TERRIBLE! I do not EVEN care what the reasons are for this. The Canaries were and still are a sissy logo and color scheme. Did not like it then, and will not like it now. Just won’t root for them. The Pheasants were unique and colorful, and had GREAT uniforms.
Actually, “Pheasants” wasn’t unique at all when Sioux Falls chose it…the Aberdeen (S.D.) Pheasants used the name throughout the 20th century.
