One Jeopardy! contestant didn’t recognize the Golden State Warriors‘ logo during a question.
Jeopardy! always does a good job of pitting the strongest minds against each other in hopes of winning money. However, everyone has topics that they know and topics that they would like to pass on.
For one unfortunate Jeopardy! contestant, he had a question about sports logos. During the episode, a giant image of the Golden State Warriors’ logo popped up on the screen and the contestant decided to pass on it rather than answering.
Now the test of an iconic sports brand is their logo being recognizable. There are just certain logos that people recognize instantaneously in sports. Whether it’s the New York Yankees, Los Angeles Lakers, Florida State Seminoles or Detroit Red Wings, everyone knows their logos.
The Warriors have an iconic logo that most people and sports fans would probably recognize as well. However, this particular contestant didn’t want to take a stab at it and decided to pass it along. That’s okay, because not everyone follows sports, but the Golden Gate Bridge in the logo should have been a giant giveaway.
He probably should just go ahead and pass on geography questions as well.
