altosax29b Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 In honour of the CHL Memorial Cup starting Friday night, the Kelowna Rockets, who moved from Tacoma, who also didn't have a logo that represented the team name.I think you're wrong here. Let me provide you with some analysis:Dragons? They fly. Rockets? They fly too. Dragons = Rockets. Dragons breathe fire. Rockets breathe fire. Dragons = Rockets. Dragons are imaginary, man-made creatures. Rockets are man-made. Dragons = Rockets! Dragons are green. Rockets are green if you use green paint. Dragons = Rockets!!!!You just got served. Checkmate.

FinsUp1214 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I've never minded Kelowna using a dragon, but I never liked the logo itself. The way the dragon is positioned makes him look like he has a potbelly or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromatic Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 In honour of the CHL Memorial Cup starting Friday night, the Kelowna Rockets, who moved from Tacoma, who also didn't have a logo that represented the team name.It might not be a rocket, but its not a dragon either. The Kelowna Rockets logo depicts the Ogopogo, a mythical Nessie-like creature said to live in Lake Okanagan.I think the Rockets have a fantastic identity.

monkeypower Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 It's not even a dragon you two. I agree it is a good identity, I'm just not sure it works for "Rockets". Maybe Lake Monsters like Erie or something to that effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
final_sun Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Not only does it not represent their team name, it's the modified logo of another team - the IHL San Antonio Dragons (1996-1998): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamikel Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 An abstract bull head isn't a Texan. Granted a stereotypical Texan would make a better cowboys logo. Perhaps they could have tried to have the logo be something representing the Texas Revolution. However the last team to try that got heavy protest from Mexican interest groups and was forced to change (Dynamo were originally Houston 1836)A bull head/Texas flag mash up is about as stereotypically Texan as you can get, design-wise.

bosrs1 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Off the top of my head not counting alternate logos) :Football:Green Bay Packers*Chicago BearsDallas CowboysNew Orleans SaintsNew York JetsNew York Giants*Buffalo Bills*Cleveland Browns*Oakland RaidersSan Francisco 49ersBasketball:Oklahoma City ThunderBrooklyn NetsLos Angeles ClippersGolden State WarriorsAlready-mentioned Los Angeles Lakers*Indiana PacersDetroit PistonsNew York Knicks*With Baseball teams, it kind of depends on which logo you would consider their primary logo. If we are basing it off of the Mothership, I would have to say:Chicago White SoxCleveland IndiansDetroit TigersTexas RangersWashington NationalsPittsburgh PiratesSan Francisco Giants*Oakland Athletics*San Diego PadresLos Angeles Dodgers*Chicago CubsWashington Nationals*Hockey:Columbus Blue Jackets*Boston BruinsAlready-mentioned Washington CapitalsNew York Rangers?Montreal Canadiens*The ones with asterisks I'm not too picky with. I mean, how do you make an Athletic or a Packer? What about a Giant? A simple Blue Jacket as a logo wouldn't work, but a union soldier would, so I guess there's that. Like the OP says, some are too abstract to make logos for. I mean, how do you make a Dodger? Put Daffy Duck in a spaceship with Porky swinging a bat.......Crap, I think I gave Brandiose and idea or two.Um... the Raiders pretty blatantly have their logo's namesake front and center.And a large portion of that list have a secondary logo representing their name if not on the primary. For instance the Padres have had the Swinging Friar as a secondary logo since the mid-90's. And had him as a primary until '84. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That their name was the Rockets but had a Dragon all over the place. Now it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was strictly talking about primary logos. I will give the Raiders a pass, but that's stretching it just a little. @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
