Similar? Yes. The same? No. To someone casually glancing at them, they could was be mistaken for the same font, but there are many small differences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewMLind Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 With all due respect, I think the idea of this thread is more so about the various design elements shared by teams as opposed to templated designs shared across a specific league or manufacurer.

The Bears only started using the wishbone C in the 60s as an homage to the Cubs (as is their name and for a long time they shared Wrigley Field). I believe their C was modified at some point to prevent a lawsuit, in typical Halas fashion. As much as the Wisconsin partisan in me would love to yank that from Chicago, I always thought the U of Chicago created it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Carroll started using it in the 1910s, well after the University of Chicago. The Chicago Cardinals were using a Wishbone C in the 1920s, along with a smaller second “c”. They undoubtedly got it from Chicago. Whether Halas remembered his crosstown rivals when it came time for a Bears logo, or whether he borrowed it from the school, I’m not sure we know. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

Ray Lankford Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 This might be a stretch but: All three came out within five years of one another and all three were created because the helmet logo doesn't really work off of the helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the thread is about items that are very similar. Also, I always thought the helmet elements of these teams and say Michigan wouldn't be thought of as logos at all. There are helmets where a logo is slapped on and there are teams that have a stand alone helmet design. Obviously the Rams did try to use a stand alone ram horn as a logo of sorts in the past but still most teams don't design a helmet and then pull the elements off into a logo but the other way around. The Eagles previously had an Eagle as a logo previous to this one for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4One Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Even before the Bruins made the stupid decision to ditch the yellow socks on their home uniforms, the socks for their previous alternate and now home, match the Penguins, though the stripes are slightly closer together.
