OT: What are the best sport logos/uni's in any sport

[pepband99]

For on the court logos...I've always liked this one

Doubling down on dumb, with that one. Give arms and legs to a bird with teeth. Looks OK, but it representative of the residents of the home state.

You don't think Jonathan XV looks like the logo? I guess you'll call him a "wolf husky" next.

This whole thing is so tired. The. Artist's. Dog. Was. A. Samoyed. The logo looks like a Samoyed. You can complain about the white husky actual mascot (somewhat valid), but the logo isn't even really a question.

Lol, complaining about abandoning 80 years of the tradition of having a white husky mascot is "somewhat valid"? I guess I agree with that in the same way that Donovan Clingan is "somewhat tall."

It's undisputed that the artist based his drawing of a husky on his Samoyed a similar, slightly larger breed. For those who think the logo was "too fluffy" or "too cartoony", I shrug and understand that everybody has their personal preference. But none of that changes, the fact that abandoning 80 years of the tradition of having a white husky mascot, which was unique to this university, was a marketing mistake. That said, it's not going change in the near term.

Jonathan the Husky - University of Connecticut Athletics (Hey AD Dave, this needs an update)

Our first mascot wasn't white. The human based one was named Homer for a while. There may or may not be 15 of them. Things change. The last 2 Jonathan's have been wonderful representatives of our university.

IMHO, the Michigan football uniforms are the best in sports, hands down. Maize and Blue. An elegant simplicity. Winged Helmets. Michigan wore those helmets to give quarterbacks more downfield visibility of receivers (multi colors).

Plus I reluctantly have to admit that Michigan has the best fight song in college sports.

I'm happy we went away from the Samoyed logo, our gear used to be goofy looking. Now I always like rocking my Husky hats. We have one of the best logo's in college sports. It was a great marketing move that went hand in hand with an even more dominant run which solidified us as the best men's basketball program in the sport.

As an ex-coach I really like the NEW Husky logo as it seems more aggressive than the old pure white Husky!
I think a logo of sports teams should show the aggressive side as the athletes are fighting for a victory!
Just MHO!
As Wrestling Coach at East Lyme HS I found a "better" Viking (IMHO) logo than what the school has, an had it on the uniforms etal!

No, he wasn't, but then again he got hit by a car shortly into his tenure. Every other mascot from the second through the 2013 was a white husky, or in at least one case a husky Samoyed mix. That's kind of the point.

Well, i'm not sure how much the logo impacts the national championships, but didn't the men's basketball team actually wear the "goofy" white husky logo for those championships?

Dan Hurley is a white husky guy.

St. Louis Bilikens and Drexel Dragons for their uniqueness.

Nordiques
Blackhawks
Broncos old logo

I recognize signatures for Mike Roger’s, Tommy Abrahamsson, Ron Ryan, Rosaire Paiemont, Danny Arndt, Danny Bolduc, George Lyle. The puck must be from the 1976-1977 season????

Probably. I’d have to look at it closely to be sure. It sits gathering dust on a bookshelf where all my fly tying crap is. I do wish I had all those old WHA programs.

I still think the Whalers logo is the greatest logo in any sport and I'm an Islanders fan. I worked with Peter Good on a calendar about 15 years ago. Great guy. I fanboyed all over him about his logo.
