Logos that should swich colors on home, away, alt. uniforms


Rays

Recommended Posts

Even though all 4 pro leagues have home, away, and alternate jerseys, the logo on them is for the most part the same, no colors really swiches places, but sometimes it would look alot better if they did.

An example is the Chicago Bulls shorts, the bulls on the shorts disappear on the white and black shorts due to the red bull on a red background, should be a black bull insted imo

.

are there other uniforms where a logo would look better if the colors were reversed / different ?

Primary logos should remain the same color in all but the most extreme circumstances. It's your primary defining mark. The Maple Leafs would be an example of an extreme circumstance where it's ok to have a different primary logo dependent on background. Kinda sorta maybe a little the blues too.

That is fairly common in hockey (historically, anyway) and it makes sense as it's often better than putting a circle around the logo or something. I suppose the flames could go black on both crests. The North Stars may have had more of a "Leafs" situation. It is probably less of an issue in other sports, though.

maybe not what you are looking for, but how about in 1990 when the falcons switch from red helmets to black helmets but kept the falcon logo black

The Falcons and their helmets were the first team that came to mind. The old logo looked so much better on the red helmet and the current one would, too.

The Mets did this during the black era.

Not sure I agree about the Bulls. I've seen plenty of Bulls merchandise with that faux throwback Windy City logo in black... doesn't do it for me.

Red on red is okay for a team whose playoff motto is "See Red."

Auburn has 3 different AU logos in sense of coloring.

The Bulls used to use a "negative" logo on their home shorts in the late 60s-70s (apologies for the crappy photo, I'll try and find a better one later):

No, it was a white bull with either red or black horns, depending on the season.

I don't like any Bulls logo that messes with the colors. Red on red may not be perfect, but it's better than anything else.

I also like the black C on the Flames jerseys. Probably an unpopular opinion, but red, yellow, and black looks better than just red and yellow if done right.

The Bruins did it as recently as 1995. The logo was a black B with yellow spokes on the home jersey, a yellow B with black outlines and black spokes on the road jersey. The redesign of the logo for the 95-96 season eliminated the need for the color switch as the crest became equally visible on both home and road jerseys.

thanks for the replys........... ah yes, the flames, the C should be white or yellow on the red jersey, right ?

it should be white with a gold and black border. I never like the black C, much prefer the white C on the red jersey.

You mean this?

Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game. They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Then the Flames are not doing it right.

I think this was the best the Flames have ever looked.
