Dr. Freud, Call Your Office

Alert folks over at Deadspin point out that the boys down in marketing at the new Winston-Salem Dash baseball organization may have inadvertently dug up some repressed issues during their Monday morning brainstorming sessions.
The team used to be called The Warthogs and, in hindsight, what's really wrong with that name? In the relentless trudge of progress, the team was re-branded "Dash", whatever that hell that means. Of course, uniforms, hats, and all the souvenir trinkets required a fresh look. While designing the new logo for the team, the graphics department was apparently also wrestling with their own tortured monsters from the Land of Id.
Look for them to come hard and fast ...
Wow. We might have known. All the warning signs were there. In a game that features ball boys, foul tips, sliders in the dirt, two balls and no strikes, pitchers and catchers, and sliding head-first into home, this logo was just a foregone conclusion.

Sometimes a logo is just a logo.

Are you saying that logo looks like a penis? What else looks like a penis to you? Water? Mail? Tires? OK, I admit George Foreman looks like a penis (George Foreskin). And UPS trucks. But do you really think a big sack of rice looks like a penis? The third verse of Watching the Detectives? New mown hay? A dolphin? Why do you want to have sex with a dolphin?
Too bad they don't sell boxer shorts.
