For design #1 and #2 try using block letters for the word Dodgers. This style is too close to the logo. Also, I have added a gif of the logo for the game show the biggest loser as an example of showing constraint. I think the ball and chain concept is good but it is lacking some impact. Maybe red tape around the word dodgers like biggest loser. Red tape representing bureaucracy, which is what the Dodgers organization is headed for with its legal woes.

Please see http://dodgerfan.net/its-time-for-dodger-baseball - scroll down to the bottom right. There are a number of Blogs there to read about the dodgers and see unique things that only dodger lovers will find.

The design already has competitors. We need to make it good .. check out - http://www.cafepress.com/LAD_Gear

Regarding Design #12 something about it is not quite relaying the idea that Frank McCourt is a crook. I'm not sure what that should look like. Maybe it should look messier to illustrate the mess that he has put the franchise in. Along the lines of "Frankrupt" I thought of Frank McCROOK!

The red tape versions are not working for me - they look too much like a ribbon hanging over the words rather than a tangle-ment of red tape.

Re: Entry #14. The concept is that the Dodgers are being held captive by a greedy bastard of an owner in Frank McCourt (herein known as Frank McCROOK!). The logo should communicate evil, madness, and frustration on the part of the fans.
