Despite the stellar inaugural season the NHL expansion Vegas Golden Knights are throwing down, a dark cloud threatens to tarnish the shine of their branding armor.
Pray Ball!
This logo announcing a charity softball game for priests from rival dioceses adds a touch of offbeat SBJ Friday Fun.
Court Appearance
Ohio State is asking fans to help decide what the Buckeye basketball court will look like next season. A great idea in theory, but in this case achieving the best result isn’t necessarily going to be a slam dunk.
Tragic Hero.
Roberto Clemente is a baseball legend and a humanitarian who lost his life in the service of others. But he also left behind lasting images of a baseball Adonis, who for over a decade, wore what I think just might be the finest major league uniform ever.
