Arizona Cardinals
In January 2005, the team unveiled its first major changes in a century. The red cardinal head logo was updated to look sleeker and meaner than the previous cardinal head. The beak was changed from gold to yellow, heavier black outlines were added and this bird is significantly more aggressive looking than the previous bird. Numerous fans had called the previous version a “parakeet.”
Cardinals Alternate Logo
The Arizona Cardinals have a long and storied history of alternate logos, which began in the early 2000s. The first logo was inspired by Native American culture and featured an abstract bird head with feathers radiating from it. This design was used for several years before being replaced with a more modern version incorporating traditional cardinal colors like red, white, and black.
In 2015, the team unveiled its newest alternate logo featuring an updated version of the original bird head design. This new logo also included stylized feather patterns on its wings to give it a unique look while still paying homage to its heritage roots. The use of bold lines around the edges gives this new logo an aggressive feel that fits well with the team's identity as one of football’s most formidable opponents in recent years.
The Arizona Cardinals' latest alternate logos are perfect examples of how teams can draw upon their past while still creating something fresh for fans today; they provide nostalgia and excitement when looking at them! With so many great designs over time, there is no doubt that these iconic symbols will continue to make up Cardinal Nation for many more years to come!
