I hate it when a clever idea doesn't pan out.

There's really not a lot to say about this logo. It's basically a BIC with the team name in the circle and a horse in silhouette overlaid on the baseball. A standard, boring logo. But then I had a flash of inspiration: I would compare the horse silhouette to the iconic "Mudflap Girl" (come on, it's not that big a stretch and you know it), and then go off on a tangent about the history of Mudflap Girl. That could be kind of interesting and also pad out the word count. But there's no agreement on the history of Mudflap Girl. The stuff I found online couldn't agree on who came up with the design, who the design is based on (claimed inspirations run the gamut from various strippers to the designer's mother, the latter of which is too Freudian to contemplate), or even whether the image is trademarked.

And the truly damnedable thing about it is that this is the only clever idea I can come up with for this logo, and that's assuming this is even a clever idea. I don't know if that's because there's truly nothing else to talk about or simply because I'm feeling uninspired right now, but either way, I got nothing.
