Worst Sports Logos

[Pasi Nurminen]

But it looks like it's crashing through glass instead of water!

Or perhaps ice? You know, that thing covering hockey playing surfaces? Ice tends to shatter when hit with a sufficiently powerful impact. It's an orca done in pseudo-native American style crashing through ice.

How's a whale going to crash through rink ice if when there's a bunch of concrete and pipes underneath?

 

[Pasi Nurminen]

It's Robo-dog! And the first four seasons the Dogs had him as their logo, they managed an impressive 17-220-17-8 record.

The plan to blind the opposition failed.

How does an angry zamboni relate to Blades?

Because in the wild there are no concrete or pipes beneath ice? For Christ's sake, do I have to spoon feed this stuff to you people?

 

[TheBladeRoden]

Well I think if a whale is likely to crash through rink ice it is also capable of crashing through those glass panels on the side. But I think the real question is WTH do whales and non-naturally occuring Canucks have to do with teachother.

 

[sysyphus]

The reason for the whale is that the Canucks are owned by Orca Bay Sports and Entertainment.

Seriously, the Canucks have always had great uniforms, this one is just disappointing in my eyes.

I don't like Calgary or Toronto but by no means do I think they have bad logos.

I've wondered about the Calgary logo. Didnt the team used to be the Atlanta Flames? Wouldn't it have been fitting to change their name, seeing as Calgary is well...cold?

 

[pboily]

Atlanta Flames refered to the fire caused by the Union rampage through Georgia.

I always thought Calgary used the flame in a burning oil kind of way, although I am not even sure oil is produced near Calgary.

And unfortunately, this abomination will be playing for the Memorial Cup.

There was a poll and fans in the city decided to keep the name.

Oil is produced in Fort McMurray, which is probably at least a 15 hour drive from here. However, Calgary is where the oil companies put their offices/headquarters. And also, Flames is a great name for Calgary, as then we get to burn the Oilers.

Also, don't forget the Olympic flame, which is another way to make the name make sense.

I think I'll start watching hockey just to get all your crazy hockey speak Go Stars!

I don't know why, but seeing that hand daintily tip what looks like a bomb into a basketball hoop makes me laugh

I don't whether to hate or love this little guy, but one thing is clear...he is not all there in the head.

Some mascots are not meant to be humanized, the Pistons are one of them

Cool, old colonial guys playing basketball! I don't know how that relates to the Knicks though. They should have used shorts with eyes and mad dribbling skills.

For the record Oil is produced from wells all over Alberta. Calgary has been the headquarters of our Oil and Gas industry for decades.
Fort McMurray has only recently become the hotspot thanks to improved technology and higher prices making it much more profitable to extract it from the Oilsands.

Here is a rather large map showing oil and gas wells. But I'm not sure how old it is.

Well Fort Mac is the symbolic center.

And I doubt many people outside of Alberta have ever heard of the Cold Lake or Wabasca Oil Sands.

Anyways, some more bad logos

London Knights 1993-2002

Rimouski Oceanic (The Titanic gets it's revenge!)

Wheeling Nailers

Erie Panthers

Mobile Mysticks (First, Mysticks doesn't have a k. Second, what does a dragon have to do with Mystics?)

No, they're not. Please stop spamming up this thread just because you don't like a couple of teams. I don't like Calgary or Toronto but by no means do I think they have bad logos.

Pasi, I never like you, and I continue to see why. You accuse people of spamming when they're someone's serious opinions. Get a life.

OH NOES SOMEONE ON TEH INTERNETS DOESN'T LIKE ME WHATEVER WILL I DO!?!?!!!!oneone!!!one

This thread isn't about anyone's personal opinions, they're about logos/jerseys that are by some kind of general consensus ugly. That means that if you personally find a logo ugly, and it's generally considered to be good looking, it doesn't belong in this thread. Ie. the Dallas Cowboys logo. I have yet to meet anyone who thinks it is a bad logo, and I've met a lot of NFL fans. So yes, you are spamming up this thread, and stop it.

Anyways, enjoy the points!

Pasi, this is a site where a user is entitled to their own opinions. My opinion is that they're ugly. Be a bigger man, and stop acting like a 4-year old. At least Azale had the maturity to not act like a 4-year old, and he's a Cowboys fan. Also, let's look at the OP, or can you not read?

Give it a read. And share some of your least-favorite logos.

Hmm, did I not post my least-favorite logos? Stop trolling me and spamming up this thread, I want to see some more terrible logos.

Back on topic.

Houston Rockets
WTH? You call that a logo? It's more like a monogram. Lame.

Hey that Jurassic Park movie was pretty popular 2 years before we got an NBA team (1995), let's name our team after the dinosaurs in it!
What? Velociraptors are from Asia, not North America? Who cares?

That is a basd logo and team name that's for sure.

Even worse, SkyDome was nearly named the "ET Phone Home Dome". SkyDome was a bad name too, but we really dodged a bullet with that one.

[ParkCungHee]

No, that's an Elf, and his name is Brownie, the Cleveland Browns mascot, and he'll kick your a$$ if you talk trash about him. The dude may be small, but he can bring it!

And the Brown in the Browns name is from Legendary coach Paul Brown, whom the team was named after.

Wouldn't his name imply that he is, in fact, a brownie, and not an elf?
