Worst Logos in Sports

I'm surprised I haven't hear anything about the Browns. I know all Browns fans love the helmets and the fact the team is named after Paul Brown. But outside northeast Ohio, the helmet, which is the team's logo, doesn't get much love.

So their logo should be what, a dude sitting down to a hearty breakfast of pancakes and Molson?

Well maybe not to that extreme, but some type of logo that when I see it, I think Canada. There are plenty of symbols that could be used. or it could be as simple as a better colour scheme.
Bring back Johnny Canuck.

Also if they're going to complain about the Carolina toilet bowl, why not the Houston jock strap?

Yup. Pretty bleh if you ask me, a Texans fan. But the name itself isn't original either.

Texans.

would be an improvement over the Orcabay whale, although I think he may be kicking around as some secondary or third level logo with the team.
 
I can't believe no one has mentioned the Patriots' Flying Elvis. Just an awful logo.......especially when you consider what it replaced.

The Patriots could have Jesus himself on the side of the helmet and everyone outside of New England would still hate everything about them.

So hating their logo is sort of a given.

well everyone from outside of New England can suck my balls. They're just jealous.....but even Tom Brady can't make the Flyin' Elvis look good.

I think a good logo not only tells you something about a team, but reflects the region it plays in as well. That said, my best logos:
NFL: Steelers
MLB: Brewers (using the Miller Brewing "M" is a nice touch to go with the shaft of barley - though I really liked their old "ball in mitt" log as well)
NBA: The Celtics lepruchaun.
NHL: Tough pick - but I'll go for the St. Louis Blues.

The Blue note is simply awesome. When Harry Ornest was the owner in charge of forking with the franchise (and they all have, except for Shanahan and Checketts), his wife redesigned the jersey for a season. Fail.

Dallas Stars' alternate. And yeah, I agree, it looks exactly like what you think it looks like.
Didn't people call it the "mooterus"?

They apparently have, sort of. But, this being the Canucks, they totally forked it up.

Here's Johnny Canuck from the WHL days. The classic look, if you will, even more so than the rink and stick look that we all know and love (or should, if we don't).

Here's the new Johnny Canuck shoulder logo, unveiled last year. Unfortunately, he was incorporated into a big V in such a way that he now looks like the forking Vachon Cakes logo.

Why do the Vancouver Canucks have to fork up every. thing. that. they. do?
