Horses & Horse-Related Logos


TheRealCowboy

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I'm a long time lurker, new time poster. Love the site and am constantly stumbling across fascinating sports logos (especially from the US leagues - I'm from Europe so used to bland sports logos!).

Have been particularly interested in horse logos (best designs I've seen tbh) and am trying to compile a pretty comprehensive list of sports logos involving horses or related in some way to horses - any help in compiling this will be much appreciated!

I was unsure whether or not to include the countless Indians/Braves teams but if I'm going off the logic that Cowboys are included then so should Indians/Braves.

MLB

Cleveland Indians - very loosely related... as in, Native Americans rode horses.

Atlanta Braves - same as above, Native American link.

defunct teams - Boston Braves & Milwaukee Braves

NBA

Dallas Mavericks - doesn't get any more obvious.

defunct teams - Buffalo Braves, Philadelphia Warriors, SF Warriors, Tri-Cities Blackhawks (all the Native American link again)

NFL

Dallas Cowboys - uh hum.

Denver Broncos - duuuuhh.

Indianapolis Colts - horseshoe.

San Diego Chargers

Washington Redskins - so many Native American logos!

defunct teams - Baltimore Colts, Boston Redskins

NHL

Chicago Blackhawks - you get the idea by now.

College

Boise State Broncos

Cal Poly Mustangs

California Davis Aggies

Fairleigh Dickinson Knights

FSU Seminoles

Longwood University Lancers

McNeese State Cowboys

Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders

Murray State Racers

New Mexico State Aggies

Rider Broncos

Rutgers Scarlet Knights

Santa Clara Broncos

Southern Methodist Mustangs

Stetson Hatters - weak link but still.

Texas A&M Aggies

Texas-Pan American Broncos

Western Michigan Broncos

Wyoming Cowboys

Minor Leagues

Charlotte Knights

Gwinnett Braves

Indianapolis Indians

Mississippi Braves

Frisco RoughRiders

Kinston Indians

Rome Braves

Spokane Indians

Danville Braves

Billings Mustangs

Idaho Stampede

Other Sports

Calgary Stampeders

Saskatchewan Roughriders

Milwaukee Iron

You missed the San Diego Chargers

As for the loosely based, I'd disregard that. Stick to definite horse based teams.

Of course I did, thanks!

I'm tempted to remove the loosely based ones like Cowboys, Indians and Braves that don't include horses in their current or previous logos - but then again, a cowboy and a horse are so closely linked.

Cut ties with the Indians and Cowboys and just focus on horses.

Other defunct teams from Arena League, CFL, and WLAF:

Baltimore Stallions

Milwaukee Mustangs

Oklahoma City Wranglers

San Antonio Riders

New York/New Jersey Knights used a chess-piece logo that was based on the knight/horse piece.

Texas Tech and UVA (Virginia) have alternates that use horses. Army used a mule for a long time but I believe uses a horse in one of its current logos. Oklahoma State is more cowboy-based instead of horse based, but it's there if you want to use cowboy logos too. USC's official mascot is a horse (Traveler) but trying to find a logo that includes it is a little tough.

And I have yet to see a Texas A&M logo incorporate a horse or a cowboy...

Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Aggies aren't cowboys so I doubt there would be any horse logos for A&M. Dallas had logos with horses but never one of just a horse. And I would take Indians off there. The only full body logo they had was Chief Wahoo swinging a bat

What about the pony logo that won the Indianapolis Colts logo contest?

You mean...this one?:

I'd put this one in the same category as that full Seahawks mark that you see at the stadium, but isn't really official.

Oh, I guess the one I'm thinking of didn't win, when I thought it did.
