Good Design

[Kevy Baby]

On the redesign issues, some of those are legitimate beefs and some are whiney designers. I'm dealing with a customer right now on some design issues that the company founder is giving his feedback on. He keeps wanting this one line of type smaller and smaller. We finally had to point put that they are looking at is an enlarged version of the logo and when you view it at the expected size, the copy is completely illegible (I think it was equivalent to 2 point).

Design by committee is always dangerous.

When I was at the Nationals game last week and I realized something. All those people wearing player jerseys... They are Cos Playing.

I agree, which is why I've attended 100 baseball games and never been seen wearing a jersey. I even have this scale:

Microdouche: Wearing a team jersey at the opponent's stadium
Decidouche: Wearing a team jersey at the home stadium
Douche: Wearing a team jersey when not at a game
Kilodouche: Wearing a team jersey during the off season
Megadouche: Wearing a team jersey during the off season outside of the team's home territory

Seriously, I am so constantly sitting in judgment of people it is amazing I have a job.

Where on the scale is going to the stadium wearing a team jersey that's not from either team playing? (I'm looking at you Yankees fans)

Petadouche

Maxes out at Yottadouche and that would be someone wearing an Indians jersey while saying "What!? How could anybody find our logo offensive?", anybody wearing any jersey while doing a tomahawk chop, or the Redskins fans who answered a poll recently saying they thought Redskin was the appropriate way to refer to Native Americans.

And when you see one of these people you ar morally required to point at them and say in your best Yakov Smirnoff impersonation: "that's a whole yottadouche!"

I don't think wearing a baseball team's jersey or cap qualifies as Cos Playing because you're not pretending to be a character. I think that's true even if the jersey has a particular player's name or number on it. The baseball fandom is more team loyalty driven. Wearing a jersey is just like waving a flag.

Football, basketball, soccer, the thing on the ice that used to matter: they're all more superstar driven, so I can see a Cos Play element in jersey wearing with those sports. I would add that baseball is more of a regular guy sort of sport. The superstars don't come of as having super powers. I could wear a Pablo Sandoval jersey without feeling as gosh darn ridiculous--not to mention a little gay--as I would if I wore a Colin Kaepernick jersey.
