NEW VIDEO: Sports logos used to be chaotic, colorful and weird.

They used to look like this πŸ¦–
Now they look like this ⭕️

That didn't happen by accident, and I tried to figure out why: youtu.be/pOj5gTodXeU

Original sketch, World Baseball Classic logo, 2005. Everything starts with something, somewhere, somehow. Back then you got a sense of what the event's potential could be, but you had to squint a little bit and project forward, far into the future.

The great @toddradom.bsky.social created the original World Baseball Classic logo, which is still in use today (with a few minor tweaks over the years). Three years ago he joined me on the Baseball By Design podcast to discuss that project.

In 2017 the Chicago White Sox hired designer Todd Radom to create custom ticket designs for each of their home games.

Not sure if they created a poster of that Dick Allen design but that’s a HUGE missed opportunity if they didn’t. 😍

The World Baseball Classic is upon us, and I'm thinking about having been there at the inception, starting a few years before the first WBC in 2006. I created the look of the event back then, from branding to ticket designs to the championship medalsβ€”gratifying to see the event take hold + flourish

That's gotta be one of the Dunlap broadsides, right? I remember him asking for the original, nope.

Philly businesses face new city taxes and higher bills this season An exemption to the Philadelphia business income and receipts tax, known as BIRT, was eliminated in 2025, leading to new taxes for smaller operations.

And this is all the result of a lawsuit!

I mean…yeah, you can’t really just steal a logo like that

The website, the byzantine tax structure, all of it, and now the massive increase. Nobody likes to pay taxes but I've never seen anything quite like what exists here

No pressure…but as a fourth-generation work artist I often think of the lyrics of John Lee Hooker, "It's in him, and it got to come out." Destiny leads us to all this

They are ready-the money is there, a potentially great market, stadium can get done. SLC and Nashville IMO, Montreal can't do it

A foot and a half of snow here, but warmer days at the ballpark are just around the corner-as is my new book "The Ballpark and Beyond," coming in late May. A piece of my introduction…
