I still have that issue sometimes when I see the Blues or Red Wings logos). The back of the neck and the tuft under the chin were the mouth with the little hair in between (to the left of the snout) was the tongue. Then the eye was behind the horn in some sort of abstract design I guess. I'm convinced I saw it like that because of the triangle-ish shape in the bottom right of the logo. I still don't know what that's supposed to be. It wasn't until i became a member of this board years later that i realized that team in the NHL video games wasn't a demon. It took me years to realize this was a "P". I just assumed it was a cool wing shape with some kind of abstract backwards "E". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don’t think the P is obvious to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoE38_Concepts Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I'm not a true francophone, so somebody correct me here, but Expos le baseball doesn't really make any sense. That literally translates to "Expos the Baseball". A more correct term would be "Le Baseball de Les Expos". The Expos logo is good for nostalgic purposes, but that's about it. Hopefully when baseball comes back to Montreal, they go in a completely new direction. As for one of my misconceptions, I always thought the Habs logo was a face turned sideways, and couldn't see the CH until recently, and I still struggle to find it. @noe38concepts (Instagram - Twitter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, the Expos' logo has no L! It has an E and a B inside of an M. No L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was seven, not Jewish, and had no idea how many candle belonged on a menorah. My younger brother as a kid always thought it was a fork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don’t think the P is obvious to be honest. It's really not a very good logo. However, it's probably untouchable now since it has been around for over 50 years.

Bmac Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 For a long time I thought Oklahoma's OU logo was a Q. This was the logo I grew up seeing: https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chromatic Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Another one, when the Ducks rebranded I initially thought the webbed D foot was supposed to resemble a duck bill, the "toes" of the foot were where it attached to the face and the rightside was where the mouth would open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilSox Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Not logos per se, but I used to think the Seahawks and the Redsk*ns both played in the Northwest. To me, Washington was a state and Washington DC was a city. So since they weren't the Washington DC Redsk*ns, they must have been the team for people from Washington state who didn't live in Seattle.
