Great ambiguous logos

Recommended Posts

Buster, I've read somewhere that the Blazers logo is supposed to depict the motions of a basketball team moving up and down the court (hence the use of five lines up and five lines down), but I will admit that I've always wondered since I was a little kid what the hell it was. IDK if it is really depicting a basketball team (it makes sense but I wonder still), but it is certainly one of the strangest logos in sports.

I always thought it was supposed to be a very abstract depiction of a rose since Portland is known as the Rose City (no disrespect to Pasadena) and that style of logo was en vogue when the Blazers were founded.

I always thought it was either that or an abstract rapresentation of a P and a B.

It is an abstract representation of a basketball game, as knnhrvy said. The 10 lines represent the ten players, five from each team.
