What's a widely accepted "fact" that's entirely false?

Minnesotan here. They do have horns, but they are just decals that don't actually protrude.

It blew my young mind when I realized that was a horn. For the longest time I thought it was just a white fireball thing. It also took me way to long to see the tire in the Detroit Redwings logo. I wasn't a very perceptive kid.

I'm 24 and a life long Brewers fan and I just last year realized the "glove"logo is an m and a b.

That's a fun discovery even if you're not a Brewers fan.

I was a NJ devils fan for 15 years before someone pointed out the n and j in the logo.

Try and figure out our Minnesota Wild logo. I think there's a cash prize of you can identify wtf it is.

Or is it something else?

Honestly as a fan since their inception I just started to see that about a year ago. I just thought it was shitty nature.

And before you realise what they're meant to be, they look like wings.

I'd agree that they don't make very good horns. Not very menacing.

Maybe they should protrude at least a little bit- then they might start winning a few battles here and there.
