This may be the most random thought coming from the Brennan cranium. But as the NCAA tournament begin's today, there is one thing I've noticed about every game I've seen on the tube.... the "NCAA" is crooked.
Like Fletch, I'm a big fan of uniforms, colors, classic throw-backs, and also a huge fan on how sports franchices decorate their homefield / court (how they cut the grass, do they paint the lane, etc.).
What I've noticed, and can't seem to understand, is why the "NCAA" emblem on every center court, in every arena, is off center. Just check out a game and you'll see what I mean. Each court has a HUGE blue circle at mid-court with the "NCAA" written on it, good touch, classy, I agree. But the actual "NCAA" is not centered with the blue bubble. Why? and it's like this in every arena with every NCAA emblem you see.
I remember seeing this a few years ago at the 2004 Women's NCAA Tournament, and it's been bothering me since. At first when I saw it, I thought it was an accident. But after doing research, all NCAA emblems have the letters "NCAA" about 10-20% below the mid-way point of a circle or blue bubble.
Now last checked, the NCAA represents college scholars, and "smart people" with college degree's... isn't it unatural for the eyes to see the emblem like this (a'la off center)?
This rant may back the claim up that it is unatural and it does bother the ole' peepers. So enjoy the game, and if you get an unexpected headache while watching the madness, don't say I didn't warn ya.
