1. NBA Logos Inspired by 80\u2019s Cartoons<\/h3>\n
\n \n <\/a>\n \n <\/a>\n \n <\/a>\n \n <\/a>\n \n <\/a>\n \n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Spanish artistic company Vanilla Lab have combined their love of basketball and cartoons to create a selection of NBA emblem redesigns inspired by their favourite shows<\/a>.\u00a0The New York Knicks have been transformed with the help of Brooklyn natives the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the Chicago Bulls have had a Transformer-style rework, in celebration of their victory over the evil Megatron, who tried and failed in his fictional bid to seize the Windy City.<\/p>\n

2. International Rugby with an American Twist<\/h3>\n
\n \n <\/a>\n \n <\/a>\n \n <\/a>\n \n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ahead of the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England, BWIN put together an alternative guide to the tournament, which featured a quirky segment where the logos of the nations involved got an American Sports Franchise redesign. Scotland were given a cinematic rebranding as the Braveheart\u2019s, using the iconic film starring Mel Gibson as the source of inspiration, whilst two-time champions South African Spring Boks have undergone a very aesthetically pleasing rework.<\/p>\n

3. Basketball Versus Hip Hop<\/h3>\n
\n \n <\/a>\n \n <\/a>\n \n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Hip Hop artists are often pictured following their favourite basketball teams and here we have three artists representing the cities they were born in. Jay Z takes on the New York Nets, Lil Wayne covers the New Orleans Pelicans and the commercial logo of Minnesota collective the Rhymsayers, mashes-up perfectly with the emblem of the Timberwolves. Click here<\/a> for more NBA & Hip Hop collaborations.<\/p>\n

4. American Logos given a European Revamp<\/h3>\n
\n \n <\/a>\n \n <\/a>\n \n <\/a>\n \n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Unlike European soccer teams, American sports rarely feature a team emblem on their jerseys. Serbian designer Milan Vukovic has been working on designs for all the major NBA and NFL sides, giving them a very traditional, soccer-style rework. Here\u2019s what the logos for the Indianapolis Colts and the Phoenix Suns would look like if they plied their trade on the other side of the Atlantic.

5. The Premier League goes Literal<\/h3>\n
\n \n <\/a>\n \n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This whimsical, all too literal reworking of English soccer teams crest\u2019s is a classic example of the satirical comedy Britain is synonymous with. Here we see the design of Chelsea\u2019s and Manchester United\u2019s badges summed up perfectly with a new, humorous title. Although this isn\u2019t strictly a redesign, more of a renaming, they\u2019re still very funny. You can find the other 18 comedic reworking\u2019s of English soccer badges here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

6. Winter Is Coming\u2026 To the NFL<\/h3>\n
\n \n <\/a>\n \n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

UPROXX and artist Dave Rappoccio have teamed up to combine America\u2019s favourite sport with one of their most watched TV Series, as the NFL collides with Game of Thrones<\/a>. There are a whole army of logos to look at but this twist on the New England Patriots iconic emblem, featuring the treacherous villain Ramsey Bolton, is a deviously divergent redesign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
