The current logo design for the Red Sox is almost comically literal: it's a pair of red socks. But when you're named after an item of clothing, perhaps it's better not to try anything clever... like anthropomorphising said garment, for example.
The design used from 1950 until 1960 showcased a humanized sock with a headband and a small baseball cap, leading to speculation that the headband was portraying the sock as a Native American, causing controversy.
"All I could see was Jay Leno with a condom for a chin," commented one person on Reddit, highlighting the comical and bizarre interpretation of the old Red Sox logo design.
