Unflattering Newsweek Article
So, having way too much time on my hands, I was reading this: http://www.americancollegeofheraldry...s.htm#NEWSWEEK

Technically everyone wears some modern form of heraldry on occasion. Shirts (or other clothing) with logos and what not have been described by some as modern forms of heraldry.
ex. Nike, FSU, Devil Rays, Bucs, etc....

Oh, I'm not losing any sleep over it or anything. It just shows a disdain for the history and nature of the subject that I find annoying.
