The Chicago Bulls Team Logo is Timeless

I was impressed when I came to know that the Chicago Bulls team logo was created in 1966. The design looks modern and still holds up by today's standards. No wonder why the Bulls logo is the only logo that was never changed for an NBA team that was established pre 1994..... because it is perfect.

Look at some of the NBA team logos in the 60s & 70s and you will understand my point.

Boston Celtics:
latest


Houston Rockets:
200


Cleveland Cavaliers:
latest


Also here is a link that lists the evolution of all NBA logos.

So what other commercial logos that held up for more than 50 years in your opinion?

Dallas Cowboys have kept their logo since 1964.

It was just a blue star for a few years, until genius struck and they added a white border. It's one of the few teams, like the Dodgers or the Yankees, that will never have a uniform or logo overhaul.

Not a Yankees fan, but their logo along with the Cowboys, Flyers, Cubs, Packers, Raiders, Hawks, and Bulls are what comes to mind when I think of timeless logos.

Another Bulls thread. Imagine how many we would get if they were actually good. The Heat logo is still the best in basketball and will stand the test of time.

Came here to post the yankees logo. Not a fan (Tigers man) but that logo is EVERYWHERE! Europe, Asia, USA, EVERYWHERE! Worn by fashion followers, music fans and of course people who don't even care about MLB let alone the yankees baseball team. Yeah, teams like the Bulls and Raiders are popular but its not timeless. Everyday people only wore Bulls in the 90s. Everyday people only wore Raiders in the 90s. I don't see anyone here wearing those teams anymore. I see Golden State and I see Patriots...because those teams are relevant today. Yankees though? Seriously, the yankees can be absolute garbage for the next 20 years and your average kid or bloke will still wear the caps and shirts.

This. The Yankees logo is worn everywhere on caps in sweden. And most have not even seen baseball or know its a baseball team logo. Weird huh? But thats true. Most people think its New York the logo.

Same with Raiders, by far the most popular NFL logo here but people dont know what the logo is for.

Nah man. UK. During the Jordan days you saw everyone with a Bulls cap. Not so much anymore. I gather that in the USA you'll get a broader range of people with different team logos. Case in point, you go to your average sports store here and the only New Era caps they'll stock is NYY becuase they sell well.

fwiw the Lakers have been using the same(ish) logo since they arrived in LA with slight color changes and modernizations over the years. hell it was so good that the clippers decided to use the same exact logo!

I wonder how much was he paid to make one of the most iconic logos, if not the most iconic logos, in sports and as a representation of the great city/state.

I wonder if there was any royalty fees involved, which I doubt.

Yep. People here in Sweden who don't know anything about baseball or give a shit will walk around with caps with that logo on it. It has completely transcended its original purpose and meaning.

Nah needs a name change. LA Lakers still only makes as much sense as the Utah Jazz.

It's a great, iconic logo.

Though that you mentioned the Celtics, they've effectively had the same jersey for 70 years:

Mostly just swapped 'Boston' for 'Celtics' and slightly altered the text.

I bet some mistakenly thought NY is just New York.

But yeah, kids back then in my country wear them and nobody fucking watches baseball or probably let alone knew it was a baseball team logo lol.

Yeah the Yankees logo is the real winner here. It's worn everywhere despite people not knowing what it means or that it's baseball related.

Yeah, I think all of the Philly teams have really nice timeless looks. You could say the Eagles old Kelly green look was more timeless but I'm still a big fan of the midnight green. So glad the Sixers came to their senses and went back to red, white and blue.
