I did too at first. Even though I knew they were in the NFC East - I mean, the Dallas Cowboys and Phoenix/Arizona Cardinals were both in the East, and they weren't anywhere near the east coast. I think I had this misconception of all the "Washington" teams until I was maybe 10 or so and realized they were based in the nation's capital.

Earl Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 As for Norfolk State's secondary logos, I realize these days those are shields below the heads but I always think it's their upper bodies hunched over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention, Atlanta and New Orleans in the West, and Tampa Bay in the Central. Then when Carolina came along, there was nowhere to stick them but the West. The NFC was a hot mess before realignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was just an arbitrarily shaped wilderness scene. When it was pointed out it blew my mind. I just found out less than a decade ago. For the first decade plus of the team's existence I thought they had the weirdest/lamest logo ever, just a wilderness scene. I was wondering what I was missing. Somewhere along the line it finally clicked that there was a bear in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timaa Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I obviously know what theses logos are supposed to represent, but I always chose to see them as a b-hole and a p-hole, to put it childishly. And to think, they were "born" out of this beauty, so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGlinchey23 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Some of mine from childhood: I thought the Vikings helmet logo was a white whistle. I thought the Florida State logo was Elvis Presley with a big pompadeur belting out a ballad For years I saw the new Falcons logo all wrong. I thought the talons were the head, and thought the head and body were the left wing swooping around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost a friendship because when I was a kid my friend and I got into fight over the location Washington Bullets. He was insistent that the Bullets played in Washington state and not in DC, because they weren’t the Washington DC Bullets. Even after I showed they played in the East and the Sonics in the West he wouldn’t accept it. "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

Chromatic Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Not really logo related but I feel like sharing anyway. When I was a very very young lad I didn’t realize football and hockey players were wearing shoulder pads beneath their jerseys and thought they were all just inhumanly jacked.

PrimalCookie Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 For a long time, I thought that this UCF logo... ...was a baseball mitt. I never saw the Pegasus until a few years ago, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tajmccall Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 This one got me until recently- The Denver Pioneers had this hawk logo on the shoulders of their hockey sweaters- and always thought it was it was a Davy Crockett coon skin cap.

Is it a hawk? I’ve always thought it was a turkey. It looks like it has a tail fan, not wings to me. I definitely do see the hat now, too. At least that makes sense within the context of the pioneers moniker. Either way, it’s not a good logo if we see a turkey or a coonskin cap instead of a hawk...

To me, the hawk always looked like it was hatching out of a tan/beige egg. I can't explain the red and white part at the bottom.
