Kip Powick Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I am sure you all know what this is...............A Stuka dive bomber....WW II And I am sure you all know what this is...Yeh, it is a Spitfire..( would have loved to give one of those a go !!)Now here is the BRAMPTON SPITFIRES, (Brampton Ontario), hockey team jersey logo. If it has anything to do with the Brampton Spitfires, this logo is on it.. ( 'crate' cockpit, antennae, wheel fairings, fixed landing gear, square tail etc)A few montha ago I sent a courteous email to the manager and asked him if he was aware of the context of the Brampton SPITFIRES logo and how it might not be so well received by vets of WW II.There was no reply......Yes, I do have a life...I just thought it was weird that this had never been brought up to the team before..or maybe it had, but how can one ignore the fact that the logo bears no resenblance to the "Spitfire"..not even close.More photos of the kids team here.....http://www.spitfires-hockey.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.O. Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 What do you expect, they're from Brampton! (I can say that, some of my family tree is from that area). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
