Best sports logos of all time

[WizardofhOgZ]

Just ran across this.  It's a couple of years old, but the topic is pretty static . . . classic sports logos don't change much over time.

Glad to see that we're one of the few colleges included in this list - as we should be.

The best:

[Doug]

I've reached out to the author to let him know who was responsible for the 1964 logo.

EDIT: Also provided him with the actual 1964 logo, as well.

How did the Chicago Blackhawks not makes the list?.

[dbhog]

Hate to see the Shorthorns in the top 10.

[The_Iceman]

Not on the list? 

[hogcard1964]

We do have a classic.  That's why I despise all of these new look helmets that we have to suffer through every few years.

[Ex-Trumpet]

I always liked this one...

Not on the list? 

Hail to the Redskins!!! +1!

I agree 100%

Nah...If you have to explain it, it loses some of its impact. Like telling a joke you have to explain.

I personally like the Toronto Raptors purple logo. Plus, who couldn't love their mascot:

That logo has always given me Clockwork Orange flashbacks.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Outside of our program, people recognize the Hog - so why mess with it?  Unless anyone really thinks we're going to move up from #3 to #1, it is beyond stupid to screw around with such an iconic brand.

I'll admit up front that I can't back this up with hard proof, but I'd bet that our helmet is among the top 5 most recognizable in all of college football (to a random sampling of "college football fans", regardless of their location or loyalty).  That is, the RED helmet with the white Hog on it that we've used the last 50 years.

The best:

and most arrogant fans on the planet.  Baseball's answer to the Texas Longhorns.  Doesn't everybody realize we are gods chosen and are entitled, LOL>

Obviously doesn't have any native American blood running thru his veins, LOL

Someone has obviously never ventured to the northeast.

[Seebs]

Not a big Hockey fan but I always likied this logo

[Ex-Trumpet]

What's to explain?  Folks still recognize this logo as the Montreal Expos...and they haven't had baseball there in years!

A guy I play softball with played with the Expos. Still wears a hat to batting practice sometimes!

[Biggus Piggus]

[Pig in the Pokey]

Texas, Notre Dame, and Arkansas are the only three college logos on that list. Pretty solid right there.

it's racist tho

good ole johnny, my guy. yeah i know him, too.

[sickboy]

How did the Chicago Blackhawks not makes the list?.

Blackhawks have the best logo ever in my opinion.

[threeNout]

22 professional teams and only 3 college teams,  Arkansas, Texas and Notre Dame,  interesting.

[theFlyingHog]

Wth is Hugo Bezdog?

[jvanhorn]

I always thought that the interlocking OU than Jim McKenzie put on Oklahoma's helmets was classy and classic.  Still do.

When I was a kid, I never could figure out how "elb" stood for Montreal. I figured it was a French Canadian thing. Haha.

I thought he exact same thing. Still made fun of to this day. Finally, I am not alone.

Yes we are. We've earned that respect. I take it you've never attempted to watch a game and carry on a baseball related conversation with a Cub fan inside Wrigley Field? Far and away the most uneducated sports fans in any sport.  "Yea, we've sucked for 110  years, but our stadium used to be nice."

[Albert Einswine]

I love the white helmet with the red Razorback logo. Wouldn't hurt my feelings one bit if we wore it all the time. I like the red helmet, but I've always felt that the white Razorback is weak sauce. Just doesn't convey what the red Hog does.

Far classier than what they had.  And one of the reasons is that it was a copy of OUR helmet design.

And it still is . . . a copy.

[Cinco de Hogo]

I know it's just one guys opinion but it's still an honor to be ranked with those other logo's and it confirms what we already know.

[Sow Lancelot]

and most arrogant fans on the planet.

Yankee fans would disagree. And Reds fans.

[Iwastherein1969]

I can see the Blue Star of Big D and the NY Yankees logo being 1 and 1A...everyone else is just some person's opinion

ad: No matter what you say, no one is indifferent to these two teams. They are either hated or loved but they are the standard by which all other sports organizations are measured. Love'm or hate'm.

[Inhogswetrust]

That IS impressive.

Don't forget the Dodgers and Giants............................

ND is the college version of the love or hate measurement. I've not met a person in between. 

[Dropkick]

Cards fans are definitely the worst IMO.

[bondhue]

it's racist tho

I'm Irish, and though I despise Notre Dame, the mascot is okay. Also, my name is Bill.  Even though my other name is not Buffalo.  Their mascot is okay too.

[Mitch C]

Any list on mascots without Otey the Swamp Possum is not complete.

Agree. One of the best.
