"Embarrassing" new NFL logo gets panned on Twitter

Brands often struggle to hit the right tone when they contribute to commemorative events and campaigns, but a new NFL logo will go down as a particular low. The biggest league in US sport has announced its participation in National Hispanic Heritage Month with a new logo that suggests it knows very little about Hispanic heritage.

The National Football League has unveiled a 'Latin-flavoured' version of the regular NFL logo, with just a couple of simple tweaks, and it's been savaged on Twitter for misusing one of the best-known symbols of the Spanish language. Suffice it to say, this won't make it to our pick of the best logos of all time.
