Chicago Orphans Primary Logo

Orphans Primary Logo

The Chicago Orphans' primary logo has a long and storied history. The team was founded in 1876, making it one of the oldest baseball teams in America. As such, its logos have gone through several iterations over the years as they’ve adapted to changing times and styles.

The first logo used by the Chicago Orphans featured a shield with an anchor inside of it along with two crossed bats on either side of it. This design was meant to represent strength and stability for both players and fans alike; something that would stand up against any challenge or obstacle faced during their time playing professional baseball. Additionally, this symbol also served as an homage to those who had come before them – sailors from all walks of life who had risked their lives at sea for centuries prior without ever seeing land again – which is why there was an anchor included in this initial design choice.

Over the years, various updates were made to this original logo but its core elements remained largely unchanged until 2003 when a new version featuring updated colors (reds instead of blues) replaced it entirely on uniforms worn by players during games played at Wrigley Field that year onward. While some may consider these alterations controversial due to how much nostalgia has been associated with previous versions, others are excited about what new traditions could be created around these modernized designs moving forward into future seasons. No matter where you stand though, there's no denying that each successive iteration serves as another reminder not only how far we've come since 1876 but also just how much potential still lies ahead for sports teams like The Chicago Orphans even today!
