Braves Alternate Logo
The Atlanta Braves have a long and storied history, with their alternate logo being no exception. The team has had several different logos over the years, each one unique in its own way. From the classic tomahawk to the modern script “A” that is used today, these logos offer fans a glimpse into what makes this team so special.
The first alternate logo was adopted by the Braves in 1966 when they moved from Milwaukee to Atlanta and changed their name from “Milwaukee Braves” to just “Braves”. This new logo featured an orange-and-blue shield with a Native American chief wearing a full headdress inside of it; this design was meant as an homage both to Native Americans and also as a representation of bravery – two things that are integral parts of baseball culture even today! This original design would be updated multiple times over time but still remains popular among fans who remember it fondly or appreciate its symbolism now more than ever before.
In the 1990s though, there began another era of change for the franchise when they decided on using script lettering instead of pictorial designs like those seen previously on some iterations of their iconic emblem; thus came about perhaps one of the most recognizable versions we see today - simply featuring large red capitalized letter A outlined in navy blue color which sits atop yellow background giving off very distinct yet simple look at the same time making it stand out amongst other teams' insignias while still keeping true essence behind all previous renditions intact. As such, it's become a beloved part of not only the organization's overall identity but also the fanbase itself since then.
Overall, Atlanta Braves'alternate logo history spans many decades filled with changes along the way; however, through all these transitions, one thing has stayed constant: representing strength courage & resilience which are qualities found within every fan cheering them onward season after season!
