Fifty Epic Sports Logos

A sports logo is just as unique as a fingerprint. There are plenty of factors that come into play during its’ creation including finding a way to showcase the right colors, with the right mascot, and in the correct form. For example, you would not want to have a team from California called the Forest Fires.

One of the easiest ways to grow your fan base begins and ends with the logo. The team logo is more than just an image of a Falcon or a Gator, it is a brand that sells itself, time and time again. Their is trust and loyalty that comes from people being able to identify with a sports brand and that is tough to destroy. Some of the logos can become iconic even.

The New York Yankees, Real Madrid FC, Chicago Cubs, Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, Manchester United, New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers, Chicago Bulls, and Boston Red Sox are some examples of how a great team logo can change the course of sports history.
