the Blazers do not have a Mountain Lion mascot. It's like saying the Seattle Mariners have a stupid logo (compass) because they have a mosse mascot. The Blazers created "Blaze" around 2000 and it really is a poor attempt to coordinate with "Trail Blazers", which of course has nothing to do with fire but rather the pioneers that traveled the Oregon Trail. The logo is unique and stands out.

that Brownie logo is awesome, they should be using that more, definitely doesnt belong on this list

The Browns and Tampa logo are suh-weet, revise your list dude.

just wondering where you got thei nformation of the sox usign that logo, i'm pretty sure that was never worn, heres the hall of fames uniform website with the sox from 1950-1959 http://exhibits.baseballhalloffame.org/dressed_to_the_nines/uniforms.asp... they never wore that

In the pantheon of terrible logos, one can not look past the flaming headed chess piece of the Teal-era Detroit Pistons. Also, you can't hate on the Bucs logo.

That Blazers logo rocks. Simplicity is not a bad thing. You need to brush up on your modern art. The Nuggets logo is also unique. It may be weird, but it gets people's attention. There are so many other convoluted logos or safe logos out there that make no impact whatsoever.

That logo rocks....take it off this list now.

I want to see what you think the best logos from past and present are

Good list. Everyone can agree that the Hartford Whalers had the best logo of all time.

The Brownie is a great logo.

But how does the Detroit Piston logo from 1996 to 2001 not make the list. A turquoise horse with baby blue and red. Come on. That's awful.

They've had that pinwheel since their inception, and its the best logo in sports. The fact that it has nothing to do with Trail Blazers is irrelevant. The logo is unique but not gaudy. For a truly bad logo, how about Duke or Disney flying wing Anaheim Angels logo.

I'm pretty sure you don't have to wear the logo to have the image as your logo. I mean, the Celtics don't wear the leprechaun on their jerseys but it's still their logo.

The logo's chin is big because IT'S A SOCK!

If you want some more recent logos, look at the past two that have been used by the Houston Rockets. The current one looks as if someone is making a blood sacrifice to the bball gods, and the older one looks like a bad 90's kiddie program that uses talking hand puppets.

The older one, if you don't remember, had a rocket orbiting around a basketball. Said rocket came complete with a red triangular mouth and small, pointy teeth. The rationale for the mouth was that they wanted to tie in the look of the IHL Houston Aeros hockey team with the logo of the Rockets. WHY?!?!?!

Not just Legos... Gay Pride Legos!

Enough said... no one else sees the 69?

Where did you get all these logos?

I always liked the Bucs logo. It was the color that was horrible. Their new logo looks like
a Raider alternate logo. Worst logo in the NFL has to be the Titans. They should update.

Most of these are pretty good, especially in comparison to minor league logos. Have you looked up the infamous Canton Ice Patrol logo?

Nothing wrong with Brownie the elf

the reason people hated the Islanders logo was not because the fisherman was tanned. it was because it looked like the frickin Highlander fishstick logo.

Suave is spelled S-U-A-V-E. Why not call the Pirate "De Bonair"? lol

Looks like Gordon Fisherman, the fishstick guy. Every time the team came out the crowd thought, "Trust a Gordon's Fisherman.

Little known fact: In addition to representing the five players of each team facing off to begin the game, the Blazers pinwheel is also stylistic representation of actual signs used to mark portions of the Oregon Trail.

Blaze is not a mountain lion, he's a "trail cat." Whatever the heck that is.

How many teams have logos with no words, no drawings, no city skyline, etc. that are as easily identifiable as the pinwheel? The only thing wrong with the pinwheel is that it should be untilted to it's origoinal orientation. UNTILT THE PINWHEEL!

Hooked on the game of Tetris? I think a better reference would have been Atari's "Breakout". Tetris use 5 or so irregular shapes, not uniform blocks like Breakout - more akin to the Nugget's logo. Besides, Tetris didn't come out until 1985 (Breakout - 1976).

How about the Seattle Sonics logo...wait, there are no Seattle Sonics..

I think that the worst logo/jersey of all time are the ugly old Houston Astros of old. Not only is it a lame star with an H embroidered on it, but it cames with the dumbest color combo ever.

this is absolute garbage based solely on the fact that u have the blazers on here. You must be mistaken with "best logos in sports"

LMAO inventorspot?

i second that - i work with sports logos every day and that's one of my favorites - retro and just generally awesome.

No discussion of bad sports logos is complete without mention of the Winnipeg Jets' "Picasso smiley face" logo of the 70s & 80s.

Other dishonorable mentions: the Vancouver Canucks "streaking skate" logo of the 80s; the Toronto Raptors' purple dinosaur logo, the Phoenix Coyotes' cubist dog logo of the mid-90s and pretty much every logo from the XFL.

I disagree with the inclusion of Brownie, the Blazers so-old-it's-retro logo and anything from the 1910s-20s.

Good concept, poor research, and questionable choices. Not bad for an aspiring journalist, but in a world of a million best/worst lists you just gotta do better than this. Biggest misses: Blazers, Browns, Biggest Hits: Tigers, Islanders (but for the wrong reason)

Bucco Bruce is awesome, The Brownie is Wicked awesome. And the blazer logo is simple, odd, and doesn't make sense....just like Portland politics....but it's still not a "worst logo"

I think the all time worst logo was the one used between 1942-1949 of the Ithaca Troll Pigeons. Yeesh, what were they thinking off with the two funny looking Piegons sitting on top a wooden crossing arm with confused looks on their faces. Them birds looked as if they were constipated. I was happy when the team changed their name to the West Ithaca Irish Smugglers in 1950 right before I went off to Korea. Them piegons still scare the crap ot of me 60-years later.

What about the Detroit Lions logo?
It just looks like a blue blob!

And Brownie is a cool logo as well as the Buc.

Nonsense, most North American sports logos are a pitty to look at, with a small few exceptions. These logos fail in comparison to that of the GAA with tradional looking crests of great clubs such as Antrim, Cork, Donegal and Roscommon. Take a llok for yeeselfs on their official websites you bloking barnstormies!.

There are many great logos in North America that range from the Montreal Canadiens, Montreal Canadiens, Boston Red Sox and Indianapolis Colts. Don't be so hard on these logos, they are classics here on this side of the pond!

What's funny is that your rensition of the 1916 Cubs logo is far worse than what was actually used on the uniform and sweaters.

A logo that always repulsed me was that of the Alexandria Galloping Loons. It looked Like Foghorn Leghorn participating in a 100m dash. Thankfully, that team folded long ago.

Úrvalsdeild has the greatest logo ever. It is that of a viking clubbing an sea otter over the head with wooden spiked club. The crest is where with pride all over Iceland. We are vikings!

What about the Bengals' helmets? Come on stripes? What a horrible idea or a horrible franchise. How about black jail stripes for this year's helmet.

I think the worst logo of all time is the Amsterdam Bulldog Ballers. It looked like a bulldog was catching a basketball that looks like it is coming out of a human asshole. It is truly a basket ball being bounced in the center of a basketball court, but the way it is drawn, the basketball court is almost in a shockwave effect because (I guess) how hard the bulldog is bouncing the ball. Because of this, the "shockwaved" basketball court looks like two butt cheeks, and the center circle of the basketball looks like the rectum. Really retarded.

Don't you tell me to hush. The last man who told me to do that laid in hospital bed for 2 days from strong swift kick to the gulk. He told me this doring the Cork-Monhagan match a few years ago. You bet he never utter another word to me after that encounter!

I will have to say that the logo is a classic, has not change much since 1970 and has stood the test of time; really, they are the only NBA team in the Pacific Northwest. The simple logos are sometimes the best. I have to say the all time worst NBA logos were the Toronto Raptors, Vancouver Grizzlies, Detroit Pistons (teal era), Houston Rockets & the Ft. Wayne Zolloner Pistons' robot logo.

I have to say that the Vatican City Fighting Popes is one heck of a logo! However, is the sillouehtte that of Pius XI, John XXIII or John Paul II kicking the soccer ball? Does anyone have an answer? Please, I have dinner riding on this bet with my wife.

It looks like a Scottie dog! And, oh, the depressed tiger.

The Fighting Pope's logo is in fact Paul VI. The logo was created in 1969 during his time of his papacy. Paul was an avid soccer player who entertained a career in thehe sport before he joined the priesthood.

I am a Blazer fan, let's get that out of the way. However even if it wasn't my team I would still appreciate the Blazers pinwheel logo. It's unique yet simple, looks great on merchandise and represents the spirit of the city.

You just have no taste. To say it's a top 10 worst logo is beyond hyperbole. At worst it's in the middle of the pack. I say top 10 NBA logo at least.

It sure beats the crap out of every generic animal logo out there.

hey wats up

the cubs rule
