The people who find it offensive say that the oyster in the glove with a pearl (baseball) in it looks like a particular part of female genitalia. People can see whatever they want in anything. These same people probably find clouds offensive.

Not offensive.
Some people will think nothing of it.
People with dirty minds will find it suggestive. Some of those people will find the logo appealing or amusing. But others look for any reason to be offended by anything.

"Oh my goodness! These lamp covers are obscene!!!"

I'm all for offending the easily offended. LOL. "It's an oyster, dumb ass. Get your mind out of the gutter."

Nope, I don't see a vagina. I see a baseball mitt and an oyster with a pearl/baseball. Maybe a little complex to embroider on a hat or shirt but it looks good and gives a nod to local culture.

The Jesus freak Karen's will always find filth in everything. They're mentally ill and obsessed with sex... which has probably eluded them their entire life.

I think it's funny. They could have went with the easy option of the oyster catcher bird but that's better.

[AI Opinion]

Logos often evoke a range of opinions based on personal perspectives and regional significance. The Oyster Catchers' logo, with its connection to Chesapeake Bay, highlights local culture and industries, which can be seen as a unique tribute. While some may find it offensive, others might appreciate the nod to the area's identity. It's essential to consider community feedback and ensure that the logo is both respectful and representative. If you feel strongly, sharing your perspective in the poll can help shape the conversation! ⚾🦪

Since I have been Graphic Designer/Artist/PhotoCompositor for 58 years, I can certainly respect the work that went into the design process. Should it be widely used for "family-oriented" media? I wouldn't think so. Maybe just stick with the bird perched on the bat rather than invoke this new patch.

Before i read oyster i thought "cup" for jocks, but no nothing female.

[KostasKouvalis]

I don't see anything offensive about it, it's just stupid.

Who was offended by this? PETA?

[Douglas1180]

No serious graphic designer would have ever conceived this logo.

[Red_Arrow]

I think it is offensive and they should post it everywhere.

[DrPepper12]

It's creative, on point and unique. Exactly what you want in a logo.

[fish5505_87]

My mind had not even gone there until I read the part about some people find it offensive.

[Bklynbadboy12]

That will never fly sports are family events and that logo looks like a pussy!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Sachem]

It's different. Not offensive.

[HeartShapedHaze]

I died the first time I saw this lol

[Dongie]
