Incredible Pro Sports Logo Concepts

By Carson on October 19, 2009

Maybe I just watch too much Sports Center, but I’m slowly getting tired of the logos of some major sports teams. The Cleveland Browns, for example, don’t even have a logo.

I have collected the following logos that have been done in honor of some major professional sports teams – these logos are not in use, although some of them definitely should be.

I will also say, without a doubt, this Vancouver Canucks logo is probably the best sports logo I have ever seen – see the discussions about it here.

Vancouver Canucks

New Jersey Devils

Dallas Stars

Tampa Bay Lightning

Toronto Maple Leafs

Toronto Maple Leafs

Colorado Avalanche

Colorado Avalanche

Florida Panthers

Nashville Predators

Detroit Red Wings

Detroit Red Wings

Philadelphia Flyers

Philadelphia Flyers

Buffalo Sabers

Chicago Blackhawks

Detroit Lions

Oakland Raiders

Minnesota Vikings

Minnesota Timberwolves

New York Mets

Take a look at some more hockey logos at PuckDrawn.com – some of you Leaf fans may be surprised by how good these options look.

    Although there are some really nice logos here, I’m not a fan of the Leafs one. It looks like the Leaf is “shattered” (ahem, kind of like the team right now…) but I don’t think that’s a good message to be portraying.

  2. I agree, the Leafs logo is pretty bad.

    Most of these are awesome with the exceptions of the Leafs, Red Wings, Flyers and Raiders. New York is well done but too childish.

    I find it interesting that sports logos are always solid color without any gradients, however I noticed the subtle gradients in the Canucks and Vikings logos. I wonder how well the gradients would print. I can’t see them working on a uniform.

    Yea the Leaf one isn’t great, but I thought I’d throw it in there anyways. Becky, you couldn’t be more correct about the team right now, so maybe it is fitting.

    Mike, I guess you don’t remember these old Canuck jerseys with the gradient, it was an eyesore to say the least – http://www.icejerseys.com/images/jerseys_alt/canucks_big.jpg

  4. [...] TSN.ca is holding a vote to see who has the best mask in the National Hockey League. I thought this would go well with my earlier post about some Incredible Pro Sports Logo Concepts. [...]

    someone stole your blackhawks logo and is printing t’s and making money from your design. :/ not cool

    That red wings logo is the worst thing I have ever seen and it is making me angry you would even think of that piece of shit as a logo. ALthough some of your other ones are good, the canucks one mostly, the original six ones are just awful. These would be great for cartoons, but not hockey jerseys
