While watching the World Series I realized one thing: both the Indians and Cubs have pretty mediocre logos. This made me think: What are the best logs in the 4 Major Professional Sport Leagues (MLB, NHL, NFL, NBA)? (also this is only the team's primary logo, if this was alternate logos the list would be too hard to make)
25 Milwaukee Brewers
24 Miami Dolphins
23 New Orleans Pelicans
22 Minnesota Timberwolves
21 Atlanta Hawks
20 Charlotte Hornets
19 New York Rangers
18 Vancouver Canucks
17 Atlanta Falcons
16 Toronto Raptors
15 Baltimore Orioles
14 Pittsburgh Penguins
13 Houston Texans
12 Houston Rockets
11 Oakland Raiders
10 Toronto Blue Jays
I’m giving the Jays this spot solely for the retro look they have going on. It looks like it’s straight out of the 70’s and that’s a awesome move by the Jays.
9 Washington Wizards
The wizards have had a rough history with logo, but the new one is great. The Washington monument inside the ball isn’t too blatant, and the star at the center gives it a very patriotic vibe.
8 Pittsburgh Steelers
A logo as old as football itself. There’s not much to say here except for the fact that the using the logo for US Steel for your logo is an expert move.
7 Golden State Warriors
I hate the Warriors, I really do. That being said I love their logo. The Blue and Yellow is a great color combo, and the bridge is so understated that it gives it a retro feel. I particularly love that they chose to use the bay bridge instead of the golden gate bridge.
6 New Jersey Devils
I will admit I am partial to this as a Devil’s fan, but it’s a great logo. The blending of the N and J give it a fluid feel, with the horns and tail playing up the devil theme. I especially like the circle around the logo, as it represents a puck.
5 Colorado Avalanche
I usually am not the biggest fan of putting letters it your logo ( it’s kind of a cop out), but the fact that the A is also a ski mountain makes up for it. I especially like that the avalanche wraps around the A.
4 St. Louis Blues
The music note logo is a great one because when you first look at it it’s not too obvious that it’s a music note. The wing gives it a sense of urgency and makes it visually pleasing.
3 Chicago Blackhawks
When I got the idea of this article, I originally had the Blackhawks as the best logo. The colors compliment each other so well, and the move to go with a friendly looking logo instead of a threatening one is refreshing and unique.
2 Baltimore Ravens
I love the entire shtick of the Baltimore Ravens. Naming the team after Edgar Allen Poe’s most famous poem was a stroke of genius. It’s a fierce logo, yet not too aggressive, and the purple and gold produce a nice royal feel.
1 New York Yankees
Simple, yet elegant. When it comes to an iconic logo the Yankees take the cake by a mile. It’s a logo synonymous with success, dynasties, and sports in general.
