Stampman Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 First one I thought of, but then I thought--maybe that logo is so good that even bad teams can't ruin it.

Ferdinand Cesarano Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 This one suffered the same fateLes Expos. Oh man. The ultimate what could have been team.I loved that logo even though I never knew what it stood for. I miss things like that in our sports... foreign, different, that don't match cookie cutter looks that homogenize the sports world. Also, i believe it stands for Expos Montreal Baseball. I could be wrong. But i know it is EMBSee this recent thread:http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/106090-expos-logo-discussed-on-sitcom-in-1988/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirearmofMutiny Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 First one I thought of, but then I thought--maybe that logo is so good that even bad teams can't ruin it.Well, they were so bad that the Whalers changed it into the Carolina Hurricanes logo... But seriously, the Whalers logo is almost universally liked regardless of the team's performance; I don't think losing is the first thing that comes to mind when you see it.

MCM0313 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I like the red-and-green Devils logo and the "stick in rink" is okay, but not a big fan of the "let's look like the Lakers" L.A. Kings look.Well the lakers switched to purple and gold to match the kings, the owner wanted his teams to have a unified look in the fourm.Really? I had no clue.

Gothamite Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 First one I thought of, but then I thought--maybe that logo is so good that even bad teams can't ruin it.That's the worst version of that logo, though - it was so much better without the pointless outlines.

The_Admiral Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 No, it needs some outlines (which it had on the sweaters, blue outlined in green and vice versa, or all white outlined in blue), it just didn't need to look like the lid of a toilet. EDIT: I'd have gone with something like this Keeps silver involved, does not recall a toilet seat. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRoyalsFan20 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Here's another one from Canada. This one suffered the same fate as the Expos. A what could've been team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroCree Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The Knicks NYC Subway Token Logo. I'm not sure if it's still used today because I haven't seen it in the website or promotions since they ditched the black for the boring gray. If not, they should bring the logo back. I thought it was a great homage to the now defunct NYC Subway Tokens.And while on topic on the Knicks, I should bring up their jersey form the 2000's. It's a shame they were ditched for the "cleaner" look they wear today as soon as they finally became playoff contenders after a miserable decade. I thought these's were pretty cool. and yes, black was incorporated into the teams colors in an era where EVERYONE EVERYWHERE WAS DOING IT but I don't feel like they over did it like some other teams. It was a simple stripe that didn't overshadow the original Blue and Orange colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroCree Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I thought this was an awesome logo and jersey in a time when the Rangers were stuck in mediocrity before the strike.Jersey was cool but their current alternative jersey kicks this one's ass.

upperV03 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 ^^ I believe the Knicks' subway token logo is present on one pair of their team-specific Stance socks. I'm not sure I've seen it on any other team gear since they changed the logos and uniforms, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berlin Wall Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I agree on the Knicks uniforms. I liked them more than what they wear now. I'm a simple person, I have a pixelated David Beckham as profile photo since 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Hate the Rangers alternates so much 1) color of the Statue of Liberty is wrong; I feel this is a major detail that one should get right 2) team colors are wrong; the Rangers wore a shade of royal blue since their inception and shouldn't diverge from that 3) modified Rangers crest on the shoulders is hideous 4) weird jagged lettering doesn't fit the style of the Rangers' usual drop-shadow italic lettering 5) superfluous 21ST-CEN-CHORE-EEE silver all over Admittedly, I set a pretty high bar for justifying alternate uniforms, especially with teams like the pre-1901 NL clubs and the Original Six, but there's nothing in that design that not only appeals to me in and of itself but also makes the case for supplanting the superior original design a dozen-some times a year. Even though the Rangers have kind of drifted from the Original Six circlejerk, their most significant rivalries being with teams in the metro or down the turnpike rather than with their old-timey cohort, I still think they ought to look traditional at all times. The best I can say is that a Lady Liberty secondary in proper copper-patina green might look good on one shoulder of the Rags' blue sweater, but it probably wouldn't be worth the trouble. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Agreed on the Statue of Liberty alts in every single respect, except that I didn't mind changing the logo of Lady Liberty. That bit of license never bothered me, although everything else about those uniforms did. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

imawalkingcorpse Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The genuine article--- Bucco Bruce!He represents LOSING with a capital L!People are weird and blame this for the losing.. when it was the penny pinching owner and losers like Ray Perkins and Leeman Bennett that ruined this logo.

They went to an NFC Championship game wearing that logo. The problem was that Hugh Culverhouse realized he could still make piles of money and not spend any of it to make the team better. So, it was where careers went to die. The morale of the team was out when guys like Doug Williams were sent packing and Steve Young was traded away for a bag of balls. I hate the new Buccaneers logo.
