Top 25 Sports Team Logos from the ’70s
As a marketing agency, we’ve been involved in some pretty cool branding projects, giving us the opportunity to meld together two of our strongest capabilities – strategy and design.
When it comes to logos, some of the most instantly recognizable ones belong to our favorite sport teams. From soccer to hockey to basketball to football, fanatics spend a pretty substantial amount of time riding the highs and lows of their favorite franchises.
With that in mind, we have compiled 25 of the most clever, quirky and curious professional team logos from the ‘70s, a period of rapid professional league development and far-out design.
