When it's good, it can be very good. Here's the Hartford Whalers logo from 1992-1997 (ice hockey). <img src="http://leslietanedesign.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/hartford_whalers_1996.gif" alt="Hartford Whalers logo" /> Isn't it fab? Excellent use of negative space to first define the H, then to define the whale tail. However, when it's bad, it can be horrid, and often is. Sports in general has a really specific design aesthetic.

But this is a funny story. I tend to drive Jim nuts by critiquing the outfits. Football is the one place besides Halloween where you see that much bright orange, and really, it is a color better left to the pumpkins. LT, I think your brother may be right.
