2. Memphis Grizzlies
The Grizzlies moved from Vancouver to Memphis in 2001, and they changed their logo to the current one in 2004. After sticking with a grizzly bear baring its teeth, they dropped that and featured a blue bear with glowing eyes instead.
This sends the message that the team is no longer aggressive, and no team would be intimidated by a logo that looks more like a teddy bear than a wild, vicious bear.
