All due respect to Montreal and the fans Ken...but I personally think the Expos logo sucked.  Looks like a someone spelling out the world "ELB" in a 70s hippie font or something.


You aren't the only one who thought the Expos logo, as well as their name stunk... I think the Expos logo was among the ugliest logos in professional sports. The nae they chose is just as bad... Worse even


In all due fairness, MLB probably did not think of putting a team in Montr?al until the 1967 World's Fair, or as it is officially called, the World Exposition. That is also probably when the city was preparing its bid to host the Games of  the XXIst Olympiad. So the name did have a point. Besides, "Canadiens" was already taken! (So was "Royals" since Kansas City got an expansion team to replace the Athletics the same year the Expos came into existence.)
