The NBA Playoffs are Here, Do You Care?
The NBA Playoffs are here, and if you’re team isn’t among the sixteen, you probably aren’t too invested. Sure, you’ll watch the last five minutes of a few first round games, you’ll catch the highlights on SportsCenter, but overall you’ll function as a casual fan. Perhaps you occupy the space between fringe playoff spectator and full-on playoff junkie. If this is the case, you’ll find yourself searching for small stories and tidbits that can carry your interest to the Finals. Will Lob City or Memphis take the next step? What becomes of the Kobe-less Lakers? Is San Antonio finally too old to last? Can the Knicks return to dominance in the East? Then, of course, there’s the ever-present band wagon that all basketball fans can jump on at any time: not who to root for but against.
For the past few years, the team of the viewer’s ire has been the Miami Heat. Ever since the “Big Three” got together and promised multiple championships, they’ve had their haters. That group may have gone underground for a while following 2012’s championship run, but there still around, just waiting for the chance to pop up again. As we all know, the Heat (Lebron) did this to themselves. They made sure that one championship wouldn’t be good enough. After all, if King James hadn’t promised upward of half a dozen rings, wouldn’t they have already fallen into place with the great teams of history? Be great for a long time, just win one championship, and you’ve got your spot in antiquity. That wasn’t good enough for a sound bite back in 2010. However misguided or immature, one title and a boatload of wins wasn’t good enough for Lebron and company for that fleeting moment.
The Heat will be scrutinized through every step of the playoffs. Through every nail-biting win, tough loss, and questionable call the Haters will be looking to point, and the Heat will be driven by it. Miami will be driven to blow past every opponent, through every game on their way to a second trophy. Here’s the rub: the Heat don’t have to go 12-0 on their way to the Finals. If it takes the full twenty-eight games to get the “Heatles” another ring, it won’t matter. All they have to do is win it all, and no one will remember what happened in the preceding three rounds. Easier said than done, of course, but this message isn’t for Miami, it’s for the rest of us. For those who want to scratch the back of every coach and team that blocks a Lebron shot in the 4th quarter, save your breath. Save it for the Finals, when it really matters. If the Heat don’t get there, you’ll know when the climax is coming, and you’ll know when to pounce. Odds are Miami will endure a typical “great team” run and be matched against a worthy opponent. Put your eggs in the West’s basket and hope they hatch in June. Next year no one will remember what happened in April, so set your sights on summer.
Summer is just around the corner and so is summer attire. Prep yourself for the epic heat of the coming months with a t-shirt that speaks volumes. Awesome Sports Logos has a large collection of great fitting, great feeling t-shirts that will make you the center of attention. Browse through our collection that’s as deep as the Denver Nuggets bench. We spent a lot of time discussing Miami in this blog. Here are our awesome Florida t-shirts – The Dade City Kumquats and The Boca Raton Cougars.

Baseball Players are Not Getting the Message. Its Time to Get Tougher
If your child continues to disobey you, do you continue with the same punishment? That’s how I feel with the news in the Miami New Times that Alex Rodriguez was one of several players who were clients of a Miami anti-aging clinic that distributed performance enhancing drugs that are banned by Major League Baseball.
Are we surprised? Of course we aren’t. Also on the list for this clinic reportedly are Gio Gonzalez of the Washington Nationals who almost won the Cy Young, Melky Cabrera who was having an MVP season until being suspended for PED’s. That’s the same Melky Cabrera who won the All Star game for the National League and gave his Giants the home field advantage in the World Series. Then there is Bartolo Colon who gave us that “I feel bad” emotion when you see an athlete that just doesn’t have it but continues to play. All of a sudden he found the fountain of youth and had his best season since 2005. Nelson Cruz who at one point could never make it past Triple A and then suddenly, “found his swing” to become one of the Rangers best sluggers made the list as well.
The list of baseball players and athletes is a laundry list of who’s who. If I suspended you for 50 days without pay for work but you were already making $25 million per year, you wouldn’t go hungry would you? That to me seems like a good investment. I’m going to give you 25 million per year but then you’ll have to give back 8.25 million. I’m no mathematician but I believe that’s 16.75 million on the plus side. Remember, this is the same league that still feels as though the actions of Pete Rose betting on his own team are so reprehensible that the all-time hit leader needs to buy a ticket to get into Cooperstown. So the lesson is, take growth hormones early, get as much money as you can and if you get caught, just give some money back to the club that has paid you millions?
Don’t throw out the argument of, “Well steroids and HGH should be legal, who cares?” That is an entirely different debate and at this point, I’ll side with you. As of now, there are rules in place and if you want to slow down the use, then baseball needs to toughen up. If I was the Commish and you get caught I would ban you for a minimum of two years. If you get caught again, you are banned for life. Think the MLB Players Association will go for it? Of course they won’t. It’s not about the integrity of the game anymore it’s about the money pure and simple. While you may call him A-Fraud, he’s living the life that we all dream of. He cheated to the tune of millions and while we are mentioning that famous word in baseball, “integrity”, he’s being fed grapes. Two years is a long time to sit at home. That message will resonate loud and clear throughout clubhouses. It’s time to get tough MLB and say enough is enough. You owe it to players like Hank Aaron and even the “Hit King” Pete Rose. At least their stats aren’t tainted.

Breaking Down the Presidential Swing States from a T-shirt Perspective
Breaking Down the Presidential Swing States from a T-shirt Perspective
I write this on the evening of the final Presidential Debate. This is clearly a biased opinion but this debate would be a lot cooler if the former Governor of Massachusetts was wearing a Boston Accents T-shirt and the President was sporting a Cocksville Blockers awesome t-shirt. Now we’re talking! Okay, I’m awake from my dream now. We don’t get political here, we just want to have fun but there are some key swing states that will ultimately decide this upcoming presidential election. Many of those swing states share a common theme and that’s the coolest t-shirts out there from Awesome Sports Logos!
Florida
We still need to get to that “Florida Hangin’ Chads” t-shirt but for now we offer two funny t-shirts.


I think we might have to hit the Kumquat festival in Dade City this January to sell some of these t-shirts. I love the name and everything about this logo.
How sweet would it have been to see one of the candidates riding the streets of Decorah on a float sporting this funny t-shirt for the yearly Nordic Fest? We wanted to create a logo that depicted this awesome event and a troll playing baseball and using his club instead of a bat really fit what we were looking for. Similar to Dade City, I can’t wait to take Awesome Sports Logos on the road to Decorah!
Nevada

I will never understand why a pro sports team didn’t use this. I had one person tell me that Snake Eyes are bad luck when you gamble. Yes, it’s the t-shirt that’s making you lose all of your money and building those gorgeous buildings.
Ohio


We left out swing states Colorado, New Hampshire and Wisconsin because we haven’t had enough time to come up with some cool t-shirt names in these states. Give us time people, we’ll get there soon. So, if you’re asking for my political opinion or who’s going to win, I plead the 5th. Some may read this expecting a serious article on swing states. My reply, this is serious, we’re talking t-shirts here. Let’s be honest, if you told the candidates instead of suits they could only wear their favorite t-shirt that would show a lot wouldn’t it? A little more than a blue tie or a red tie, that’s for sure.
As always, thanks for reading. You guys rock and I appreciate all of the love and support for Awesome Sports Logos.
Sincerely,

We Need More Fruit in Sports Logos
By Gavin Spittle
Growing up, we’ve all been hammered to “eat our fruits and vegetables” so now although I don’t act like a grown up, my age says otherwise so I’m calling on our future generation to add more fruits to sports logos!
My opinion was formed when my crack research team told me that fruit logos are nowhere to be found. By crack research team, I mean me and Google. Fruit has amazing health properties but I bring you the following for amazing sports logo possibilities.
The Dade City Kumquats. A Kumquat is in the citrus family and basically is a small orange. Every January, Dade City hosts a Kumquat festival celebrating the mighty fruit. We celebrate it in the form of this funny t-shirt.



The Tincaps are the Class A club of the San Diego Padres. They were renamed the Tincaps in 2008 because the legendary Johnny Appleseed lived in Fort Wayne and is buried in this city.
The Syracuse Orange
This University has produced a lot of athletes over the years. I didn’t like when they changed their name from the Orangemen to the Orange but at least they kept this citrus fruit in the logo.
C’mon, that can’t be all? There are more corn logos in minor league baseball than fruit overall. This is one of our favorites, the Normal Cornbelters.

If you guys find any fruit logos, reach out to me at gavin@awesomesportslogos.com. Don’t forget to check out our website www.awesomesportslogos.com for that Dade City Kumquats or Idaho Taters super soft awesome t-shirt. If you buy 3, you get the 4th shirt free. Just type in the short code 3THENFREE. Stay awesome my friends.
