PowderedWater Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Hey everybody. I’ve been thinking about this for only about a minute but it really fascinates me. The concept of lost media is both utterly simple and endlessly complicated. Recent notable cases of found lost media include “Sally”, the infamous “Clockman” cartoon that spooked many an 80s child, but in reality is just an average visit from your uncle Trevor (you know the one, wears a banana yellow tuxedo with a Slipknot t-shirt to funerals); the lost sequel to “You on Kazoo!”; and “A Day with Spongebob Squarepants”, which never existed. I saw a comment on Chris Creamer’s new infographic, If Sports Teams Couldn’t Chane Their Logos, proposing that the original Philadelphia Flyers logo has been lost to time. The only other example that comes to mind is also from the NHL, which is any Hamilton Tigers logo, except for old, damaged photographs. Does anyone else know about any phantom logos? Maybe we can uncover them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobster Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 The Suns original logo might qualify. It only survived their original press conference to reveal the team name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be more like the proposed 70s Patriots logo that was only discovered a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4One Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Arthur Griffiths, the original owner of the Vancouver Grizzlies, wanted to name the team Mounties, but couldn't due to licensing reasons with the RCMP. This was just a proposed logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twi Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Speaking of lost logos, when the Orlando Solar Bears came back a few years ago they had a logo that I’ve only ever seen during their first announcement. It was a top down view of a polar bear head, the bear was swimming and positioned like you would expect an alligator to be. I thought it was a really unique use of the name and mascot animal tied in to a look the home fans would be familiar with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakfu Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Original Hornets logo, I remember it on basketball cards and then never saw it again. A version of the H was on the waistband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimball Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 This topic is a little confusing? What constitutes a lost logo? Is it a proposed logo? An unused logo? A logo used for a day, a month or even a year? (You sang that didn’t you?) "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."
