rebelx Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 The Bobcats logo is really not that bad! Sure, it might not be the best logo in the NBA, but it's not terrible, either. Can somebody explain to me what beef they have about the way the cat looks, in particular? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telemundo219 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Most the current ABA teams including this one:You money-hungry bastards!!!! College sports as we know them are just about dead. The lid is off on all the corruption that taints just about every major program and every decision that the schools or the NCAA make is only about money, money, and more money. We'll have three 16+ team super-conferences sooner rather than later, killing much of the regional flair and traditional rivalries that make college sports unique and showing the door to any school that doesn't bring money to the table in the process. Pretty soon the smaller schools are going to have to consider forming their own sanctioning body to keep the true spirit of college sports alive because the NCAA will only get worse in it's excess from here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

statebully Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I think the team nickname "BOBCATS" makes the logo suck as much as anything. That is the stupidest professional nickname in sports. Of coarse charlotte's football team didn't do much better . . . but at least their logo is better! I dunno, sucky name and logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Part of it is that it is flat and poorly rendered with accents/highlights that look unnatural, part of it is that it uses a team name that includes the name of the owner, and part of it is that people here can't really stand Tom O'Grady of Gameplan Creative, the illustrious creator of this masterpiece.

You think of a bobcat and you think of a ferocious little critter. And the nickname isn't ultra-common like Wildcats.So what's wrong with it?

Jigga Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 What's wrong with the name Bobcats? The owner's name is Robert Johnson, but he goes by Bob, and has for years. This was NOT a coincidence that he decided to call the team the Bobcats.If the name of the team contains the name of the team owner then the team name sucks.

leedsunited Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 My beef with the Bobcats logo? It's BORING.Just meh. Not inspiring or worthy of a second look. Just completely meh. Fine enough (especially if it was an AFL team) - but I kinda expect better for an NBA franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo_prankster Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 My top five worst logos:5. San Diego Padres (Swinging Friar is a wimp)4. Cleveland Indians (Mockery of native Americans and First Nations)3. Phoenix Coyotes (Cubist logo was far more original)2. New York Yankees (Bunch of steroid junkies)1.

I wish I could say that that wasn't just a coincidence.

Hat Boy Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 3. Phoenix Coyotes (Cubist logo was far more original)Original does not equal good. This thing is the Toronto Raptor of the NHL (althought it has the advantage of not being a dinosaur).And what is with the "Phantom of the Opera" style half-mask?

Fred T. Jane Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Whilst we can all dogpile on minor league teams, and the Charlotte Bobcats, what would we consider the worst out of the Major League teams? (MLB, NFL, NHL, NBA, MLS) [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

jrh31584 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 My beef with the Bobcats logo? It's BORING. And all the teams whose logos are just a basketball with the team's name slapped on it aren't?5.

Mac the Knife Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 If the name of the team contains the name of the team owner then the team name sucks. **cough cough** Cleveland BrownsI know you are supposed to say it while you cough, but I'm trying to start this thing where you say it afterwards.(bonus points if you get this reference) All right, I'll be the one to point it out:Paul Brown never owned the Cleveland Browns. He was their head coach. The team was to be the Cleveland Panthers until its ownership discovered a semi-pro team of the same name. The semi-pro team's owner refused to allow them to use the name, and in a scramble Browns got selected.Paul Brown later did own a team though - the Cincinnati Bengals.
