Cleveland Naps Primary Logo

Clash of Logos - MLB Banner

cleveland-naps-primary-logo-1909

Naps Primary Logo

The Cleveland Naps was a Major League Baseball team that played in the American League from 1901 to 1914. The team was named after their star player, Napoleon “Nap” Lajoie, who also managed and owned part of the franchise. Throughout its history, the Cleveland Naps had several different logos representing their identity as a professional baseball club.

The first logo used by the Cleveland Naps featured an image of Nap Lajoie wearing his signature cap with crossed bats behind him and a banner that read "Cleveland". This logo served as an homage to both Nap's legacy on and off-the-field accomplishments while serving as an effective representation of what it meant to be part of this storied organization.

In 1910, the second primary logo for the Cleveland Naps made its debut; it featured two crossed bats overlaid with red lettering spelling out "NAPS" above them in all caps font style which is still recognizable today when compared to modern-day MLB logos for teams like Boston Red Sox or Chicago Cubs. This iconic design has been referenced throughout time by many other franchises including those outside professional sports leagues such as minor league hockey teams across North America using similar designs inspired by this original concept created over one hundred years ago!
