Thank God for Arthur Blank

The Arizona Cardinals had a press conference today, announcing that after having the same weak ass logo for the past 35 years, they were going to update it to a revolutionary new logo that would symbolize the new fierceness and energy of their (awful) franchise. This is what they came up with:



See? The old 'Mildly perturbed, yet stoic' Cardinal has been reinvented as Angry Cardinal! That's a birdish scowl if'n I ever saw one. I'm not sure why an NFL franchise would want an image that resembles Woody Woodpecker catching his girlfriend in bed with Heckle and Jeckle to represent their team, but hey, it's the Cardinals. Seriously though, why a press conference for that? That's not an earth shattering change, that's a minor tweak. Of course it does look a little better than Todd McFarlane's stab at it, although the 'Dear God, not this shit again' look actually does symbolize that franchise quite nicely.

It really would have been more interesting to just sneak the logo out there next year and see how many games it takes for anyone to catch on. "Hey! Someone pissed off the birdy!" Of course that won't sell more t-shirts.

At least Cardinals eat Eagles. Falcons too.
