statebully Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 i grew up loving just this simple louisville logo, and then they changed to the one with a horrendous font and odd shaped bird. i just really prefer the old classic logo, and i feel they could've made it work much better than what they wear now. i also don't like the yellow added into their uniforms. the yellow is fine as a supplement to the logo, but not as a secondary color in the uniform. just wanted your opinions!!Old Louisville:Current Louisville: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 welcome to a couple months ago, they took the yellow out of the uniforms.as far as logos, I prefer the newer cardinal, it was a nice update. The old bird's eye looks funny IMO. A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korkie Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I hate the Louisville logo, old or new. Birds don't have teeth. I do like the use of the olde English L though.

I do like the use of the olde English L though.Louisville's Cardinal Bird has always had teeth.I like the new bird - but just the head and not the whole wing.

leedsunited Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I hate that stupid wing on the newer logo. It just creates an awkward form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben5 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I prefer neither. I think they could have done a better job updating. I think it would look best if it was more of a combo of the new and the old. And the Old English L really doesn't fit IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I miss the yellow on the football uniforms. Granted, it didn't make much sense, but I always thought it looked nice. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John in KY Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 FYI - the logo with the wing dates to when adidas signed an all-sports contract with Louisville. I'm pretty sure that it came from adidas's design shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why it bothers me so much, considering how many animal logos are humanized in sports, but for some reason it does.

illini1 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 One thing that always bugged me about Louisville's logo and the St. Louis Cardinals' logo is that cardinals don't have yellow beaks. They have black beaks. I don't know why Louisville's logo has a yellow beak when a black beak would fit their color scheme much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmening Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Cardinals definitely have yellow beaks. There may be some that sport a black beak, but the Cardinal as we know it has a yellow beak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersurge Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I hate the Louisville logo, old or new. Birds don't have teeth. I do like the use of the olde English L though.DAMN! you beat me to it!!!!When was the last time you saw a bird with a cavity?I hate when designers take liberties with logos especially animal logos. I'm struggling to remember a specific example at the moment, but I do recall countless times when I've noticed some pretty horrible animal logos with human characteristics. I think I've seen a few with opposable thumbs that shouldn't have thumbs and some others with teeth when they shouldn't either. I think the biggest travesty now that I think of it, is a damn tornado or hurricane with a face, arms, and opposable thumbs. That has to take the cake right there!

There may be some that sport a black beak, but the Cardinal as we know it has a yellow beak.I just googled cardinals and they do have yellow beaks. I don't know why I thought they had black beaks. I guess I should have checked it out before I posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamikel Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 On a related note, I think it would be very cool if Louisville's women's teams all started wearing tan as their primary color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
