New Red Sox Logo Imminent: How Much Longer Will Our World Spin Around its Axis?

The Boston Red Sox announced that they will unveil a new team logo and new alternate uniforms during a press conference Thursday, the Herald reports. The current logo has been the unchallenged symbol of the team since the seventies. And now that there's a new contender, who's going to break the news? Jerry Remy, Jim Rice, and, um, Manny Delcarmen. Sending Manny Delcarmen to break the news about a new Sox logo is like sending a nurse with epilepsy to remove the bandages on a head wound. But we are pretty psyched about Jim Rice, whose appearance at the event might remind baseball writers of what he looks like: a Hall of Famer. Ahem. Those interested in attending the unveiling can email redsoxnation@redsox.com by 10p.m. today for a vanishingly small chance of getting an invitation.
