Human beings raise above all the species of the Animal Kingdom. We are the most intellectual creatures as we can rationalize; show emotions, do logical tasks, speak with words and many skills that are evident to every person living. Despite it all, animals symbolically represent the characteristics of the humankind. Sometimes, animals are personified in statements. This figure of speech is not only important in making poetry. However, they are used to rationalize the strengths within humans. Moreover, there is no other way to describe them but through animals.
In the field of sports, a group of men forming a team creates logos in their uniforms to represent them as a whole. All of their qualities are being backed up by a particular creature abundant in their hometowns or what they can see the best to describe their performance. One of the commonly used symbols is the horse. These warm-blooded creatures are not only gifted with good equine intelligence but they are also the symbolism of speed, agility and manhood. No wonder most sports in United States and across the world, utilize this creature as part of their logos.

Some of the teams that use them are:

2. Cornwall Colts- This is a hockey team from Canada. They were the champions for the Bogart Cup, 4 times in 1995-1996 and 2000-2001.They also won the Fred Cup but never got a title to the Royal Bank Cup.
