Minnesota Twins Logo
“What about this Minnesota Twins logo used in different versions from 1966 to 1986? Twin baseball players representing the cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul are seen shaking hands over the Mississippi against a blue background bordering the state of Minnesota. The style, the colors, the stars on the i’s of Win! and Twins! more reminiscent of a balloon gum wrapper than the uniform of a professional team. And a slogan? In a logo? “

IMAGE PROVIDED BY THE LYNX
Toronto Lynx Logo
“If Montreal football fans are absolutely keen on the return of the Impact and the shield logo, on the other side of the 401, we hastened to forget as quickly as possible the horrible logo of the Toronto’s former professional soccer team, the Lynx, which inexplicably roamed the Queen City lawns starting in 1997 in the A-League. Unprecedentedly ridiculous, the first version of the logo gives the impression that it was fashioned by a preschool child who is hastily congratulated for his “great effort”. Aware of the disaster of the thing (and of the unprecedented affront to all the feline species it represented), the owners doubled the stake in 2003 with a new version of the logo that achieves the impossible: a logo just as laughable and stunning, a sort of “Lynx -2.0” displaying what appears to be either an albino vampire cat, or a kitty who is “in need of bits” – which has earned the team the affectionate nickname and politically incorrect of “retarded cats” at the time. The team has since disappeared, but the saga of the Lynx and its dysfunctional logos remains a powerful symbol that reminds us of a fundamental principle that Montrealers have all lived with their teams at one time: in professional sport, you can ALWAYS do worse. “

“The logo of the deceased Draveurs de Trois-Rivières of the QMJHL. Horrible. “

“I find the first Buffalo Bills logo ugly, a big bloody stain that represents a quite still bison probably grazing. I understand that the Bills couldn’t make it to the Super Bowl with such a logo. Another logo that I find insignificant is the pair of Red Sox socks. A pair of stockings! How can a pair of socks inspire someone? Huh Ti-Bas? In any case, red stockings seem more inspiring than white stockings. “

Minnesota Fighting Saints Logo
“What a Pandora’s Box have you just opened. Even though all tastes are in nature, let us be thankful for the law of natural selection. Thanks to this, the generations which succeeded the defunct World Hockey Association have never had to endure their (too) many logos, which were certainly the result of the substance abuse of the 70s. But since ‘a choice must be made … my vote will go to the Fighting Saints of Minnesota. A not very athletic “angel” with the head of the evil Chucky doll. But why ? “
– Alain Bachini
“The solution to avoid ending up on the list of the ugliest logos? Do not have a logo! Like the Cleveland Browns. Must say that when your name is the Browns … (sigh). “
– Guy Régnier
“AN ORANGE FOOTBALL HELMET! Do I really need to clarify the Cleveland Browns? One need only look at the history of their logo to see that their budget was never used in logo design. “

Logo of the Caribous of Quebec
“I still think of the logo of the Quebec Caribous of the National Lacrosse League … The choice of colors is very A&W …”

“In my opinion, the Nashville Predators logo is an atrocious color. Looks like the same paint used on school buses. Really ugly! “
– Yves Forget
“The ugliest? Without a doubt that of CF Montreal. My opinion would have been different, of course, if the Montreal soccer team were called the “Snowflakes” … ”

Texas Christian University Horned Frogs Logo
“All of the logos look good next to the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs logo. I would say the same for the name. “

“For me, it’s definitely the one of the Milwaukee Brewers! “

California Golden Seals Logo
“Awful Logos: You Forget California Golden Seals!” “

“The newest Vancouver Canucks logo. A big C (for Canucks) which forms a sort of bug that is impossible to identify. The lower part is reminiscent of an electric ray and the upper part of a curious hybrid of animal, machine and fish. Fins that look like airplane wings (we should leave that to the Jets), a head that looks more like a feline than a fish and the teeth of a vegetarian: what does it eat in winter? What amazes even more than the design of this logo is the fact that it has been adopted and is still in use. Roll on the backlash on the ice! “
