Braves Primary Logo
The Atlanta Braves have a long and storied history, with their primary logo playing an important role in that. The team's original logo was created in 1912 when the Boston Red Sox moved to Milwaukee and became the Braves. This iconic "screaming Indian" featured a Native American figure wearing a full headdress, screaming while brandishing two tomahawks. It is believed to be based on Chief Black Hawk of Illinois' Sac & Fox Nation tribe.
Overall though despite all these small changes over decades worth of time, one thing remains true: The Braves will always honor their past by keeping alive an homage towards Chief Black Hawk via incorporating his likeness into each new iteration for generations yet to come!
