We got another one boys!
So the spanish federation just updated their logo and if you thought MLS rebrands were bad....
old - new
old - new
Where's the bulleted list describing the numerous Spanish influences on the new logo?
Complete over-compensation with the redesign.
- It's too busy and looks like it was drawn by a 7-year old.
- Here ya go.
In the same vein of the USSF change. I just hope Spain doesn't change the crest on their kits.
Not the worst, but it just looks like they downgraded/simplified the crest. Also, the lovely new RFEF circle makes an appearance! Unfortunately, I feel too many clubs have gone with an overly simplified logo as a means to try and look modern. I have a feeling there's going to be a big change in crests soon to becoming chaotic again as a means to get off this path of simplicity/boredom.
Or maybe I'm just hoping that not every new crest is just a circle with "City/location" on top and "football club" on the bottom...
(FYI, I think Man City, Miami, and Toulouse would've been great crests if they just used their shield as the whole crest, no outer rim)
Images from this Twitter thread:
I actually like the circular formations... I just think they need to be executed correctly.
OK, this is possibly the craziest sports thing I've ever seen.
Here's my understanding of things:
Here's my understanding of things:
- batter hits ball to the top of the fence
- fielder leaps, catches it on the way up, glove hits fence on the way down, ball pops out of glove and goes over the fence. So home run.
- runner sees fielder catch the ball, starts running back to second and then to first
- batter is running around the bases, sees runner pass him on the way back to first, so stops and tries to get the runner's attention
- runner touches first base, which makes the batter out (because *the batter* passed the runner!)
End result: runner who went back first scores, batter is credited with a single, an RBI, and is out
- LOL

Everything has happened before. You want weird and unusual?
1959. Harvey Haddix of the Pirates pitches 12 innings of perfect baseball, with nobody from the Milwaukee Braves reaching base. But the Pirates don't score either. Finally a Brave reaches base on a fielding error in the bottom of the 13th inning. Haddix still has a no-hitter. A sacrifice bunt moves the runner to second, so the Pirates walk Hank Aaron. The next batter Joe Adcock hits an apparent home run, but Aaron doesn't see it clear the fence so after the first runner scores he heads to the dugout. Adcock continues around the bases. It took a few days to sort it out, but it was determined that by rule, because Adcock passed Aaron, he was deemed out but credited with a double because he passed Aaron between Second and Third.

Under the rules in effect in 1959, any game in which a pitcher went more than 9 full innings with no hits was deemed a no hitter even if he gave up a hit in extra innings. In 1991 that was retroactively changed, so Harvey Haddix pitched probably the best game in history, lost, and then had his record removed more than 30 years after he retired. And the should-have-been home run that finally broke his no-hitter was by itself so unusual that it was, I think, the last time a guy lost a home run for overtaking someone on the bases until today.
