Braves Primary Logo
The Boston Braves Primary Logo has been an iconic symbol for the city of Boston since its inception in 1912. This logo was created by John Taylor, a former newspaper illustrator from England who had moved to America and began working with the National League team. The original logo featured two crossed tomahawks above a “B” which stood for both “Boston” and “Braves”; it has remained largely unchanged throughout its history.
In 1915, when the team changed its name to become known as the Boston Red Sox, it kept its primary logo intact but added red accents around it to signify this change in identity. The current version of this classic design is still being used today on all official merchandise related to both teams; however, there have been some minor changes over time such as adding additional colors or changing certain elements slightly here and there depending on what season or era we are looking at now. For example, during World War II (1941-1945), an American flag was added behind the tomahawks.
Since then, many other logos have come about that represent different eras within baseball history; however, none can compare with how timelessly classic yet modernly relevant this original primary logo remains even after more than 100 years! It just goes to show you how important branding is when creating something that will last through generations – no matter if you're talking about sports teams or businesses alike!
