1. New Python best Python. I'm sorry if you have a bad perspective on it, but the new logo is so much cooler and more meaningful and representative. I didn't want it to be such a polarizing thing in the league, but here we are, don't worry about sharing your opinion on it whatever it is, I can take it. We've got one of the coolest brands in the team now, and I still have plenty of "style."
2. I've heard a lot of people continue to talk about the money pot for the Portland contest, so I'll continue to say this: Portland as a team had no control over the pot for the contest. If I HO or the rules would have allowed me, I'd have paid $40+ million out of my own account for the contest, but that just wasn't allowed.
3. We took the white, orange, and green team first, step the hell off buddy.
Anyways, I knew that not everyone was going to love whatever new branding we came out with but hey, I won't be in this league forever, so hopefully whoever comes after me can fix most of my fuck-ups. Keep the heat coming.
This feels like an aggressive response, and that's not the avenue i want to take with it. Let's clear up a few things that I should've said better on the pod, but i didn't.
1. I took a longer look at everything, and I'll say that the issue i have isn't with your meaningfulness. The 4 pointed logo/compass is awesome, and it means something for the city. My issue is only with the python itself. It just looks "incomplete". It's simply because the snake is just white. I mean, you have the Python "green" as the outline, what does it look like flipped? And even if you wanted a white snake (HERE I GO AGAIN ON MY OWNNN), pythons have such cool markings that you could've had incorporated those to make it pop a little more. Maybe you tried that it looked like shit, i dont know. But from someone who wasn't directly involved in the process (97% of the league), it looks like the logo wasn't like, finished. Which is where it looks like soft serve vanilla ice cream. I was a Python before i was anything else in this league, so i'm not shitting on you just to do it. It's just because i really revere this franchise i want the best for it. I'll hopefully be wearing this logo in about 4-5 seasons.
2. To be honest, i didn't know there was a money pot for you guys. I didn't even know there was a Portland contest, because my life has been so busy. What I was referring to was that I personally wanted to do this like a season and half ago for Austin, and it's still on the To Do board in the war room. I hear you, i wish you could've gave out the 40 million too. Logos are a BIG DEAL and deserve to be treated as such.
3. So mad about it, but i don't think i'd use the orange anyway if i went Jade/White or Silver. it's a good look. But luckily, you're just a DSFL team, so the big league teams can do whatever they want :-D lolol.
Anyway, i'm sorry if you were real life mad about anything, i didn't want to piss you off directly.
