Cujo Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Does anyone know if the logo on this Nike hat from a couple years ago is/was ever official to the Cubs?Also, does anyone have a clean version of the logo? Note: Not to be confused with the Iowa Cubs alt, which is a slight variation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 It's part of the Nike Ligature series...I don't believe it's an official team logo. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I'd much prefer to see either of these logos (sans "Iowa," of course) as the Cubs' sleeve logo and alternate chest logo. To me, they look so much better than the "walking cub" logo, and stay truer to the sleeve patches the Cubs wore for decades. Though for me, the mid-'90s "angry cub" still tops 'em all.

Shumway Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I have a Nike Ligature Angels cap...the logo on the front is the state of California with a halo around it, similar to this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sigma716 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 is that where the sox hat with the "S" with the two sox on the side came from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that's pretty much impossible to change, but at the same time it just doesn't look right to me.

Cujo Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 After seeing more of these logos in the thread, I had to look a little deeper into the Ligature series. Many of Nike's logos were total duds, but I did find a handful of hats that I really wouldn't mind seeing MLB use as official BPs or alternates.American LeagueNational League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate the Orioles' O's cap and I usually don't like the "Fun Bird" logo (because it is a weak imitation of the 60s-80s swinging cartoon bird logo). However, I really like that hat.

CubsFanBudMan Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Definitely never used by the Cubs, only Nike. But I wouldn't mind seeing it instead of the current alt -- actually I prefer the Iowa Cubs version with the fuller head and full C. I know I've said here previously that it would have been a better cap logo on the former (navy) BP caps at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also a star as to where they actually played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
