In hockey, we have teams named for jackets. There's not a lot of them, but you have or once had the Dayton Bombers, the Daytona Beach Breakers (okay, so the jacket is usually called a windbreaker, but cut me some slack here, okay?), the Pittsburgh Yellow Jackets, and, of course, this team. If you stretch things to include anything worn on the torso, then the tradition dates all the way back to 1912, when the Toronto Blueshirts took to the ice.

But the socks thing makes more sense, because baseball players really do wear socks. I've never seen a hockey team that wore a blazer. Even during the days of the Philadelphia Flyers wearing their Sunday-best black slacks, there were no blazers involved. So why do we have a team named after them?

The logo is just as awful if you ask me. I understand that it's supposed to look like a puck that's on fire. But that's not what this thing looks like. Everything I look at this logo, all I can think of is that damn comet puck that Fox tried to foist on us several years back. This is not something that ought to be memorialized. It is, as far as I'm concerned, one of the darkest moments in hockey history. It belongs on a logo about as much as a bottle of anabolic steroids belongs in a baseball team's logo. About as much as Janet Jackson's right boob deserves to be -- wait, that does deserve to be memorialized.

The current logo is an update of the logo the Blazers used when they first formed. Depending on how generous you care to be, you can say that they either drew it better, or made it look more like the custom paint job a redneck would put on his Ford Mustang. I'll leave it to you to decide which is the more accurate way to look at it.
