ARTnSocal Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 http://farm4.static....9c16d82ce_b.jpgNot a logo specifically, but uniform changes. Unused uniforms may fit here, may not. Whatever.I totally remember hearing about this years ago ... but I never heard anything since then and the change never occurred. I had wondered why, but assumed the fans in Wisconsin went into an uproar about the notion just as the 49er faithful did about the 1-day wonders...Interesting letter ..... Also, I too gotta agree, all these unused logos are really bad ....I don't mean to bash your opinion, because you are more than entitled to it...but I honestly don't understand how THIS logo is anywhere close to being better than anything that the Pats have put out there in their entire history. I despise the Pat Patriot logo and I think it totally destroys this logo. Just because its completely different and never been used it doesn't mean its good. Don't you think if this logo was anywhere close to good that someone would have pushed to have it used in someway??? To call it "the best logo the Patriots organization ever came up with" seems a lot like more like an opinion shared by a very small group of people. I honestly can't understand why people keep bashing the Flying Elvis logo. Its the best thing they've come up with since they've been in existence...but maybe thats just MY opinion, and maybe I'm the only one. *shoulder shrug* (I doubt it though)I agree with most of what you wrote, except about the Pat Patriot logo ... I always thought it was cool .... the only problem was the red jersey. PATRIOTS in the red jerseys looked like they were dressed looking like the British Redcoats .... My dad used to go on and on about how idiotic it was that they wore a red jersey when the BILLS would play them there and it was on TV, and I gotta agree. That Elvis logo has grown on me thru time even tho' I have a major loathing of that team ... but always liked that Pat-Patriot logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xTr1pleXx Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I can guarantee that had the Islanders gotten cold feet on the fisherman logo and never used it on ice, that logo would've shown up on this thread by now.I have to agree that most of these are terrible. Though that Sixers one Lights Out posted looks pretty nice. 1923 1927 1928 1932 1936 1937 1938 1939 1941 1943 1947 1949 1950 1951 1952 1953 1956 1958 1961 1962 1977 1978 1996 1998 1999 2000 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItzJamesFTW Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 May or may not be on topic, but there was a graphic designer who 'proposed' some new logos for the Packers, none of which would ever be chosen over such an iconic look, nevertheless, here they are:Like I said, sort of off topic, as in no way do I think these are the "best" actually the complete opposite.

nash61 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Not the best logo ever, by any means, but would have done wonders for the Thrashers branding (anyone know why it's not on the mothership anymore?)

IceCap Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 We've had a couple of prototype/unused re-brand threads through the years, so I thought it would be nice to have a thread dedicated to everyone's favourite logos from the world of what-could-have-been. I'll start. This is the best logo the Patriots organization ever came up with, in my opinion.I don't mean to bash your opinion, because you are more than entitled to it...but I honestly don't understand how THIS logo is anywhere close to being better than anything that the Pats have put out there in their entire history. I despise the Pat Patriot logo and I think it totally destroys this logo. Just because its completely different and never been used it doesn't mean its good.

Its the best thing they've come up with since they've been in existence...but maybe thats just MY opinion, and maybe I'm the only one. *shoulder shrug* (I doubt it though)"I don't mean to bash your opinion, but I will anyway...."It's cool, agree to disagree, but I would prefer it if we were just honest about doing that. Anyway Pat the Patriot is a poorly rendered cartoon. I don't see how he's any better then the logo I posted. As for the Flying Elvis? Well both it and the logo I posted are playing around with the same design, they just execute it differently. Flying Elvis, to me, just lacks "substance" as a logo. He seems flimsy, he doesn't take up a substantial amount of space. I agree that he's better then Pat the Patriot (what isn't?), but the logo I posted just seems to have more to it then Elvis does, in my opinion.

DustDevil61 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Here's a strong candidate:How the Ravens' Winged-B-Shield or the current logo got picked over this is beyond me.

Seeing as my original pick was already posted, I'd have picked that modified Tigerhawk Iowa was going to roll out several years ago, except whatever backlash was out there was justified, that thing looked awful.

Where did you find it? The one I had was originally around 2001 first time I saw it. I guess they kept it around for some reason. Personally I think it would make a pretty cool center-court logo.

I couldn't agree more, especially considering the current Ravens logo look like a rat with a beak tied onto it's snout, instead of an actual Raven.I did another take on that a good while back...it also baffles me that the Ravens chose not to us this birdhead, or a modified version of it, over what they have now.As far as that winged-shield logo they used to use...did someone say "lawsuit"?? *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Boy Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 As far as that winged-shield logo they used to use...did someone say "lawsuit"?? That winged-shield was a horrible logo, which makes it all the more perplexing that they stole the idea. If you are going to steal someone's design, at least steal a good one.
