Season's Greetings

It's spring, which means it's time to work in the garden, eat sweet gherkins and think about baseball logos.

For this reason I caught up with the pre-season Uniwatch column, where Paul Lukas alerted readers to the change in the Orioles' bird design. If you'll notice, the bird is no longer at rest. His breast is trimmer, He's leaning forward, his tail is lifted and he's ready for flight. The simple peaceful bird that I've grown attached to (despite being a Blue Jays fan) is taking off.

This is a slippery slope, Baltimore fans. Complain now!

Before you know it, your sweet bird:
could suffer identity issues:
grow a human arm:

and eventually look like he's going to break into your house and feast on your eyes while you're asleep:
I miss my old bird and yours, too.
