The_Admiral Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 https://sportslogohistory.com/ Quote The New York Islanders have had a long and storied history, and their primary logo has changed many times over the years. The first iteration of the team’s logo came in 1972 when they were initially known as the New York Americans. This original design featured a red, white, and blue shield with an American eagle and two crossed hockey sticks behind it. In 1975, when they became part of the NHL expansion teams and adopted their new name, “Islanders”; this was also accompanied by a change to their primary logo, which now featured an orange-and-blue shield that included four stripes at its base representing Long Island Sound's four counties: Nassau County (orange), Suffolk County (blue), Queens County (white), and Kings county(red). In addition to this, there was also an interlocking ‘NY’ for New York located within it. This version remained until 1995, when another redesign took place using more modernized colors such as navy blue instead of royal blue while still keeping all other elements intact from before. Finally, in 1998, after several minor changes throughout those three years prior, A brand new look was unveiled featuring what is now considered one of the most recognizable logos in sports today: An orange fisherman silhouette that would become affectionately known simply as "Fisherman." Even though slight modifications have been made since then, such as changing out some colors or altering how certain elements are presented, the basic idea remains unchanged even up till the present day making Fisherman one of the most iconic symbols associated with not just Islanders but the entire National Hockey League itself! Quote The Winnipeg Jets' primary logo has undergone various changes over the years. The original Winnipeg Jets logo was created in 1972 when the team first joined the NHL. This initial design featured a blue and white circle with an image of a jet flying through it, and two hockey sticks crossed at its center. In 1979, this design was updated to include an outline of Manitoba's provincial flag inside the circle and changed some of its colors to green and yellow instead of just blue and white. In 1990, another change was made to incorporate more modern elements into their logo while still maintaining what had become iconic: namely, keeping both jets and including Manitoba’s provincial flag within it. This version included two silver jets on either side, outlined in black against a red background. They also contained gold stars representing Canada’s provinces/territories surrounding them, all enclosed by a navy-blue ring emblazoned with “Winnipeg Jets” written around its circumference in gold lettering. Okay well they can't mess up the letters SF: Quote The original design featured a shield with three stars at its center representing the “three strikes you’re out” rule used in baseball at that time; this symbolized how difficult it would be for opponents to beat them on any given day. In 1961, this design was replaced by one featuring two crossed swords set against a red background with white trimming around it; these swords were meant to represent strength and courage – qualities that are still very much associated with the team today! In 1983, another redesign took place: now featuring an interlocking ‘SF' within a circle surrounded by three gold stars (representing past Super Bowl victories). This version is still used today but has seen some minor modifications since then such as changing from blue to black or adding additional colors like silver or copper into its palette. Regardless of what changes may come along down the line though, one thing will remain constant: The San Francisco 49ers logo will always be synonymous with success! Okay, we'll try the Yankees, it can't get the Yankees wrong: Quote The New York Yankees have a long and storied history, and the team’s primary logo has been an iconic symbol of that legacy for many years. The original logo was designed in 1909 by Louis B. Tiffany & Co., which featured a blue interlocking “NY” on a white baseball cap with red trimming around the edges. This design remained unchanged until 1947 when it was updated to include navy blue lettering instead of the traditional red, as well as adding stars above each letter to signify their World Series wins at that time. From then until 1973, minor changes were made such as changing from block letters to script fonts or adjusting colors slightly but overall this version stayed relatively consistent throughout those decades before being retired in 1974 due to copyright issues with Major League Baseball (MLB). In 1976 however, MLB allowed teams like New York who had previously used logos without permission back into compliance by licensing them officially through its own organization so they could be used legally once again without any problems arising from copyright infringement laws. This new iteration of the NYY Logo still remains largely similar today; featuring navy-blue cursive letters surrounded by stars representing their championship titles over time while also incorporating different shades of grey for added detail and texture within its design elements - all coming together beautifully against either an off-white or light gray background depending on where you see it displayed most often! As one would expect given how much respect fans have held towards this particular emblem since first seeing it nearly 110 years ago now: no matter what else may come down the road ahead there will always remain something special about having your very own piece bearing these three simple yet powerful words emblazoned upon them: "NEW YORK YANKEES."

BBTV Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Every post in this thread NEEDS to be written by AI: Quote AI doesn't inherently know anything about sports logos because it lacks personal experience and intuitive understanding. Sports logos are a form of visual representation intricately linked to human culture, history, and fandom. While AI can analyze and process images, it doesn't inherently grasp the cultural significance, emotional attachments, and historical context that humans associate with sports logos. Understanding sports logos requires not only visual recognition but also a deep understanding of the social and cultural dynamics surrounding sports teams, their fan bases, and the narratives they embody. Without direct training data or explicit programming, AI remains unaware of the rich tapestry of meanings and emotions embedded within sports logos. 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

BBTV Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Quote It's important to note that not every member of the CCSLC (Chris Creamer's Sports Logos Community) necessarily harbors negative feelings towards any specific member, including someone known as "unocal." Community dynamics can vary widely, and conflicts or disagreements between members are not uncommon in any online community. If there are tensions or disagreements involving a specific member, they could stem from various reasons, such as differences in opinion, communication styles, or past interactions. Additionally, perceptions of individuals within a community can be subjective and may vary among members. It's essential to approach such situations with understanding, open communication, and a willingness to resolve conflicts constructively. 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."
