dirwuf Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Have we ever seen the modern Cubs logo with the "UBS" in blue like this before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitz Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Sorry, I can't seem to insert the pic here:http://desmond.yfrog.com/Himg619/scaled.php?tn=0&server=619&filename=obfug.jpg&xsize=640&ysize=640Have we ever seen the modern Cubs logo with the "UBS" in blue like this before?It's because Epstein aquired UBS as the official banking sponsor of the Chicago Cubs as soon as he signed on, all the Cubs logos are gonna look like that now...No, that was totally made up - probably just a screw up at the sign shop...

Cujo Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 As far as Cubs logos go, I wish they'd just use the "walking cub" as their primary logo and on uniforms, reture the "UBS" logo, and call it good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambulance Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 As a Cubs fan, I love the "UBS" logo and think it needs to be more prominent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't like that walking cub logo, and I wish they'd just use the "ubs" logo.However, if they were to bring back one of these, (logo 1) (logo 2) then that would be awesome.Oh, and as for the variation posted above, I actually like the look of it.

It's miles better than the walking cub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 There are no good Cubs alternates involving bears. Just use the flag of the city of Chicago on the sleeves and only use the primary or cap logo. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinmets Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I feel like there was a similar thread a few months ago or more, with a similar parking sign for a Cubs employee with that same logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I think the Cubs' home uniform is overrated and honestly pretty ugly. The "UBS" logo is really, really bad, and looks like a gas station logo. And getting rid of the thick blue sleeve trim was a big mistake.As for the "Cuba" script, I have never once read it as anything other than "Cubs", and I think it looks great.

CS85 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I wish they'd bring the red bill back to the road alts. I don't know why they got rid of it in the first place, always looked fantastic. The uniform they have to ditch is the blue softball team alternate. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

Cubs went back to the UBS logo in 1937. Cubs home unis (and logo) are just as untouchable.Now, if they decided to put the "Cuba" script (which I also have always read as "Cubs") on the blue jersey like in the early '90s, I'm all for that.

The_Admiral Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I have grown up pretty well saturated with the Chicago Cubs logo, so of course I see nothing wrong with it. I think the home whites are outstanding: pinstripes are a classic baseball motif, royal blue and red together are about as pure a color combination as you can have, the hat is a classic, and the curvy numbers rather than athletic block are a neat little bit of the same timeless modernism seen in the Bears. No reason to change. Sometimes I wonder if the blue cuffs should come back, but I don't think they lend themselves to today's looser fit. There should be a blue alternate, but with the Cubs primary and only in road games. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Sleeve trim on pinstripe uniforms look extremely amateurish and 70's-80's-garish. Flat out ugly. Their home uniforms absolutely do not need to be altered except maybe swapping sleeve patches. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'm surprised so many Cubs fans dislike the walking cub logo. It's one of my favorite logos in all of baseball.

doctorpeligro Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I also don't care for the walking cub logo. I prefer the cub head logo, which would look especially good on a road jersey if done correctly:Perhaps combined with this mark on the front: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I honestly don't see what's up with the hate about the Cubs logo/jerseys. I think they've got one of the better looks in baseball.
