San Diego's Logo Should be ILLEGAL

[Dtayl 104]

We all know the San Diego Marlins, currently one of the bottom teams in the VHLM. Rather discuss the teams performance today, I'd like to draw attention to the team's logo and namesake for that matter. Let me just outright say, it should all be illegal, for a number of reasons. Firstly, the logo looks ugly in my opinion. Also why is a team on the west coast called the Marlins? Marlins are most notable for their sub species in the Atlantic ocean, San Diego is on the opposite side of the country from that ocean. Next, and the main reason why the team's logo/namesake should be illegal is that a pro baseball team already exists with that name. The Miami Marlins who have been around for much longer than San Diego as a sports team. What really makes the case for the illegality of the SDM logo is it's similarities with the Miami Marlin's logo. Case and point:

These two logo's are incredibly similar, certainly a case can be made for copyright infringement making the SDM logo illegal. Both logo's feature a marlin in the same position with the name if the city/team just in front of the fish. However, the case against the SDM logo gets even stronger when compared to the Miami Marlin's previous logo which they used before their re-brand. 

 

It's almost as if whoever created the SDM logo used the Florida/Miami Marlins logo as a reference and made only slight changes. The two logo's feature almost identical marlins being wrapped around their team identifiers. A change needs to be made to the SDM logo, as it is pretty clearly a rip-off of the MLB teams logo.

The real question here is who gives a damn about the Florida/Miami Marlins, cause zero of their owners have.

 

Good fun different read!

Dark green team doesn't have a huge say in this sort of thing actually. Can bring it up in board though

I'm aware it should be "Case in point" but for some reason my brain refuses to accept that

Lmaooo. It's true that Striped Marlin are delicious (and in the Pacific) but when most people think of Marlin, they think of the Atlantic blue

I mean, we can also talk about how the Ottawa Lynx are a former minor-league baseball team: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottawa_Lynx
