And we still see that play out all over the place. The jersey designs are well below average, even when it would be oh so easy to create something really amazing. Their banners are awful. Every thing they do from a design POV is really poor in my view.
Such a shame. They have fantastic logo to work with IMO.

Like his moves or not, they hired a GM who certainly appears to be a thinker and risk taker. Sounds like the business side of the house could use someone similar.
