Top 10 defunct MILL/NLL logos

9. Baltimore Thunder (1987-1999)

The Baltimore Thunder were around the second longest (13 seasons) of any team that made my list. Baltimore’s original logo was simple, but the subtle lighting strikes were a nice. touch. The logo’s second iteration made sure that people knew what sport they played with “PRO LACROSSE” emboldened at the bottom. In a way, they were ahead of their time with so many pro teams using the “lacrosse club” moniker nowadays. As Michael Scott would say, these logos are right brain-left brain, or duality of man.
