WindyCitySports Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I was thinking about sports teams who incorporate flags in their logos. I like the idea and I can think of a few. Here's a few that come to mind:Texas Rangers alt (TX state flag):Baltimore Orioles patch (MD state flag):Baltimore Ravens alt (MD state flag):Maryland Terrapins alt (MD state flag):Columbus Blue Jackets primary (OH state flag):Chicago Red Stars primary (Chi city flag):You'll find a lot that incorporate the American flag, but I like unique ones like these better.

hawk36 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Probably most common, I'm guessing, with country unis. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmejia Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 The Arizona Cardinals used to use the actual flag as a patch, correct?The Houston Texans primary is essentially the Texas flag folded into the shape of a bull:The Tennessee Titans use imagery from the Tennessee flag for their primary: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winghaz Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Most states need new state flags before the state flags are incorporated onto uniforms.However, some are great, such as Texas, New Mexico, Maryland, Ohio and a few others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornettored Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I despise the Alaska Aces, but they have one of the nicer alt logos: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I despise the Alaska Aces, but they have one of the nicer alt logos:That's a terrible logo. The perspective is all wrong, the motion lines don't make any sense and they recolored the state flag. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

TruColor Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Not only did the AZ Cardinals use the Arizona state flag on their uniforms for a time, they also used this logo as an official secondary mark from 1994-2001: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffrey Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Probably the only team to do so in any sport, the Calgary Flames wear both the Canadian flag and the Alberta flag as shoulder patches. I personally believe it makes the jersey look too busy and the blue Alberta flag doesn't go well with the overall Flames colour scheme. Does anyone know if other teams have used both national and province/state/city flags as shoulder patches, in hockey or elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Texas Rangers would have done after 9/11, when MLB put those awful surplus American Flag patches on the jerseys.But that wasn't by design.

If they want to include the Maple Leaf so bad, just pay someone to design a flaming maple leaf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doran Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 It's intended to simultaneously be a 'T' and represent the City Hall, but I've always thought the 'T' in Toronto's city flag matches the split font used by the Blue Jays.Although I think I might be weird.
