stlramsfan Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 It's incredable why does't thee team like it? And isn't there this guy complaining that the current logo was a "creation of his" so just use this logo... right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 wha...what's this I hear about the Colts sneakin outta Baltimore? all joking aside, actually the old flying shield was the logo in question-the creator sued teh Ravens and won, hence the current raven. although I'm sorta indifferent about the current raven head, this one woulda served well.

TruColor Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 This logo was part of the "stolen" package thus the don't use it anymore. I believe the only logo that was stolen was the old shield logo.This one - I think - was part of the original logo set, but when it came to coming up with a new logo, the owners wanted to have a Raven head logo that 1) had more Purple in it, and 2) had a "B" to represent Baltimore. This one - in their minds - wasn't something that could just work on its own.Personally, I think they should have just tweaked this logo a bit and used it. It certainly seems like a better logo than the one they're using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowBoutThemFins Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 That logo is horrible. Their current logo is way better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC97 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 If I Recall Correctly, the creator of the Ravens original logo got nothing, the Ravens said the logo doesn't make sales -- fans will buy merchandise regardless of the logo -- and the court agreed.

FiddySicks Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 man gets $10 mil for stolen logothis is stright from www.misterhabs.com, or helmets, helmets. i got this stright from a link on the SSUR page. can anyone confirm it?The Ravens changed their logo in 1999 after losing a lawsuit. A local security guard named Fred Bouchat submitted a remarkably similar logo as part of a "name the team" contest. A jury awarded Bouchat $ 10 million and forced the Ravens to make a change. Bouchat's logo can be seen below.click the link and youll see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 The helmet logo must have a "B". It's massively important to the fans of Baltimore since the Orioles refuse to put "Baltimore" on the road jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the admiral Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 As to why there's no Baltimore on the Orioles uniforms? We don't know. Angelos is stupid. Probably so as not to exclude Washington fans, though I never understood that line of thinking with any team that does it, because it's not as if I would be like "what? Baltimore on road jerseys? They're excluding me! They don't care about me!" if I was an Orioles fan in Virginia, or Brewers fan further from Milwaukee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 the Cubs have CHICAGO on the roads. the Yankees have NY on the homes and NEW YORK on the roads. teh Red Sox have BOSTON on teh roads. Along the line of TCR's post, somehow I don't think a Cubs fan in Fargo, a Yankee fan in Akron or a Red Sox fan in Orlando feel excluded, or that their teams don't care about them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
