Patriot54 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I'm mostly talking about football, but this applies to all sports - with all the modernizing of logos, do you think teams will start switching back to older styles or at least more variety? Styles do change over the years and all these carbon copy NFL logos are starting to look stupid after a while.Also, do you know of any pro team that has modernized, then gone back to their old logo?

Patriot54 Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 Also, do you know of any pro team that has modernized, then gone back to their old logo? The NY Jets I for got about them - in their case, it was a good idea - the sleek jet wordmark just looked cheesy. I wouldn't really call it modern though, they started using that one in 1978.Teams that should go back to their throwback logo.....Chargers, Broncos, Patriots and Eagles.

Intimidator85 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Add the Giants to that list. Although not an exact match, the logo they use now is very much similar to a logo they have used in the past.As far as the rest of the NFL goes, I don't think we'll see anyone going back to previous logos anytime soon, if ever. Not too many teams actually have previous logos, and the ones who do are not likely to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wman Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 The Eagle logo is better now. You can argue the Kelly Green thing but the logo is a big improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 The Eagle logo is better now. You can argue the Kelly Green thing but the logo is a big improvement. Yeah the new/current logo is fine. I just wish the Iggles would bring back the silver - not charcoal like on the numbers - pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legion Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Buffalo Bills...sort of. They are rumoured to have asked the league for permission to go to the standing red buffalo and classic throwback uniforms full time for next season but were turned down. Hopefully they will keep trying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While not a pro football example, from 1999 to 2004, BYU went through several iterations of their modern look before reverting in 2005 to the 1980s style uniforms and helmet logos (albeit in navy rather than royal blue).

Dark Angel Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Correct me if i'm wrong but did the Angels went back to their old uniform from the 60's from 1993-1996. Also, I would like to see MLB bring back classic logos. Even though I starting to like it I would like to see the Astros with the H W/ star logo I think it's would look great with their current colors.

Discrim Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 honerable mention i.e. teams admitting they made a mistakecavs (old colors)pistons (back to old colors and simpler design)rockets (simpler design)sonics (old colors and closer to old uniform style) I can agree with ya on three of these. the last one, I'll just agree to vehemently disagree (the current ones are the mistake IMO) and move on. I did like the Cavs' late 90s colors, but the unis left a lot to be desired and to say the logo that went with it was bland is being nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 While not totally retro, the LA Kings went back to having a crown on their jerseys.SU Football went back to numbers on their helmetsPitt went back to "Pitt" on its helmets, albeit in a completely different typeface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
