This is especially thrilling because we are big fans of the work that Mr. Lukas does over at ESPN.com’s Page 2

Welcome to the show boys!… and girls of course!  Today, Juiced Sports has an article featured on ESPN.com’s Page 2 Uni Watch.  Being a huge fan of logos, jersey designs, and all things sports aesthetics this is a great thrill for us.

So what’s featured?  Mitch’s article on the original Baltimore Ravens logo, read it here.  Mitch’s article interestingly enough dates back to October 2007, but who cares right?  How many times can you say you’ve got a link on ESPN.com?  And we don’t care how big the World Wide Leader in Sports’ website is.  Being on there, even if we’re tucked away neatly in the 16th paragraph (yeah we counted, big whoop, want to fight about it?) is very very cool.

The excerpt here (the link to our page is in bold):

“Swint hasn’t yet hired a lawyer or decided whether to pursue litigation (he realizes his lack of documentation hurts whatever claim he might have). Either way, this isn’t the first time a fan has claimed that his unsolicited design submission was appropriated by a team. When the Baltimore Ravens unveiled their original helmet logo in 1996, a Maryland security guard named Frederick E. Bouchat claimed that the logo design was based on a drawing he had faxed to the team the previous year. A federal court later agreed (which is why the Ravens switched to this helmet logo in 1999), although Bouchat received no monetary damages.”

So yeah, so we thought we’d share that with you.  Read the entire Uni Watch article here.
