Speaking of relocations, \ The classic Expos logo is incredibly ugly. While I do appreciate the attempt to subtly add the "e" and "b" to the "M" silhouette (even if it adds an unintentional "l" into the mix), the execution is lacking. Instead of looking graceful, it simply looks like an M-shaped blob with an "e" and "b" attached. If the unlikely return of the Expos was ever to happen, I hope they aren't forced to use this logo. I'd much rather they use something like this: A combination of the excellent (and more importantly, graceful) "M" from the 1992-2004 road script with a contrast-colored fleur-de-lis (as a way of contrasting them with the Anglophone Blue Jays and their Maple Leaf logo).

The A's elephant logo should always be white, in accordance to it's origin story. Per athletics.com... Just outline the current elephant with green/yellow, and it could work in white on all of the uniforms (white/grey/gold/green).

I like what you've done with the Wild. It's a look that doesn't malign what works with their current look, and tries to include all of their main colors effectively. I do agree with the other posters that the stripes on the green and white sweaters do need reduction, and I'll add that the font really doesn't work with the look (the Wild's old number font would be perfect) and that the red pants don't really work with the set (green breezers would look better). Other than that, I really like what you've done with the NHL, especially the simplified Ducks.

That was a concept I did all the way back in 2011. Here's the link: http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/82402-sfgiants58s-concepts/?p=1675256 In reality, the "One Day" uniforms would have looked like this:

Todd Radom just released this image of a 1978 Wilson catalog on his twitter, highlighting an unused Giants jersey:

^I gotta admit, I do have a soft spot for the ABA uniforms and the FloJo's. I've always thought the pinstripes were a hot mess. Speaking of NBA looks, this has to be one of the blandest logos that receives praise: It's merely a basketball-encased image of the mid-70's Seattle skyline, with an off-center Space Needle (which, given its prominence in the logo, should be at the center of it). The font isn't particularly great either, but it was appropriate for the time. Considering how progressive the Sonics' uniforms were for the time, the contrast was a little jarring. However, the worst of this primary's problems is that it fails to convey any kind of motion. When your team is named after supersonic jets, the logo has to convey some kind of motion. Like this: , this: or this: Instead, it's a static portrait of a city. If the Sonics were still around, I kind of wish they would modernize the skyline primary to prioritize the Space Needle (as the center seam of the ball) and add in some kind of motion element, like a supersonic jet circling the Space Needle or some other part of the logo.

While it is certainly better than the Edge duds, I still don't get the love for it. There is far too much black on the uniform (black should only be used as a trim color, like it was on the white version of this sweater, and should never be the color of the shorts or helmet), the fire-snot horse hasn't aged well, and the number font has never really looked all that good.

1996 - Packers with full Lombardi stripes (last year for those) vs. Midnight Green Eagles (specifically, the first variant with the sleeve stripes).

This really isn't an unpopular opinion, but more an observation based on things I've seen. Would it be wrong to say that the Hartford Whalers are more popular know than they ever were when they existed? When you consider all the vintage logo merchandise for the Whalers and how well it sells, along with the mystique of representing a non-existent team, would that assessment of the Whalers' post-mortem popularity be incorrect?

I find it odd that when people mention the color issues on the Cowboys' home uniforms, they almost all leave out the black outlines on the sleeve stripes: I know that this is how the stripes have been outlined since 1966, but they really should have changed it when they returned to this style of home uniform in 1995.

Thanks!

Seconded. I like white facemasks for some teams, and the Vikings (when they didn't have purple pants) pulled it off really well.

I'm not sure if this one has been posted yet, but Mitch Richmond on the Lakers:

I wish the Braves would dump their navy and red alternates, dump the road cap, and bring in these as road throwback alternates (so they can still sell more hats): I also wish they'd bring back their striped socks for the home/road/home throwback, as shown here with the current home uniform (on Andruw Jones). On the players that do go high-cuffed, the stripe really balances out the colors on the uniform.

A peak into a Glendale City Council meeting: I take that back. Comparing the Glendale City Council to the inbred is deeply insulting to people who are inbred.

The black, yellow, and reddish-orange color scheme that the Canucks wore from 1978-1997 wasn't all that bad. If they had just taken their early-'90s template and used a recolored stick-in-rink instead of the skate, the scheme might have lasted longer. While royal blue/kelly green is my favorite color scheme for the team, the black/yellow/reddish-orange comes a distant second.

Chief Wahoo is a terribly designed logo, regardless of whether or not it's a racist caricature: Just look at it. The terrible line weights in the teeth (which don't even connect fully) and the other really bad attempts at detailing in the feather and the eyes make for a horrendous logo. It may be that some details didn't translate well when the logo was originally digitized in the 90's, but come on. If they had to keep him (which I hope they don't), at least modernize him.

Read that this morning in the SF Chronicle. Yeah pretty much Mayor Quan, the Oakland City Council and the Coliseum Joint Powers Authority are all nitwits. By the way Mark Davis shouldn't be owning a pro sports franchise much less anything else.Am I the only one who sees how similar these two look? Ask yourselves, do you really want a guy with a Bam-Bam haircut running anything?

I've warmed to the block "C" and the block wordmarks too, but I think it would be better if the Indians went with this wordmark on the creme alts: Also, flipping the text colors on the road uniform would be nice (red text with navy outlines).

This is my favorite Seahawks look from the 2002-2011 set: and my favorite Seahawks look overall: Would have been even better if the numbers will twill and not screen-printed.

1. They don't have much choice. The only other option they want is San Jose, which they can't have.2. The extension reportedly contains a clause allowing them to leave early if they can secure a new ballpark elsewhere, so why not sign it? I feel better knowing that last part. I thought they would be stuck in that hole for another 10 years.Me too. I didn't realise part two.Well, that's good for the interim and it's great that the clause is there in case this gets sorted out (hopefully within a few years, but probably not). Just out of curiosity, do the Rays also have a clause allowing them to leave early if they find a new place elsewhere in their Trop lease (the one place in the MLB that's probably worse than the Mausoleum)?

That's pretty much what I thought when the Warriors announced their intentions to build a new arena, way back in 2012. We might even see a rebrand (no way that they keep the San Jose name if they permanently move to SF, unlike their temporary stay in the Cow Palace), which would be welcome in my book.

Only two seasons of these two together (uniforms, not players): Also, only one season together (1995-96):

These are the best road uniforms the Saints have ever worn: Really love the gold numbers and the helmet/pants stripes matching.

This is the best uniform set the Suns have ever worn: No gray, no black, no sublimination, nothing to clutter it. Admittedly, it would've been better if the home uniform used a "Suns" wordmark and the wordmark fonts matched, but it still forms a great set.
