Happy New Year everyone! We’re looking forward to getting 2013, our 16th (holy smokes!) year underway, but first we gotta take a look back at 2012.
Over the past year we’ve seen many new logos and uniforms make their debut and as they have we’ve encouraged our readers to go rate them on a scale of 1-to-10 over on the main SportsLogos.Net site. So here, on the final day of the year, are the highest and lowest rated logos according to the visitors of SportsLogos.Net.
Logos must have been made their in-game debut between January 1 and December 31, 2012 and have received a minimum of 35 votes to qualify — basically this means those new baseball logos unveiled for the 2013 season will only be included in the 2013 rankings next year. The score out of ten for each logo is listed next to it in parenthesis.
