This time we are going to focus on traditional sports, since we recently made an article that you can read about electronic sports, teams and influencers from the gaming world.

The shield of FC Barcelona
FC Barcelona is one of the most popular soccer teams in the world. Its logo is one of the most recognized in the sports industry. The design features a shield in the club's blue and red colors, a soccer ball, and the letter "B" for Barcelona. And it is that this symbol is one of the oldest in the king of sports in Europe.Oh Latin America, recognized wherever he walks and with a great social mass behind him.
In fact, its shield has not had major changes since it began in 1899 and its colors are still intact. So much so, that the last major modification occurred in 2002, proposing better adaptations to new formats, although yes, it had a small modification of lines recently since they needed to adapt to the new market of social networks. This is something that football teams have done to a large extent, even making major modifications.
New York Yankees
The New York Yankees logo is one of the most iconic in all of sports. Features the letter "NY" in a sleek and streamlined font. The design is simple but effective, and has become a symbol of American baseball and even the fashion industry.. Many people wear all kinds of Yankees clothing as a sign of a conventional clothing brand. without having to be tied to baseball or the team.
That is why your brand has already crossed borders and has a small gap in the fashion industry., selling their merchandising anywhere in the world. And that is, this logo It has been in use since 1909 and since then it has undergone few modifications for the general public.. Although it is true, that for the team it has done so, thus separating the brand from the sport, with a logo that includes the baseball and the traditional bat.
The Chicago Bulls
No one can boast more of an original logo that has survived its history intact than the Chicago Bulls. As part of their name, the Bulls use an angry-looking bull in hues of red and white. This way, Anyone who hears anything from Chicago, the first thing that comes to mind is the sports logo of the Bulls. A brand that has also worked to sell many shirts and many expectations regarding its competition.
Recognizable like few others, the Chicago basketball team is at the forefront of the major American leagues. where he has been able to count on the best players in history. Among them, the mythical Michael Jordan, where the photograph of him with his arms "on hips" is used for each and every one of the covers when talking about them.
The iconic Jordan
And speaking of Michael Jordan, there is no one who does not recognize the most legendary dunk as one of the best sports logos ever made.. If we were talking about merchandising with the Yankees, here we are talking directly about a clothing brand. In the style of Adidas, Puma and Nike, who created their own line with the image of Michael and which always refers to the style of basketball.
Although now we can find all kinds of things in this brand, such as tracksuits, caps or socks, always entails a demarcation referring to sport. The silhouette of Jordan himself with his legs open and his arm outstretched with the basketball performing a dunk with a star jump, how could it be otherwise.

CR7 or Messi or other athletes
In the same way as Jordan, Nike sought to make a distinctive proposal to soccer players. On this occasion it was considered one of the best in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo. And although it is known as "cerresiete" its brand did not become as particular as the one we were talking about Jordan. Although yes, he has not limited him to create different brands under his own name. As can even be its union with Pestana in "Pestana CR7" for luxury hotels.
The brand of CR7 or Messi, are brands linked to sports and their own names or surnames, but they do not manage to be too striking as a brand. That is why we have decided to give a place to the latter. Since not all sports logos have the same impact. And today, it's much more complicated, because every athlete has created a logo to sell themselves as a branded product.
