70's logo/cartoon mascot help (1 Viewer)

[Sludge]

I added a pic to Facebook for "Throwback Thursday" back around Christmas time of my brother and me visiting Santa. After I loaded the pic people wanted to know what the logo on my brother's jacket was, but nobody knew.

I figured somebody here might know so here it goes:

The Wawa gift card was a reward for the person with the correct answer, but it went unclaimed. If somebody figures it out and lives in an area with a Wawa I will send it to them.

did he play football ? looks like a local team jacket

 

[KCitons]

You're both wearing the same jacket? His his has the logo, yours doesn't?

To be honest, I even tell what the patch is. The pic is blurry and my eyes are old

Didn't know you could see that. That was taken by my daughter at a mall and she sent it to me.

He was 5 at the time and wasn't on any team. He doesn't know what it is and neither does our mom.

I'm sorry about the quality of the pic. Its much larger on my hard drive.

 

[belljr]

can you describe the logo

 

[Sludge]

A skinny old guy wearing a cowboy hat and a bandanna around his neck. He could possibly be a "spooky" cowboy. He has a large protruding nose and chin.

A lot of people thought it was the "Hunka cheese" guy from the 70's:

Its not him though.

 

[KCitons]

where were you living at that time?

That guy is way older than five, you sicko, and I'm pretty sure he's on some team. Also very reassuring that you have a "larger version" of that pic on your hard drive.

 

[Sludge]

Hey that's my brother you're talking about. We took baths together all of the time.

You are right though, he was 2 months shy of turning 6.

 

[Sludge]

Southwest Philadelphia. The picture was taken at Wanamaker's in Center City.

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

Let's try and get on the same page here, fellas.

 

[zamboni]

Since you're from Philly, guessing it's some sort of '70s sports logo from the area.

Thought it might be the WHA Blazers, but not likely: http://www.whahockey.com/blazers_phil.html

 

[mr roboto]

Is it a witch on a broom with the circle behind being the moon?

 

[KCitons]

Still think it's odd that you are both wearing the same jacket, yet his has the logo. Either you ripped yours off, or it was school jacket or some youth sports league. You just hadn't earned your patch yet.

 

[Doug B]

Usually pretty good at this sort of thing, but Imageshack quit working at my office today.

Any chance you could put the pic on Flickr ... or maybe embed it into a thread on another message board (temporarily, you could take it down later)?

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

It's probably just crappy pretend logo from a now defunct clothing company.

Or do you know the real answer?

 

[zamboni]

At first, thought it might be this guy: http://www.cartoonscrapbook.com/l-p/001/brown-hornet_L01.htm

But if 1975, much too early anyway.

 

[danielmclark]

Too big to be a logo for a clothing company.

 

[Sludge]

We went through all of the old Philadelphia teams - Pro and semi-pro.

We didn't play on any teams until we were at least 8 and the logos in my old neighborhood don't look anything like it. My theory is the logo was added to his so we could tell the difference between the jackets.

I do not have a Flickr account. If I have time I'll try to set one up.

I do not know the answer.

 

[Doug B]

Maybe someone in the thread who can view the picture can post it elsewhere?

 

[KCitons]

I tried to clean up the logo with photoshop, but there isn't much to work with.

[TheIronSheik]

Silly question, but could it be your school logo?

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

A skinny old guy wearing a cowboy hat and a bandanna around his neck. He could possibly be a "spooky" cowboy. He has a large protruding nose and chin.

Are you sure about the cowboy hat and bandana or is that just what it looks like to you?

The more I look at it the more I think it might not even be a face/head.

It also looks more like an iron-on than something embroidered.

Source: I'm old too.

 

[Sludge]

Its not an old school logo.

I'm positive that its a guy in a cowboy hat. He is looking to his left.

I'm headed to lunch soon, but if anybody wants me to send them a bigger image then send me a message. The pic is bigger but not that much more quality.

 

[KCitons]

send me the original, I will try to clean it up in photoshop

Thanks, KC.

When I look at your blown-up logo at upper right, I can kind of imagine a Wile E Coyote image. But it doesn't hold up when looking at the reverse-brightness image at lower right.

Sludge, are the jackets brown-&-yellow, or black-&-yellow?

 

[TheIronSheik]

Wait. Isn't that the Twinkee guy?

 

[Sludge]

Black and yellow. I just sent KC the original.

 

[TheIronSheik]

Wait. Isn't that the Twinkee guy?

Or this guy?

 

[TheIronSheik]

Wait. Isn't that the Twinkee guy?

Or this guy?

No. I still think it's the Twinkies guy. Maybe an iron on patch?

 

[glock]

Pirate?

 

[Doug B]

Wait. Isn't that the Twinkee guy?

Or this guy?

Mentioned upthread ... not the one.

I can see the cowboy hat in the blown-up images in the logo. And I can see a wolf/dog/rat-looking face under the hat, snout pointing left.

Then there's some kind of white semi-circular thing at the left of the image ... looks like a billowing sail or maybe a cape. Or maybe it's some kind of background piece to the main picture (a stylized setting sun or a full moon?).

I believe that's his lasso.

Twinkie guy?

 

[TheIronSheik]

Twinkie guy?

Yeah. But there he's standing up. Picture him sitting on a horse with like he's being bucked while swinging a lasso behind his head.

 

[glock]

It's an Ichabod Crane looking guy- pointy nose and chin facing to the right...

 

[Sludge]

Lol, its Facebook all over again. Everybody sees something different.

Its not the Twinkie guy. I think there is a fold in the jacket that obscures part of the hat.

I'll be back in an hour or so.

 

[glock]

Wait! I'm sure it's here!!

 

[TheIronSheik]

Only three colleges have a Cowboy nickname. So I don't think it's that. You've ruled out pro or minor league teams. So there's that.

You're both wearing the same jacket, but one has the logo and one doesn't. That could mean that the patch has nothing to do with the jacket.

I'm stumped. I would have to say a local school (which you said it wasn't) or a patch from some product.

Other than that, I got nuttin'.

 

[Fennis]

looks like the racist ole miss guy to me

 

[KCitons]

I tried to clean it up a little more. Upped the contrast. As you said, he is facing towards the right (as you look at the picture) It looks like the lowest part of the logo is the cowboys elbow or maybe part of the bandana? I'm not sure what the thing is at the upper right???

Zooming in much past this point has diminishing returns.

Nice. I'm sitting here staring at it at work from about 2 inches away when I realize there's a picture of two asses bent over right below it.

Weird. The plural isn't filtered?

Uhm- two clicks to the right?

 

[KCitons]

It reminds me a little of the deamon deacon logo. Similar, but different.

That was a quick PS of Pouncey's face instead of Jonathan Martin. Different thread.
