Classic Team Logo of the Day

The original logo of the Cincinnati Bengals football team, who were an American Football League expansion team added to the league in 1967. Paul Brown, legendary NFL coach of the Cleveland Browns who had been fired from that post prior to the 1964 season, was part of the ownership group and its’ inaugural coach and … Read More

The American Basketball Association logo of the New York Nets, who made news by signing NBA star Rick Barry to a contract and also later acquiring phenom Julius “Dr. J” Erving in a trade with the financially strapped Virginia Squires. Actually the team kept this logo when it entered the NBA along with other ABA teams … Read More

The logo of the Cleveland Barons NHL team, which played in the league from 1976 through 1978.  The Barons were relocated to Cleveland from Oakland, where they entered the league as the Oakland Seals in 1967 and later became the California Golden Seals. They ran into financial trouble in Cleveland after only 2 seasons and eventually … Read More

One of the all-time classics when it comes to logos, the logo of the 27 time World Champion New York Yankees baseball team. I’ve never been a Yankee fan but you have to respect a franchise with the 27 titles, 40 pennants and an honor roll of Hall of Fame players and managers that this … Read More

A couple of early logos of the New York Giants football team. The giant QB in the logo doesn’t have a facemask so the logos are probably from the early 1950s. It looks like they switched to a left-handed giant quarterback somewhere along the line.

The logo of the Minneapolis Lakers, who played in Minnesota from 1947 until 1960 and were the forerunners for the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers. Their star player, George Mikan, dominated the league and was voted as one of the top 50 NBA players of all time.

The logo of the New England Whalers of the old World Hockey Association. The team’s biggest claim to fame was signing NHL legend Gordie Howe and his sons, Mark and Marty, to contracts in 1977. They also won the WHA’s version of the Stanley Cup – the Avco World Trophy – in the 1972-73 season. … Read More

Original logo of the old Kansas City Athletics baseball team, before they were relocated to Oakland. I never understood what this logo was all about. My only guess is that any elephant that can balance himself on a large baseball must be athletic, even if his batting stance is pretty terrible.

  The Green Bay Packers’ “alternate” logo during their heyday as Titletown, USA, from 1961-1967 when Vince Lombardi coached them to 5 NFL championships in 7 years, including wins in the first 2 Super Bowls.

This is the logo of the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs, which has remained the same since the team’s inception in the old American Basketball Association. The old ABA Spurs, led by the “Ice Man” George Gervin, one of basketball’s best pure shooters ever, played an exciting run and gun style of offense which was common … Read More
