Stampman Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 That Long Island Surf logo is a thing of beauty. Hideous, hideous beauty.As for major league logos that have yet to be suggested, I've always thought that the logos associated with the NHL's Oakland/California Seals were hideous.I get that it's supposed to be a seal holding a hockey stick, but good LORD...even accounting for the fact that this was made in the 1960's and that the resources available to designers were much more limited, this just stands out as horrendous (especially considering that the other logos of the late 1960's were generally quite good).You know I really don't mind that Seals logo - it's very much a snapshot of the time it was created in 1967. While it's certainly not on par with say Peter Max's "Yellow Submarine" look it is at least somewhat evocative of that era of artwork, much like the later Expos tri-color "M". And of course it looks completely, horribly dated today, and frankly it was outdated by the time it was retired after 3 seasons.On the other hand the Flyers' crest is also from the same time period and the same artistic style, and it certainly has aged well enough.It looks more like a fish than a seal. I mean, the thing has gills.I don't see gills--you must be interpreting something differently than I ever did...

wildwing64 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Yeah, the Braehead Clan logo - and incidentally, the name, is a bit crap.To be honest, the quality - or rather, the lack of it - of many UK hockey team logos is downright embarassing - but this one belonging to the Romford Fury is among the most horrific: PotD:Â 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I think the funniest thing about that Toledo Storm logo is that it was actually used. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian in Boston Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Oh God it's got two mouths. I can't unsee it now. I'm so confused.In point of fact, I believe the line running from the tip of the nose to just under the eye is meant to represent a whisker.

What a confusing abstract representation of a seal. I knew that line wasn't supposed to be the mouth, but I always saw it as being that. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself.
