Shea It Ain't So!

From J Soul (My Personal Blog):

Last night, I finally got a look at the new logo for CitiField (The new stadium for the New York Mets opening in 2009). Before I make any obscene gestures, let me say that I was really disappointed when I saw the logo. The only way to logo relates to the Mets, in my own opinion, is the orange and blue color scheme. Other than that, it looks pretty terrible. Can anyone tell me who created the logo? Who do I have to hunt down and yell at? Now, while I made some obscene gestures at my computer screen, make your own gestures at the logo of the new stadium of the New York Mets.

Isn’t it lovely?… (Insert groans and whines here)

You know, it reminds me of another logo that I see all over the place… hmm… what could it be… Maybe it’s a ticket stub? Maybe it’s a Domino?… Wait! A domino! That’s why it looks like…

I'll have an order of Johan Kickers!

I’m proud to be a Mets fan, but I’m certainly no fan of Citifield… yet.
I’m gonna miss Shea Stadium...

I agree, who ever designed this thing, and whoever thought it was a good design needs their head examined

Is this the same guy who designed the London Olympics logo.

Don't the Mets have one more year at Shea Stadium?

If it's Citifield, then maybe it's been Sheastadium all along?

Or if it is indeed Shea Stadium... then it might make sense that it's actually Citi Field?

Hmm...
