The penguin in the logo only had the scarf for their first season. They removed it for the start of the 1968-69 campaign. 1 Quote PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockey week Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I've posted on this before, and the links that had evidence have all since gone dead, but the Penguins' logo was often rotated incorrectly because people thought the penguin was running instead of skating. You can find the occasional really old Pens jersey with this rotation, because stores were merely sold the rights to make the jersey and the crests to put on them For the image to come from the league is embarrassing, obviously they hired an American who wasn't all that familiar with what skating looks like. 2 Quote I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

Can't tell whether this has pinstripes, but the numbers and text look different in both color and (I think) font from what they ended up wearing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discogod Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Looks like the same font, just with the colours reversed, which has the effect of making the numbers & letters look thinner. The teal may be a little lighter too, although that might be the lighting throwing it off - I remember back in the early 90s, depending on the lighting at the various arenas, the Hornets unis looked anything from green to light royal. Can't believe with how long I've been following the team and how much historical info I have that this is the first time I've seen that uni. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the actual uniform in my collection. It was given to me by a person who worked at the NFL at the time. I also have the St. Louis Stallions. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayMac Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I love the blue and green for the Canucks and I never want them to change. However, the black, red, and gold were the Canucks' colors when I was growing up and I do have a soft spot for them. The spaghetti skate logo leaves much to be desired, IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems odd to have that logo used for publicity photos when it's different than the logo on the jersey being held up. I wonder if there was ever any intention to have different home/road logos a la the Leafs, Jets, Flames, etc. That plane is awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimball Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Here's a fun one I found dinking around Getty Images. This is the logo of the Toronto Towers -- the relocated Cleveland Cavaliers -- that Ted Stepien was going to use if the team was allowed to relocate. Of course the team was eventually sold to the Gunds, teams weren't allowed to trade First Round Picks in consecutive drafts, etc., etc. I never knew there was a mock up logo for the relocated Cavs. OH -- and it should be noted that in the caption the team colors were to be red and white. 12 Quote "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

Discogod Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Incredible find! I love anything like that related to the late 70s/early 80s NBA, when it seemed like teams were going to relocate, merge or just go out of business every week. I wish I could find an article I had from c.1982 which detailed the NBA's tentative plans around that time - amongst other things, it had the Nuggets & Jazz merging, Spurs moving to Miami and Cleveland, Indiana & Kansas City folding outright! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
