Hmmm--

Current logos-

NHL Tampa Bay--runner up Atlanta's "T"

NBA No strong dislikes, but there are some that could be better

NFL-Broncos

MLB-I'll wait until the season's a bit older--there are a few candidates

Overall? Tampa's--it looks like a cheap iron on from a T-shirt store back in the 70's.

Baseball's I find the most bland, NHL & NFL have the best ones--of the ones I like.

I know you said 4 NA leagues--but for the CFL worst-The Roughriders.

I actually really like the Baltimore identity. I don't like the straight-ahead head logo, but the brofile is tight. I just wish they'd go with yellow instead of metallic gold so the MD flag segment would work in the logo a little better.

As I said earlier, I think that the Islanders logo is the worst. Tampa Bay and the LA Clippers are pretty weak too, but as far as lack of overall quality, NYI's logo has got to be the worst in my eyes.

My first instinct is to say the Bucks, but the actual logo wouldn't be so bad if not for the color (even if they did yank it off the bottle of Jagermiester).

Anyway...

NFL: Patriots, Redskins, Panthers

MLB: INDIANS!!!, Blue Jays, Devil Rays

NBA: Wizards, Bobcats, Sonics (I wanna see a jet with that kind of name)

NHL: Blackhawks, Blue Jackets, Kings

If I had to choose a grand champion, I'd choose the Indians. PC reasons not withstanding, it looks too damn minor league.

NFL-Broncos

Even if you don't like the stylistic choices that they made, you have to at least recognize that the logo was not poorly designed. Asethically, it's well porportioned, consistant, and it communicates what they wanted it to. Also, it's recognizable, readable at virtually all sizes, and it's well liked by its fanbase and players.

I think they're a vicitm of situation. What logo is there for a team called the "Roughriders" other than a horse?

Problem is, Calgary already uses one when they should be using a big group of horses (a single horse is not a stampede).

This is sacreligious for me to say considering a relative of mine is their all time leading passer, but Edmonton has the worst in the CFL. Instead of using an igloo, they insist on being the Packers' red-headed stepchild...

Actually I don't mind their current uniforms--I'm a little tired of how much it's copied though...

And their current colours are way better than the last ones.

Their current logo is also a vast improvement over the last one, but I still don't like it, it looks too "stencillized" liek a kid drew it from stencil shapes, but I'm also not a Bronco fan, so if Bronco fans like it--hey no problem...

For a good horse logo that's not currently in use--the Baltimore Stallions of the CFL's US experiment ahd a great logo--too bad Denver couldn't have bought it...

I was going to say the Raiders--the logo is good except for the face--he looks like John Wayne poorly miscast and the helmet doesn't fit too well, but I like the concept.

dallas stars primary is boring and columbus primary is a disgrace

NHL - def. the Lightning....the bolt itself looks like its cut and paste work from a grade 2. and the font chosen for the logo is brutal as well

NBA - Utah Jazz....purple, teal and bronze? what are they thinking??

MLB - Montreal Expos....yes, i know its an M, e, and b all in one, but its still hideous

NFL - There arent really many that jump out as seriously bad. i'd probably say the AZ Cardinals. i know its a traditional logo, but at least TRY to make it look intimidating!

Worst logo? Clippers. Just a Lakers knock (rip) off.

Some people on this bolard have told me to do just that.

You should move it to its own thread though.

It'd be real cool for some of these to turn up as user icons.
