Cleveland Cavaliers - Which logo do you like?

Today starts a new feature on Stiles Points called "Which Logo Do You Like"...over the years sports franchises have changed their logos for various reasons: to market new items or just to make a change...now you, the reader, can select which logo you like the best...

Today we start with the Cleveland Cavaliers...the Cavs have had four logos...their colors started with wine and gold, then moved to blue and orange, then to black and powder blue, now back to wine, gold, and blue....here are your choices...


Logo 1 - 1971-83

This was the logo during the Miracle at Richfield era when the Cavs sported the names of Chones, Bingo, Cleamons, Campy, Nate, etc.





Logo 2 - 1984 - 94
When this logo came out, the lowly Cavs just made the playoffs and almost beat the Larry Bird Boston Celtics...the Cavs were led by World B. Free, Edgar Jones, and Roy Hinson....a few years later the Cavs were for real with Price, Daugherty, Ehlo, Nance, and Hot Rod....



Logo 3 - 1995 - 03
This logo was designed by a marketing firm in order to boost sales at the new Gund Arena...the Cavs struggled while wearing this....the names of Shawn Kemp and Andre Miller were probably the best players under this regime..




Logo 4 - 2004 - present
The Cavs changed their entire image once they got LeBron...much of their fan base wanted the old wine and gold as the primary colors....management settled on this...



My thoughts - I am old-school all the way...I would go with the original Cavs logo...their current logo and uniforms are okay, but I would go back to the true wine and gold unis from the 1970s...those were sweet!!!!....

I also liked the orange and blue logo and unis....maybe because the Cavs were a solid "team" back then instead of having one mega-superstar and a bunch of lugnuts for teammates like they do now....

Logo 3 sucks!!!....when management starts asking marketing "experts" to design a logo and uniform, that is when you know they are out of touch with their fans....

So my pick is Logo 1.....your thoughts???

Note - I will be in Cincinnati the next two days -- the blog will resume of Friday...
