Sanic Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I've seen this some of the time, mostly in basketball, but have you seen how some teams don't use their considered primary logo at all?The most recent is the Wizards' rebrand. The monument-ball and the Bullets nod are the only ones being used on the uniforms, the court, and even the random team charts that players take pictures of. The jumping wizard logo? Almost nowhere to be found.Same with the Jazz. The old script is pretty good on the unis, but the newly recolored-to-death mountain logo, I can't see it anywhere. Other notables are the Raptors and the Nuggets, but they still use the primary on where the secondary and the tertiary logos are supposed to be.Another one is the Sens. That sideways-facing senator they introduced in 07' is nowhere at all. Not even on merchandise from the official shop. Why introduce a logo that you'll never use at all? I don't get it. Still marked as present on the logo pageAt least the Yankees use their primary on merch when it doesn't relate to the uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy B Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 The NBA examples are a result of the league's high price tag for switching logos. Recolors of the current logo are presumably not subject to this fee, so teams have just recolored their old primary logo and introduced new alternate logos that are used much more often than the designated primary.

Gothamite Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 The Yankees' primary is used all the time. Not only is it on a ton of merchandise, but it's all around the stadium:It was even on their most recent championship rings.And this is from the post-Series parade.There's this mistaken perception that the Yanks don't use their primary logo. They don't wear it on their uniforms, but they use it a lot. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was seen around the stadium, but was never part of the official graphics package. Still marked as present on the logo page Yes it is...and that's a mistake.

To me, it seems a little too detailed to be placed in a uniform.Fan merch would probably be a given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48erhater Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I recently bought a Jazz shirt with the recolored mountain logo. I wanted a green Jazz shirt and that was the only one available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfoster Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Oklahoma's s schooner doesn't get used much and there's not a lot of merchandise with it. Their ACHA club hockey team only recently added it the the crest of their jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phutmasterflex Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 When the Warriors lost their mascot to the team that used to be from Seattle, this primary logo was rarely used. In fact, I don't even remember seeing any of it at team stores during that period before their rebrand in 2010. Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I don't even remember seeing any of it at team stores during that period before their rebrand in 2010. If you're like me and had absolutely no idea what the heck this was talking about, here's some literature on the matter:http://peninsulapress.com/2011/01/03/thunder-enlightening-whatever-happened-to-the-golden-state-warriors-mascot/And an excerpt: "The following morning, I flipped open my laptop, determined to find some answers. I quickly learned that the NBA’s Oklahoma City franchise – formerly the Supersonics, who were relocated from Seattle in 2008 – had selected the name Thunder. This forced the Warriors to remove the moniker from their mascot. I gritted my teeth in frustration" ... [To be continued...].... Wow. Powerful stuff.
