Even if you don’t like sports, there are many sports logos with which you may be familiar. But here’s the thing: even if you DO like sports -- even if you instantly recognize a myriad of logos and create the semiotic link in your head to the team they represent on a daily basis -- they’re insanely hard to recreate from memory alone.
Draw a sports logo from memory: Los Angeles Dodgers
Drawing a sports logo from memory is harder than it sounds. See how well we did and try it for yourself.

This is our ongoing series where we attempt to recreate these logos using only a drawing implement and our own all-too-fallible human memories. Please enjoy our horrible attempt at the logo and accompanying anecdote, then give it a shot for yourself in the comments below. Have fun!
Yes, the Los Angeles Dodgers. Ol' team moneybags. The new Yankees of the West. The Magic Guggenheims. They've got the best uniforms in baseball! But can you draw their logos with any degree of accuracy?
All I know is that their cap logo has a design you can make with your fingers and the primary logo has a flying ball on it. (There’s probably a joke somewhere in that sentence.)
Let’s give it a whirl!
Could be worse, I guess. Have you written in cursive since grade school? HAVE YOU WRITTEN IN CURSIVE EVER? HOW YOUNG ARE YOU GOODNESS’ SAKES
