Had a discussion with some buddies about the worst logo changes in history….
Some we came up with.

The Gator Bowl went from these



To this POS.


Also frequently bought up was…




This movement to lifeless, minimalistic branding is horrible.

A Gator Bowl with no gator mascot in the logo is no Gator Bowl at all.

The second logo was very good.

The Rams new logo and uniforms are amazing. Best job I've ever seen of modernizing classics.

NO voluntarily going from the iconic Hornets brand and colours to yet another tired "fierce bird" with navy and red is def one of the worst branding decisions in recent American history (regardless of industry).

Those new rams uniforms look like uniforms that would be used for a generic football team in a Walmart advertisement to sell soda and chips during football season.

If they had kept the same colours and classic uniforms the logo wouldn't be that bad. It's the gay looking unis that are the problem.

The Astros going from the 1977-93 logo to the 1994-99 crap.

Rebranding in 2013 was great though.

The gold and navy wasn't that bad, a downgrade but not a bad change. I'm surprised you bring up that logo instead of the actual worst logo the Astros have evet had, which is the 2000-2012 brick red junction jack years logo.

The blue collar appeal for a team called "the Astros" was an odd match. I get why they wanted a blue collar appeal for a blue collar city, but it never really fit for me.

Apparently it’s hit soccer badges particularly bad.

I dont Mind cleaning up an old logo but you’re see a lot of character get dropped and too many teams moving to a lame arias word script.

Christ, people. Can you keep this vile Politard shite off the MSB just one freaking time?

Remember that time you hated Gus Johnson as an announcer because he’s back?

The jerseys look good.

But if you have an animal mascot, it needs to be used in your logo.

You can go in any of these three directions. Teams have been successful with each of these, but you need an animal mascot.

1. Natural looking (Chicago Cubs, old school Detroit Tigers, original Jacksonville Jaguars)

2. Fearsome (Memphis Grizzlies, the non-toonces LSU logo)

3. Cute/playful and preferably playing the sport (Milwaukee Bucks, old Miami Dolphins)

Any of these three can work although 3 has the most room for error.

I agree that it was idiotic to ever take orange out of the color scheme, but I can’t help but have a soft spot for the navy and gold. Those were my formative years, didn’t know any better.

The 2013 reboot worked out perfectly though.

The traditional Rams unis and color scheme is one of the best. Way better than their St. Louis days.

But there is something off about the quality. They look like they’re off the Walmart rack and the numbers are about to peel off.
