Great Graphics

Click this link to look at the little graphic MLB.com uses to represent interleague play. Go ahead, I’ll wait.

Battling eagles. It looks like something you’d expect to see on the Daily Show or at the Onion or something.

The blue eagle uses more strategy, the red eagle just tries to hit you hard.

They’ve had this cute logo since interleague’s inception.  I guess they thought it was ‘teh awesome in perpetuity’ in 1997.

It looks like eagles playing dodgeball.  I always thought eagles were more kickball players, but I guess I was wrong.

Shouldn’t the AL eagle be pecking the eyes outta the rotting carcass of the NL eagle?

Looks like they fused Stephen Colbert’s eagle with his “Formidable Opponent” segment.

I’ve always kind of liked it, actually, ‘cause the second baseball game I ever went to was one of the first interleague games (St. Louis at Milwaukee, 1997, the Brewers’ last year in the AL), and that logo was on the program I got, so it always brings me back whenever I see it.  I feel like when we like a particular logo or design, it’s usually half-nostalgia.
