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.

In 1966 the franchise relocated from Milwaukee to Atlanta, bringing along its beloved mascot with them; however, it underwent some changes over time as well as several other logos being introduced alongside it before eventually becoming known as “the A” or “the Tomahawk Chop” by fans today due to its resemblance of an axe chopping through the wood. In 1989 they redesigned their primary logo once again featuring a more modernized version of the original Native American warrior complete with a feathered headdress but without any weapons this time around which has been used ever since then up until the present day although there have been minor tweaks made here and there throughout those years too such as color variations etcetera

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!
