They need to bring back the Pinstripes on the jerseys

I think they have to wait a few years before the NBA allows them to do throwback jerseys

 

[richiek]

Also the old Tampa Bay Buccaneers logo:

 

[Jme]

This was almost the Bucs logo in 1997

Did Disney make that?

No, but they did make this fictional logo for the Pirates of the Caribbean ride:

 

[Coreda]

While this does have some good reasoning for it, I can only see "elb" when I see this.

It doesn't immediately communicate that the silhouette is meant to be an 'M', or that it begins with 'M'. Only the upstroke is highlighted, opening it to interpretation as a lowercase 'l'. I wouldn't blame anyone for mistaking it 'elb'.

How I expect it's meant to be seen.

Also the old Tampa Bay Buccaneers logo:

What? That is a dastardly good-looking pirate.

 

[Max^Samp]

Colors made it better than it actually is.

dude that's the best one around. I swear.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Didn't Todd McFarlane design that logo?

Not only did he design that logo, but he was also a minority owner of the Oilers at one point.

 

[gutter_trash]

Thread title is self-explanatory


Exhibit A:


Everytime I see this logo, it's like looking at a high-school design stuck in the 80s.

OP fail, that is iconic and cannot be changed because of their Dynasty era of Mike Bossy and friends winning multiple Stanley Cups in a row.

The original Islanders logo is cool (can't say the same about the fish sticks logo)

I wish this was real. Fuck the Tigers.

 

[gutter_trash]

the worst offenders are 80% of NBA team logos, they look like bad College or High School logos.

 

[gutter_trash]

So what's the "elb" supposed to stand for, anyway?

Charles Bronfman

that's his signature

E is for Expos, there is a a B in there for Baseball and the whole thing looks like an M

 

[TapeDispenser1000]

Can you spot the grammatical error.

 

[MrChocolate]

Can you spot the grammatical error.

Is that an honest to god mistake? Or something to stop sounding weird like "Toronto Maple Leaves" as in leaving some place?

 

[Veritigo_X]

I guess it's like an official nickname that literally everyone uses. Their official team name is 'Toronto Maple Leaf Hockey Club' according to Wikipedia.

 

[LayLa]

watched a match a few months ago between Wolfsburg and Napoli, when their logos were on the screen it felt more like a game between investment banks than football teams :/

 

[billeh]

I could go on, pretty much every college football logo is terrible.

 

[bigred50]

Minor-pro hockey team. They lasted less than a season.

my least favourite are the generic, corporate, "clean" logos that seem to be taking over:

reminds me of the netscape logo lol

 

[Crazymoogle]

A lot of personal hate in here :jnc

99% Invisible had a great episode on Flag design, and really, everything in that podcast applies here. Simplify, stop using town names in the logo (sigh, Vancouver), and think about what your logo looks like on a postage stamp.

A lot of really hilarious failures though, good thread!

 

[ZoltanXerxes]

The Edmonton Oilers used this logo below for sometime. I really didn't like it.

 

[RunTheBrules]

So many Tigers posts, I love it! The Ole English 'D' is hands down one of the best logos in all of sports along with the Red Wings and (begrudgingly) the Blackhawks logo. But y'all forgot to post Detroit's logo when the Tiger started doing cocaine.

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

Can you spot the grammatical error.

The Maple Leafs say that the name was chosen in honour of the Maple Leaf Regiment from World War I; however, the Toronto Maple Leafs baseball team had won the International League championship a few months earlier and had been using that name for 30 years. As the regiment is a proper noun, its plural is Maple Leafs (not Maple Leaves).

 

[TheLegendary]

Worst Logo -->

<-- Best logo

 

[SchrodingerC]

Also the old Tampa Bay Buccaneers logo:

Hey now, don't be hating on the gay pirate. You're just jelly you can't be as fabulous.

 

[RunTheBrules]

The late 80's Mariners look was fucking vile. Not a fan of yellow and blue together on any team (I know tons of iconic teams wear it, it looks like shit on all of them - except perhaps the current GS Warriors set,) but that poor combo paired with shitty font, complete with a poorly executed drop shadow really just makes me a bit ill.
.

Um, you must be forgetting the team that made this color combination ICONIC. Arguably some of the best unis in all of sports. And dat helmet . . .

 

[ReAxion]

this isn't a joke or old logo. this is a minor league baseball team in the United States in 2015.

this was our old affiliate, they're in the same league.

so sad.

 

[Mudcrab]

Also the old Tampa Bay Buccaneers logo:

No way. Classic Bucs logo and uni are great and I say that as a Saints fan.

I think that raptor logo would actually be really cool with some color to it.

there should be an exclamation mark at the end

Know why they do those? Because it looks good across all media, mobile-print-display. A lot of the older logos are really cluttered when you look at them in some formats.

It's not awesome, but that's definitely the reason.

 

[Nete]

It doesn't exist anymore, tho.

WHAT

Wow, that's an even worse design than I thought.

Just because you don't understand it doesn't make it less beautiful. The Expos symbol is the quantum physics of sports logos.

Should go with it being modern art. Then me not understanding means I'm an uncultured philistine.

 

[Quick]

The Ducks are now using the webbed D logo as their primary, and that logo as their wordmark, so slight improvement already. It grew on me when they had it on their old jerseys, but their jerseys are better now.

Anyway, my submission for terrible-looking logos:

Quebec Nordiques.

LA Clippers.

Colorado Rockies.

man I'd wear the shit out of this logo

This abomination

That will be the last thing you see before I cut you.

Watch your back...

I'm just kidding of course. Don't want any bans. Logo itself is more than fine, foo.

 

[Zoidberg Jesus]

As an Indians fan, I agree with earlier posts that chief wahoo needs to go. It's 2015 for crying out loud! They really need to change the name too, but I was thinking if they replaced wahoo with just a red feather (For the secondary logo. The red C would remain the primary), it would be a step in the right direction, in my opinion.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Not technically a logo, but based on the logo of the owner's other business, I give you Kingsley, mascot for the Partick Thistle FC:

Here's the logo it's based on:

It looks like an angry uterus.

Nothing wrong with the isles logo, it's a classic.
