Defunct Team Logos

So your favorite team went out of business years ago and your last team logo shirt has made its way to the rag drawer. What is a fan to do? Well you could visit Section219 and buy a new one. Yep, a website that sells shirts for defunct teams. Just browsing the logos brought back a lot of "I remember that team" and "what a stupid logo". Below are a few that caught my attention. Enjoy the past, we are doomed to repeat it - in twenty years we will laugh at the team logos of today.

Los Angeles and Jacksonville swapped names back in the 70s and 80s. First LA had the Sharks hockey team, then Jax named their WFL football team the Sharks. The Jax Sharks franchised had problems and was reborn in 1975 as the Jax Express. In the 80's LA named their USFL football team the LA Express.

Speaking of the WFL (World Football League) and USFL (United States Football League) I always thought these logos were backwards - doesn't the Memphis logo look more like a mauler and the Pitt logo like a Southman?

Minnesota came up with some fearsome logos in the 70's:

---

Disco fever swept Chicago

---

Here is a seasoned team of veterans

---

The team owner has a concrete business so you name the team the "Mixers"?!?! I do like the way the "O"s in Ohio are worked into the wheels.

---

Gee, I didn't know Woody Woodpecker was a roadrunner

---

I never knew the phone company owned a football team

---

Hmmm, Seattle had a hockey team in the '50s called the Ironmen. I wonder where Marvel came up with the idea in the early 60's for their new hero Ironman?

---

Sadly who knew it was a chilling prophesy when the BREAKERS moved from Boston to NEW ORLEANS

Here is a hockey team from the 1950's. . . looks like an ad for condoms.

Which reminds me in China a rubber company is launching a new line of condoms called (I kid you not ) the "Clinton" and "Lewinsky". The "Lewinsky" is discount priced around $3 per dozen and the premium "Clinton" brand will sell for a couple of dollars more.

In '85, took eternal rest
USFL folded in North, East, South & West
That's why classic fans came here to say
We can watch classic games on ESPN someday
