Rebels Primary Logo

The Cleveland Rebels were a professional basketball team that played in the National Basketball Association (NBA) from 1945 to 1946. The team was based in Cleveland, Ohio, and had an interesting logo history.

The primary logo for the rebels featured a shield with two crossed swords at its center, surrounded by stars and stripes of red, white, and blue. This design is thought to be inspired by the Revolutionary War era flag used during this time period as it contains similar elements such as stars representing states on either side of the sword hilts which are symbolic of freedom from oppression or tyranny. The overall look is one that conveys strength and patriotism—two important values for any American sports franchise at this time period—and still resonates today with current fans who recognize its significance within NBA history.

In addition to using their iconic shield-based logo throughout their brief existence in league play, they also made use of other designs including an image depicting a Native American chief wearing traditional headgear along with feathers adorning his hair while holding up two crossed tomahawks above him; these symbols represented courage and strength through adversity which was common themes associated with early 20th century Native Americans living under oppressive government policies enforced upon them during those times. Ultimately though it’s clear that no matter what design they chose to represent themselves visually on the court or off-court apparel items alike –the message behind each one was always aimed towards inspiring hope rather than fear amongst those who supported them both then & now!
