I agree with most of what you posted. Maybe I like the history better than the "Theismann A". If the boat is the one I'm thinking of I'm not sure if I like the busyness of the different colours but I prefer any iteration of the boat to an A, or the porthole, or 1995 Jason, or the the worst IMO, the 89-90 Argos script.
I think it is much ado about nothing about the abundance of As, they are fairly blended into the logos and to me don't scream out "A" (aside from the A only logos). The Als and Argos aren't necessarily tied into an A design either, everybody has options, including the Schooners.
