Apparently basketball is a very different game when you play in Colorado. That looks dangerous.
Terrible Sports Logos, Team Logos and Mascots
Take me out to the ballgame, take me out to the crowd. Buy me some…pea…oh God…I don’t feel so good. I think I’m going to be….BLEARRGHGHGHGHG.
The 2011 US Figure Skating Championships logo was submitted by Barfer Susan.
I wouldn’t have thought two thinks about it, except that Susan pointed out that the Wright Brother’s airplane is flying backwards.
Oops.

Rio’s 2016 Olympic committee revealed their logo last week, and we sure heard about it from Barfers. “Looks like a thong”, they said. “Looks like a penis,” they said. “Gradients!” they said.
“Sure,” we said. “But we have loads of logos that look like Accidental Genitals.”
And then Barfer Kristin sent this article our way, detailing the charges against Rio’s design team that they plagiarized the logo of Colorado’s Telluride Founation:
Which is really interesting. There are certainly similarities between the Telluride logo and Rio’s logo, but if you could look into our folders and see the collection of Empowered Star Shaped Stick Figures we have saved up, you’d see that both logos are victims of lazy, unimaginative design committees.

Barfer Eric (and a few Twitter followers) made sure that we saw the new Big Ten logo, released today.
It seems like rebrands are as likely to go wrong as they are to go right. What do y’all think about the Big Ten redesign?

We’ve noticed yet another barfy logo trend. Ah, the charity/company/otherwise organized 5K. Pay a little cash, get a little exercise, maybe even score a free t-shirt! Well, if you hit up any of these barfy 5K’s, pass on the tee. You don’t want to be seen in public like that.
Crutches: You’re doing it wrong.
This is an especially difficult 5K, a run BY spaghetti FOR spaghetti. Due to the required meatball headwear, it’s generally difficult to see… albeit DELICIOUS. Good luck.
Man, it’s one of those days that I’ve eaten so much sugar that I start to see mind-numbingly-scary anthropomorphic hands running around again. I better get some exercise.
Are YOU a horse butt? Have we got the opportunity for you!
I’ve never actually seen a shamrock with knees before. Someone tell him he’s about to run smack into those festive words in a circle.
We run as one…. scary, blobbish, misformed chalk outline.
