Sodboy13 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Walking downtown the other day, I saw a person wearing a Cubs shirt with the sleeve patch/alt jersey "C" on it. But instead of having the entire walking Cub through the C, it just had the profile of the Cub's head. It looked fantastic, and if I had any artistic talent, I'd do a mockup of it. But this is definitely what they should be using on the sleeves and on the alternates. Beauty.

Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

otherwilds Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 this year the patch should include a bear with its throwing arm in sling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knox Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 thats not a profile on the far right. it looks like their old late 80s sleeve patch Actually, they wore that patch on their left sleeve from 1994-1996.This one was used from 1979-1993, I think. It is also my favorite one:This one was used before THAT. I think they used it (or at least a similar variation of it) starting in 1969: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think sodboy may have seen Nike's Cubs alt logo, which has the cub head over the C.jtaber-the one on the right that you posted was the mad bear, used from 1994 to 1996 (basically, the "Cuba" road era). before that one was the madcub, used from 1979 (when the C-UBS logo was thickened) to 1993...and before that one were the blue/tan versions of the cub head, with no circle or C behind them.also, the earliest cub head appeared in 1962 A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted June 12, 2005 Author Share Posted June 12, 2005 no97 and Discrim, you nailed it.Even as the White Sox diehard that I am, I have to say that logo looks spifftastic.I'll give Nike credit where it's due - they're good when it comes to creating variants on team logos. Rank right up there with Zephyr's X-Line stuff.

BBTV Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 I think Shark started a thread about these caps / logos a couple weeks ago. Most of them are gorgeous. Some of them (Phillies) leave a little to be desired.

mightynine Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I had to pick one of those up the other night. It's a little snug on my large melon, but that logo variation is nice. (And slightly better than the Iowa Cubs' take on the logo.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VitaminD Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 I think Shark started a thread about these caps / logos a couple weeks ago. Most of them are gorgeous. Some of them (Phillies) leave a little to be desired. They really did a disservice to some teams - they either went with uniform scripts (Braves, Dodgers) or a basic team logo (Twins, Royals, Rockies). Which is a shame, because some of them are really clever (Giants, Cubs, Jays, Rangers). "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 A guy I know got this tattooed on the same arm the cubs had it on, left I'm guessing, and the next year they changed to the walking cub logo. It is still a pretty sweet tatoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 This one was used from 1979-1993, I think. It is also my favorite one: Mine too. Wow, even more Cubs threads today... can't get to them all right now. Gotta get to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VitaminD Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Interesting - following no97's link to lids.com, they still show the Atlanta hat as just having the script "Braves" wordmark across the front. The silhouette of Georgia is an improvement, even if it looks like one of their minor league teams.Icecap79 - follow the link that was included by Moose with the Cubs hat - it's his post right below your first one in this thread. Between product details and the promotions is a link to view all Nike Ligature Swoosh Flex hats. Jays are 3rd row, in the middle. It's the present cap logo without the big "J".
