What a great topic! There are so many to choose from. The 1952 Topps set is gold mine of bad cap logos ...

Yep. Check this out - this one if anything is actually predicting the future! The logo fairly closely resembles a modern Cubs cap insignia, but the problem is they didn't use it until 1957! In 1951-52, the Cubs would have been using the wishbone C logo (similar to a modern Cincinnati Reds cap) which was more elongated than what you see here. And the white piping around the C? Yep - also did not come about until 1957. Whoever did this airbrush job did a crappy one - and in 1952 he / she would have gotten an F - but what's humorous about it today is likely few people would actually notice because - well yeah - it DOES look like a Cubs cap!

Maybe this would be better classified as the most strategic rather than the worst



Sometimes it takes practice to get it just right



Sometimes they spawn an entire production line



One the brushers missed



A brusher with a sense of humor ?



A brusher who did not know how the brush
