That stylized 'N' logo was hideous. I thought they should have just worn the Quebec flag. Essentially have a cross across the middle of the front, with a fleur-de-lis in each quadrant. Simple and classy! The cross and fleur-de-lis would be blue on a white jersey for home, and inverted for the rode uniform.

Just be thankful that the people who suggested that the Washington Nationals "W" should be the Expos "M" (elb) turned upside-down didn't get their way.

FYI: Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Expos)notes that the expos logo is "a stylized M for Montreal, also forming a red E for Expos, and a blue B for baseball, coming together as "Montreal Expos Baseball."

And according to one online acronym finder (http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/English+Language+Bookshop+(Brighton,+UK)), "elb" stands for "Expos le Basebol." I'm not sure that's official, though.

Marcus Garvey

Whatever the 'M' on the Expos hat was supposed to be, I'll miss it. People seem not to notice that MLB pretty much systematically drove down attendance in Montreal to move the team. Back in the late 70's/early 80's, they had respectable attendance. I think I'm going to buy one of those old "tri-color" Expos caps.

Anyway, if we're talking about "cute" logos with multiple meanings, let's not forget the old M-B baseball mitt logo of the Milwaukee Brewers!

The Denver Nuggets have changed color schemes 6 times that I can remember. If you include the Denver Rockets era it would be 8 times.

When they first entered the NBA they were red, white, and blue.
Then went to blue and yellow
Then went to the rainbow uniforms with green trim and green road uniforms
Then the rainbows with blue trim and blue road unifroms
Then navy, red, and gold.
Now light blue and yellow.

As the Denver Rockets they started out as black and orange and then went to purple and yellow before becoming the Nuggets and going to red, white, and blue.

Not that I'm aware of. That reminds me, prior to the Braves reloacting to Atlanta, the minor league franchise there was known as the "Atlanta Crackers!" xlolx xlolx xlolx

From Wikipedia:

Usage of the term "cracker" generally differs from "hick" and "hillbilly" because crackers reject or resist assimilation into the dominant culture, while hicks and hillbillies theoretically are isolated from the dominant culture. In this way, cracker culture is similar to redneck culture. [1]


I wish to apologize to all "hicks," "hillbillies," and to some extent "rednecks" to whom I may have insulted. Apparently the derogatory word I should have been using to insult your un-edge-a-macated arses was "cracker." Boy, do I feel dumb!

The franchise began in the ABA in 1967 as the Denver Rockets and changed to the Denver Nuggets in 1975 when the effort began to join the NBA. They didn't want the name to prevent them from consideration because of the already exsistence of the Houston Rockets.

The team was named Rockets by original owner Bill Ringsby who owned a trucking line called The Ringsby Rockets.

Though it is a transvestite rooster xcoolx , the Blue Hen represents Delaware well because of its history. The Chanticleer doesn't represent the coast, nor our athletics well. Last I checked, running away from a fox isn't fierce by any means. The Chanticleer was fooled by the fox to crow and then almost eaten by the fox. Once his wife, Pertelote, uses her wit, not his, to get him out of a jam, he buggers off into a tree. To me, after reading the Nun's Priest's Tale, the Chanticleer is not only stupid but a coward as well. Why the school tries to hide those facts and change what the character really is is a mystery to me. xreadx GO COCKS!!! xrolleyesx

The colors are not quite right on that logo for the San Francisco Warriors. It was more of a gold than a yellow. As a kid, I thought that logo looked pretty good on the Warriors' jerseys. They were the jerseys they wore when Wilt Chamberlain played in San Francisco and later on when a young Rick Barry came to the Warriors. They made a couple of NBA finals wearing those uniforms.

Tampa Bay Bucs - orange/white to red/gold

Houston Astros - orange/red/white to red/black/white
San Diego Padres - black/gold to blue/orange to blue/white
The LA Kings original uniforms were some of the ugliest in the history of sports, complete with a huge crown logo in the middle. The purple ones were exceptable, the yellow ones were absolutely horrendous. The Oakland-based California Golden Seals, who were owned by Charles Finley, had green and gold uniforms that reminded one of the Oakland A's of the same era. They were also pretty bad.

In baseball, nothing is worst than the rainbow uniforms that the Houston Astros wore. They have changed colors from black, to navy blue, to red, to orange, to rainbow, back to orange and finally to red and black again. They also changed their original name from the Houston Colt 45s (with a cool smoking gun logo), to the Astros, when they moved into the Astrodome.

A close second in baseball's ugliest contest was the San Diego Padres gold and brown in their early years. The Padres have been so bad and have changed uniform styles so many times, at times their hats and jerseys didn't match colors.

Anyone remember those black uniforms the White Sox wore in the 1970s, with the wide collars and the short pants?

Worst football uniforms of all time were those recent Nike-creations of the Oregon Ducks.

Those names make mediocrity acceptable. If the Phillies won 82 games, it was a damn good year.


Too true...xsmhx

BTW, I really dislike when franchises change their color schemes, but sometimes it works out OK. The Capitals just announced that they are going back to red, white and blue. I actually did like their change to the black, gold and blue so they matched the Wizards. I haven't seen the new unis, but at least they can't be worse than the original ones.
That Capitals recently announced that they will unveil their new unis during the NHL draft....I think sometime in June.

If you ask me...the ABA had some of the best "old-school" logos:
New Orleans Buccaneers

The LA Kings original uniforms were some of the ugliest in the history of sports
Oh man the yellow on yellow were atrocious. I remember being at a Flyers-Kings game when I was young and sitting next to a woman wearing a Kings jersey and they were in the all yellow that day (they had several variations like the Padres and Pirates of the day). Even as a kid I rode her arse all day about the pajama clad Kings suggesting they maybe should have been called the Queens. Hey, I was being raised a Philly fan. :D

Hockey jerseys have become just insane with the past ten years or so. They've become showcases for bizarre graphics and other needlessly far-out designs.

Only in the minors, but even they don't hold a candle to the European hockey unis.

I wouldn't even watch a sport with that much advertising. It's like basically making the statement that the sport isn't worth enough to stand on it's own so they'll just sell out at all costs.

Yeah, but I think all but one of those jerseys is a promotional jersey.

Well, is it really any better than the Dallas and Houston Texans? It's pretty much the same thing.

And BTW, you images aren't showing up on here because the sports logo website doesn't allow outside linking.

But I think you meant this logo:
