Bullets Primary Logo
The Baltimore Bullets' primary logo has a long and exciting history. The original logo, used from 1963 to 1972, featured the word “Bullets” written in script with an orange basketball inside. This was meant to represent the team's name and the sport of choice. During this period, the Bullets were part of the Eastern Division and, later on, the National Basketball Association (NBA).
In 1973, a new version of this same logo emerged featuring an orange circle instead that had three stars within it representing each division they were in at that time: Eastern Division (red star), Central Division (white star), and Western Conference (blue star). The words “Baltimore Bullets” appeared above these stars in white lettering with black outlining for emphasis. This design remained until 1975 when yet another variation featured just two stars while keeping its core design intact - including those famous words!
Finally, after several years of using various versions of this iconic symbol, In 1987, a brand-new look for Baltimore Bullet's primary Logo was unveiled – one without any circles or stars! Instead, there is now simply bold text spelling out "Washington" across the top half while the bottom reads "Bullets." It is believed that by making such drastic changes to their visual identity, they wanted to show off a strong unity between the two cities. However, the geographical distance between them is great - something fans continue to appreciate today!
