You are salty. Sorry that you don't know how the W flag is used.
So, you two are arguing that it actually doesn't mean "We won!"?

Do they say #flythew after losses?

The Cubs official twitter does not use #flythew after losses.

This really is a laughable debate. Just admit that a flag that is literally a WIN flag is a WIN flag.

So you would feel better if all the W flags were replaced with Cub flags?

Seems no different to me.

Are you gaslighting me? It feels like you are gaslighting me. It's working.

Honestly, i just see it like another version of the Cubs logo at this point.


I drive by a house with a Chicago Cubs Flag vs a W flag and they are exactly the same to me.

Apparently Rick thinks the Cubs only sell the W gear after wins also? Based on how often I see W flags, the Cubs won 365 games in the past year. Can anyone check with Elias and see if that breaks any records?

Shocking that Rick is hysterical about an innocuous flag and is arguing semantics about what it means. I never would have guessed.

There you go!

I'm in on the joke now. I respect it. Did you guys PM about it or is it just a natural phenomenon?

If "flying the W" really bothers you, you need to reevaluate the hatred in your heart toward the Cubs.

Well, I think a lot of things are obnoxious so you probably are taking it for more than it is.

There is no way a flag could ever evolve to represent more than one meaning:

Like the confederate flag. Or Old Glory. Or the Israeli flag...

The best logo in sports is the Chicago Orphans.

See how they properly serve the biscuit with butter and not honey?

Eat what you like. Butter, honey, jelly, preserves....put what you want on your biscuit(s).

A letter on a white flag is not the best logo in all of sports. If you think it is, set your standards higher.

It is simple and classic. Instantly recognizable and attributed to a team that does not even have a W in their team name or city. It can now be found in vast numbers wherever the Cubs play. Iconic.

Simple, classic, iconic, readily available, and recognizable all may be true. None of those make it the best.

Thanks for agreeing with me.

You seem confused. I am clearly and officially disagreeing with you. It is THE best. Think of all major logos currently.

Apple. Facebook. Twitter. Netflix.

Flat. Two-color. High contrast. One simple letter or 1C vector image.

You sell light bulbs. I do corporate graphics. We each have our speciality.

:lol: Only one of those is a letter, and that letter is a designed font backed by a specific design.

A single letter on a white flag is not the best logo in sports. End of discussion.

Sounds like it would be the end of your participation within the ongoing discussion.

Would you appreciate the additional examples of Beats, Zurich, Vimeo, Wordpress, Tumblr, Pintrest, LinkedIn, Textra, Adobe, etc

Hell, even ESPN got in on it.

Image

And another flat, two color logo with simple design you may appreciate.

Back for seconds, like a professional Easter bruncher! I'm sorry you prefer gang script for your logos.

This is the first time I've ever heard someone claim the W flag is a Cubs logo. It's not.
