Perhaps you're right... I read a few different articles with conflicting info, so who knows. I suppose if you're going to permanently name your franchise after a World's Fair (Expo '67 in Montreal) you deserve some criticism.
Who even remembers Expo '67 anyway? Professional teams really should not be named after temporary events. I am probably biased because as a kid, I was as much a Tony Perez fan as I was a Reds fan. When they traded Perez to Montreal after the 1976 season, it was a tough pill to swallow. I could not stand seeing him go from the Reds' classy and timeless uniforms to those goofy looking threads that the Expos called a uniform.
Dumb logo and dumber name. Just my dumb opinion.
