BigBubba Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I'm sure everyone knows this'n, but here goes...Although I'm not entirely sure what the "elb" stood for (Expos Le Baseball, or something of the like?), the logo was an "M".And obviously, the colors have to do with French-ness.The bleu, blanc, et rouge. "Equipe du Montreal Baseball" = Montreal Baseball Team. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Also on the Yankees logo, there is 26 FULL stitches visible on the baseball (the top and bottom stitches on the right side do count as full stitches), representing the 26 World Series titles.Yeah right, that's bullcrap. But pretty clever of me, eh?That logo was around before they won 26 World Championships... Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

"Equipe du Montreal Baseball" = Montreal Baseball Team.What an awful logo. The silhouette doesn't look anything like an "M", and the shape and significance of the letters are so poorly conceived and rendered that there are a half-dozen interpretations of what the logo really means. I'll admit that your explanation is a novel one, and better than most. Can't stop the logo from being just bad design. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

I do not know if they continued that idea with #27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But pretty clever of me, eh?That logo was around before they won 26 World Championships...Correct. The 26 stitches actually stand for the 26 letters of the alphabet. If you look very carefully at pictures of Yankee paraphernalia that predate 1958 (when the letters "F" and "H" were added to the alphabet) the logo had only 24 stitches.

ebod39 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Heres another one alot of people here know.The nose on the Denver Broncos main logo is a rotated nike logo.No, it's not. Just an old urban myth that got started when the uni's were first unveiled.I blame Woody Paige for that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevell Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Not sure if this one's been posted yet:Someone just pointed out to me that the negative space of the A is in the shape of a snakes head. I never noticed that before! I always thought they were some sort of weird fangs or something. Now I can't not see the snake head. I still like the D shaped snake the best, but this logo is much cooler to me now! A Study of The Baltimore Orioles Cartoon Bird Logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeauxColonels Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I thought that the negative (black) space inside the A was meant to represent a snake head while the cross bar was representative of a forked tongue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebod39 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 The old Buffalo Sabres logo, the eye is a ying-yang. Why? I have no idea for sure but I always thought it was a nod tothe parent company HSBC (Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Company), which had owned what was once Marine Midland Bank and was the first name of the arena.Personally I always thought the switch to the black and red was because of the HSBC tie-in and their corporate colors, just not as blatant as Orca Bay entertainment.Most people think the red/black switch was because of the Regis family and Adelphia cable, but that happened long after theteam went to black/red and was mere coincidence.this is an extreme close-up of the vector art: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn it - now I won't be able to miss it.I thought that the negative (black) space inside the (Diamondbacks') A was meant to represent a snake head while the cross bar was representative of a forked tongue.That'd be pretty goofy - a negative space logo is ruined if you add another, contrasting design element on top of it.

The_Admiral Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I just realized those are the same colors that the Jets have! Which is just what True North said the St. John's team would wear! I forgot all about that, but there they are: same two blues, same two greys.

I've been drawing that logo my whole life growing up and can still free-hand the whole thing to this day. Which is what led me to notice the similarity in the eye for the logo for the Spike TV show "Blue Mountain State"Their team name is the Goats, so I wonder if the designer intentionally looked towards the Sabres logo due to being referred to as "angry goat head" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
