Giants Wordmark Logo

The original design for this logo dates back to 1902 when Charles Stoneham purchased the franchise from its previous owner John Tener. At that time, he changed its name from "New York Gothams" to "Giants," as well as introduced their now recognizable black-and-orange colors along with an updated brand identity featuring a classic baseball illustration surrounded by stars—a nod both to America's national flag and Stoneham's own patriotism towards his home country of Ireland (which also happens to feature orange on its official flag). Since then, there have only been minor updates made over time such as changing out fonts or slightly altering color schemes but overall keeping true to what has become one of MLB's most recognizable logos today.

In recent years however, it seems like more changes are being made regarding how people perceive their beloved mascot Mr. Met; many fans feel like these modern-day alterations are taking away from what makes him so special which is why they've started pushing for more traditional designs instead—ones inspired by past iterations such as those seen during Stoneham era where he first introduced us all to his iconic New York Giants' Wordmark Logo History!
