kurtman62 Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 I first got attracted to logos in 1973, when I was impressed with the Oakland A's kelly green and mustard yellow color scheme. When and how did you first get attracted to sports logos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quantum Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 I first became interested around the time the San Jose Sharks came into being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAO Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I became interested in basketball at the age of 9 back in 1996, and i loved the Detroit Pistons' teal horse logo. (The one that they used up until 2001.) I loved the reddish alternates they had as well, one of the first uniforms i fell in love with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good gosh...I'm old.Me - I thought the Portland Trail Blazers' logo was really cool (this was around 1971 or so). Plus, I liked Red and Black together (I was already a football Cardinals' fan), so they became my NBA team. The Pacers were already my ABA team, and once the merger happened for the 1976-1977 season, the Pacers slowly became my number one team, and supplanted the Blazers forever.But not after enjoying that NBA Championship by the Blazers in 76-77. I still remember that one very clearly...one of the best examples of extreme teamwork ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neon_Matrix Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 In '94 I think I saw the Quebec Nordiques logo (I was born in 1987, do the math) and I fell inlove with it. I then lost interest in hockey, and fell inlove with it again in 2001. The Nords logo is now one of my favorite logos ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 can't pinpoint it but i recall the lime green Orlando Thunder jersey as the first one i can really say i fell for oddly enough, i was around 8 or 9 (1992) then the Pats came out with the flying elvis, and i was more or less hooked.

KennyRock Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Sadly enough, my first interest came with the old Charlotte Hornets logo - hey, to my own credit, at least I liked them before they added and starting overdoing gold... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JQK Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 When i was a kid. My father did a run into Canada (My Pops is a trucker), and he brought back for me the 1988-89 NHL Guide and Record Book. It had Mario on the cover, and it had the Gretzky trade on the cover.It was my first real up-close look at team logos, (there was a local TV channel that used to do computerized updates, and they had these nintendo-lookin' logos they used to put up, was also kinda cool, but i digress) and i loved it.That was when my love affair with Logos began.

slapshot Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I can't remember when mine began. I know I always used to draw sports pictures, and making the logos on the helmet or baseball cap was something I was really into doing. And I collected sports cards as a kid, and thought it was really cool when Topps started putting the teams' logos in color on the front of the cards.One strong memory I have was back when I was about 12 or 13 (1984/85), I remember reading a copy of Inside Sports. In this one issue was an ad that showed every NHL road jersey. I drew my own quick versions on a sheet of notebook paper, with lines pointing to the specific colors. Later on I redrew the logos and colored them based on the chart I made.Since we didn't have cable TV at my house, this was the only chance I had to see all the team jerseys, because a lot of the hockey card photos were either close-ups, or all taken at home, so I only got to see the home jerseys.

Roger Clemente Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I never was one for logos or uniforms until 1993. I watched hockey regularly in my youth, but the first jersey I ever really wanted to own was the white Mighty Ducks jersey. I was ten when it came out and when I first saw it, I was in love! I got it for Christmas that year and wore it nonstop for the ten straight days. For then on, I began my love affair with hockey jerseys. Logos are a smaller entity, which is why you don't see me doing much logo editing.--Roger "Time?" Clemente. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve-O Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Back in 1994 when I was 8 years old, I drew the sexxxiest logo in ALL of sports. The Chicago Blackhawks. There is no logo greater. The love began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
