Top 10 Worst Retro Sports Logos

A logo is what defines a team. From the classic Raiders’ silver and black, eye-patch wearing pirate to the Chicago Blackhawks’ Chief Blackhawk head on their fantastic red jerseys, there are certain logos around the sporting world that have stood the test of time. This list is not for those logos. Yesterday we did the greatest retro logos, these are not these logos. Due to rebranding and the endless quest for people to make more money off of merchandise sales and whatever else, logos change, and in this case, with terrible results. To make this list I simply took logos from the four major American sports just to make it easier, but other than that there are no other rules. They can come from a team that is in their current city, a logo no longer used because the team moved, or even logos for teams that no longer exist anymore. As long the team plays or played in the NFL, NBA, MLB, or NHL and the team no longer uses the logo as their primary one they are fair game. If you get to number seven on this list I commend you because they logos could possibly hurt your eyes. Let’s get into it.

What’s one thing that nobody likes to do?  Hint: the answer is not ‘doing your taxes’ or even ‘taking classes on a Saturday’, because believe it or not, there are actual people who enjoy at least one of those things.  No.  The answer is nobody likes having to dish out cash for something that used to be free!
