TheRealCowboy Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 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.MLBCleveland Indians - very loosely related... as in, Native Americans rode horses.Atlanta Braves - same as above, Native American link. defunct teams - Boston Braves & Milwaukee Braves NBADallas Mavericks - doesn't get any more obvious.defunct teams - Buffalo Braves, Philadelphia Warriors, SF Warriors, Tri-Cities Blackhawks (all the Native American link again)NFLDallas Cowboys - uh hum.Denver Broncos - duuuuhh.Indianapolis Colts - horseshoe.San Diego ChargersWashington Redskins - so many Native American logos!defunct teams - Baltimore Colts, Boston RedskinsNHLChicago Blackhawks - you get the idea by now.CollegeBoise State Broncos Cal Poly Mustangs California Davis Aggies Fairleigh Dickinson Knights FSU SeminolesLongwood 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 BroncosWyoming CowboysMinor LeaguesCharlotte KnightsGwinnett BravesIndianapolis IndiansMississippi BravesFrisco RoughRidersKinston IndiansRome BravesSpokane IndiansDanville BravesBillings MustangsIdaho StampedeOther SportsCalgary StampedersSaskatchewan RoughridersMilwaukee Iron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk36 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 You missed the San Diego ChargersAs for the loosely based, I'd disregard that. Stick to definite horse based teams. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealCowboy Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 You missed the San Diego ChargersAs 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.

Brass Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 What about the pony logo that won the Indianapolis Colts logo contest? On 4/10/2017 at 3:05 PM, Rollins Man said: what the hell is ccslc? Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Cut ties with the Indians and Cowboys and just focus on horses.Other defunct teams from Arena League, CFL, and WLAF:Baltimore StallionsMilwaukee MustangsOklahoma City WranglersSan Antonio RidersNew 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. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 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   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornettored Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 The Milwaukee Iron renamed themselves the Mustangs last year. Two really obscure minor league teams that I remember : the IPFL's Idaho/Boise Stallions, aka the first indoor team to have a grass playing field, and the Lewiston Broncs.

TruColor Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 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.

Mr. Aware Eagle Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 The Birmingham Stallions, from the long-defunct USFL. I wasn't alive to see this team play, but I have a t-shirt with this logo on it and I love it. Yes, I root for teams all over the place. And I apparently favor birds.
