Orioles Alternate Logo

The Baltimore Orioles have a long and storied history with their alternate logos, particularly in relation to the Baltimore Orioles Wordmark logo. The team has had several different looks over the years, from classic to modern. Some of these logos are iconic and beloved by fans, while others may be less familiar or even forgotten altogether. In this essay, we will explore some of the more popular alternate logos used by the Orioles throughout their history.

One of the most recognizable versions is known as “the Bird” logo which was first introduced in 1966 and featured an orange cartoon bird perched atop a black baseball bat with two white stripes running down its length. This version was used until 1988 when it was replaced with another design featuring an orange oriole headset against a blue background outlined in black trimming, complete with white stars representing each state within Maryland’s borders at that time (Delaware not included). This logo stayed in use until 1996 when it underwent minor changes but kept its overall shape intact through 1997 before being retired for good after the 1998 season ended.

The final official alternate logo came into existence during the 1999 season when they unveiled what is now considered one of their best-designed emblems: an interlocking B & O (Baltimore & Ohio Railroad) symbol surrounded by four stars – three red ones on top representing Maryland's original three counties plus one yellow star for Washington Dc below them all - placed inside a circle shaped like home plate cut diagonally across its centerline; this version remained unchanged up to today's current look save for few color tweaks here there such as making both main colors brighter so that they contrast better against each other along edges. With such memorable designs like these, no wonder why many consider Baltimore Orioles' visual identity among the most interesting ones Major League Baseball has ever seen!
