invested in this so my apologies if you are offended. Maybe it grows on you.

I hate being the odd man out here, but I really dislike the whole idea of the fist. Seems pretty offensive to me. I realize it is probably intended to indicate a willingness to fight for the team and all, but it doesn't look like a friendly sort of fight symbol that identifies different groups of Americans who want to play a game against each other. Rather, it looks more like a symbol intended to be genuinely hostile and threatening to true enemies who you would literally be willing to kill if they dared to even enter your neighborhood, let alone come too close to your property.


Sorry if you don't appreciate the feedback, but you did suggest we should not hold back.


What about, instead of the fist, a version of Joe Namaths hand waving the number one after winning the Super Bowl.
