Royals Team History

Royals Primary Logo

The Cincinnati Royals primary logo history is an interesting one, as it has evolved over the years and changed with the times. The original logo was created in 1949 when the team was first founded and featured a shield shape with a blue background, white lettering spelling out “Cincinnati” at top of the design and two basketballs crossed beneath it. This simple but effective design served as their main logo for almost 20 years until 1969 when they updated it to include red accents on either side of each word in order to give more emphasis to their name.

In 1973, they decided to make another change by adding a crown above their name which symbolized royalty since this was now part of their official nickname - The Cincinnati Royals. They also added royal blue stars surrounding both sides of this new addition which further reinforced that idea while creating an overall more visually pleasing look than before. Finally, in 1985 they made one final alteration by changing up some minor details such as font size or color scheme so that all elements would stand out better against each other without taking away from its classic feel too much; thus creating what we know today as ‘the modern era’ version!

Overall throughout its many iterations over time these changes have been subtle yet effective enough for fans everywhere recognize them instantly even after decades apart - proving just how powerful visual branding can be! It's no surprise then why so many people still love wearing apparel featuring these iconic logos despite having never seen any game played live themselves; making us proud owners who are sure our team will always remain close at heart no matter where life takes us next!
