Cartoon Bird is BACK

[Pedro Cerrano]

Why do "wanting a new hat" and "wanting to win" have to be mutually exclusive? Can't we be happy that our uniforms will look more bad-ass next season?

Let the 2012 pennant celebration begin!

You know how Tampa Bay became a playoff team as soon as they dropped the "Devil" from their name? Maybe this could have the same effect for the Orioles. :thumbsup1:

Oh, and please don't tell me it had more to do with Tampa Bay actually having talent that blossomed at the right time. I prefer to live with the fantasy notion that it had to do with the name change!

I don't know about "bad ass" since cartoon birds aren't bad ass. But cooler, yes. I am happy about this and I am as cynical about the Orioles as anyone can be right now.

We have to give rep to DuffMan as well. He was the first to this story in July

I would like to see a winning season, but some people would love to see a cartoon.

I noticed your location. Are you a war criminal?

No, just a Sun forum poster who's been forced over here after the paywall.

Wait, so Cal Ripken is stuck in a comatose hobo's body?

You didn't answer his question :wedge:

Close enough.

I am very happy. I am excited about the tweak, hopefully they don't screw it up.

Make the bird have a mean side. A smiling cartoon is retro and better than what we have...but it's still a smiling cartoon bird

[IHeartMASN]

I can't wait to see it. More importantly, I can't wait to wear it!

O's hat is a big seller in certain communities, not surprised to see it stay.
