Georgie56 3304 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Eh, WGN used their old '80s-early '90s logo on twitter until they went back to being independent. Probably just temporary.

Guest Former Member 207 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 It's temporary...they're premiering a 30 for 30 doc tonight based on the Celtics-Lakers rivalry (more emphasis on the 1980s era), hence the '80s throwback logos.

channel2 979 Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 I hope this is temporary... I may be in the minority here, but I feel like the existing ESPN logo is beyond stale and I would love to see it replaced. Not sure if the 1979 logo is the solution though...

Journalist 894 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I thought it was for ESPNs Anniversary It would be 3 years too early. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15751-espn-using-old-logos-on-twitter/#findComment-176550 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And 1985 was when the current ESPN logo debuted, making it one of the oldest in cable TV history (along with CNN, HBO, and MTV (though the "M" was trimmed down a few years ago)).

24994J 5577 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 The Celtics-Lakers coloring confirms that the throwback is merely for the '30 for 30'. It doesn't appear that any other sport's profile has been changed. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10155632777883643 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15751-espn-using-old-logos-on-twitter/#findComment-176574 Share on other sites More sharing options...
