Anyone else always read this as “elb” when they were a kid? I thought it was some weird French Canadian way of abbreviating “Expos”.
I later heard it’s in fact an “M”, but that they wanted the red part to look like an “e” and the blue part a “b” so that the whole thing could be “Montreal expos baseball”.
It will always be “elb” to me. High-res
