oldschoolvikings Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 My personal favorite version...Dear God, no!!! I can't stand that logo. The bird just looks too wimpy . . . or something. If you want a cartoon bird swinging a bat, you need this one.I can see why you'd say that... I like the attitude and pose of the second logo quite a bit. I just think the drawing itself isn't nearly as nice. The linework is too timid. The one I prefer just has bolder lines and is overall more consistent IMO. Although I do like them both. I'm a sucker any and all cartoon baseball logos that are taking a giant cut at a ball. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leopard88 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I just noticed in ren69's update thread that the Swinging Bird logo I posted above isn't the original. The left one below is the original.A side-by-side comparison shows that the differences are somewhat subtle (details on the spikes, fingers), but the original is definitely sharper.

kewp80 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I've always wondered why the Oriole has a hat... with a hat on it. Always picks at my brain when I see that logo.

Angels Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I've always wondered why the Oriole has a hat... with a hat on it. Always picks at my brain when I see that logo.And the cap bottom is so huge ! Looks like a German helmet from World War 1 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I've always wondered why the Oriole has a hat... with a hat on it. Always picks at my brain when I see that logo.I kinda thought it looked like a "standing bird". While I hate this logo, I am glad the update uses "O's"...it's much better than an orange splotch. A "B" would have been best, but I can live with this.Anyway, the wins/losses and fan preferences add up. "Happy Bird" is not going anywhere. I absolutely hate campy logos like this, the old Dolphin, Beer Barrel Man, etc. Perhaps I am just humorless. The more recent versions tried to hard to look like photos. This just utilized white and the team's two colors. Simple.But I have lost this battle. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

JayMac Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 My favorite cap logo is this:The more recent versions tried to hard to look like photos. This just utilized white and the team's two colors. Simple.But I have lost this battle.This is the logo that I remember them in when I first fell in love with them as a young kid. Therefore, this bird is still my favorite. The later more detailed bird was too much for me. The cartoon bird update is really growing on me and it is pretty much right up there at #2.

TheFloridianLogoMan Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Could have sworn I saw that above Orioles logo used in a TBS graphic.Not with the roundel, TBS uses the bird and that's it. What I posted above is a variant of the roundel logo that I've never seen before. I was wondering if that might be the future primary logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that Upton wearing the funny logo from the 1930s?

TruColor Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 A clarification - this is the "official" primary mark from 1954 through 1963: From 1964 through 1965, the Orioles used an obscure cartoon bird which apparently MLB could not secure a trademark for. I had never seen it until recently. I'll try to post a picture of it shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
