Beat me to it. That was my immediate first thought.

There must be one guy on the team doing these that's into sports logo design. It seems like one out of every four, roughly, are ones that look like legitimate sports logos.

So for the heck of it I recently googled Houston Baptist, and turns out they changed their name to Houston Christian University last month.  Odd time for a name change.  For now, I guess they're using their existing husky logo but without the text.

Yeah, they wanted to make it clear that you didn't necessarily have to be Baptist to enroll there. They do still employ William Lane Craig though.

FIU, not bad. Delightfully retro.

Boston College perhaps?

BC's eagle is different.

Somerset and Wichita are the best two, by far. Both of those are good enough that they could become full-time logos. Toledo's is pretty good, and so is Greeneville's.

I just ran into this logo at my work, and I swear I've seen this eagle somewhere. I can't place it, though. Help?

Love both of those logos. I'm really hoping that that other school you're considering is FIU, who used to be the Sunblazers before becoming the Golden Panthers, later dropping "Golden".

Those are classy as hell. That script should totally be a part of their identity across all sports.

Ironically the Spurs court was red, white and blue for awhile in the 70s/80s.

 

With Denver's uniforms matching the colors of the court, it looks like this could be a Denver home game.

Again excuse with previous post... I got really occupied with the NFL/USFL merger thread.

So for the New England division we need a team that really speaks out in terms of competition... how about a team that is primarily known for it's ice hockey?

HERE COME THE RIVER HAWKS!!!

I mean you have to go nuts when it comes to UMass Lowell.

Not a bad look for my alma mater. I dig it.

Pretty strong indications that Kansas will finally be moving away from trajan in '23. They started using this font in a lot of their social media last year and it's even being used on official signage now. 

I love Trajan for them... It'll be a sad day if they move away from that to this relatively generic-looking athletic font.

As far as New Brunswick is concerned, I only did it because of how busy the license plate design is and how awkward the bilingual province name is laid out 

I do think you could've narrowed all the text up there to avoid it. You wouldn't have had to narrow it by much, either. Just a thought.

Other than that, just want to say that I've loved watching this project!!

For Arizona, I love the idea of the sand color. I'd make it closer to a beige color than just an off-white

Can someone enlighten me? What is the logo actually supposed to be?

That said, the new 2-color is *chef's kiss*

She eviscerates that thing

A pitcher for the Battle Creek Battle Jacks of the Northwoods League (a collegiate summer baseball wooden bat league) is apparently taking the high pants to new extremes.

Do. Not. Want, personally. What say you?

I kinda like 'em...

*ducks for cover*

It's a simple update. Heavier line weights, and getting rid of that semicircle that probably wasn't needed anyway. I'm good with it.

I wish the Panthers hadn't gone matte with the helmet. I don't think matte helmets look good in any circumstance. Full stop.

Because I don't think "College Baseball NHL Inspired Uniform Elements" would make for a very long thread...

 

I get using this modified Habs logo on a hockey jersey, St. Cloud State, but wow, this looks weird on a baseball uniform:

 

Honestly, I think it might look weird because you're so used to seeing that C in a hockey context. But so many baseball uniform logos are letter-based, and this is no exception. I actually like it better for baseball than I do for hockey.

Unless there's something wrong with it, they should go with Generals and be done with it. Seems pretty cut-and-dry here to me.

I like that idea. The only issue might be a trademark thing with the Harlem Globetrotters/Washington Generals.

I mean, the show is from 2000 and comic book characters routinely go through changes almost every year.

He also featured, at times, on the fantastic HBO Max animated show Young Justice.

South Carolina, the stars get lost. I didn't see them at all until I zoomed in, and wouldn't have known they were there if you didn't point them out. I'm not sure if that was intentional, but it might not be the worst idea to lighten them up a bit?

Another Phoenix Design Works logo bites the dust. It is a good day.

Alex Bowman will be running the Ally Better Together colors at Sonoma this weekend featuring the progress flag.

 

I personally was hoping for a little more but I'm beyond excited to see the rainbow colors on any car. If we can get multiple weekends of red white and blue then we can have a few cars running rainbow colors in June.

That car feels like a sponsor trying to toe a very fine line: putting the Pride colors on a car, but doing it in a race in northern California, but also doing it in a relatively small way to be less noticeable to the stereotypical "LGB" NASCAR fan.
