Tigers Primary Logo

The Detroit Tigers have had a long history of logos and marks throughout their time as one of the most successful Major League Baseball teams. The primary logo, which is still used today, has gone through several iterations since its inception in 1901.

The first version was simple and featured an orange tiger head with green eyes above the team's name written in a black script font on a white background. This design remained unchanged for nearly three decades until it was replaced by an updated version that included some minor changes such as adding stripes to the tiger’s face, changing the font to block letters, and replacing green eyes with yellow ones.

In 1996, another update saw more drastic alterations including making both sides of the tiger symmetrical while also introducing blue into its color palette along with additional detailing like whiskers and fur texture around its mouth area. Since then there have been no major changes made to this iconic logo except for slight variations such as altering colors or removing details depending on what type of apparel it appears on (i.e., jerseys vs hats). Overall though this classic mark has stayed true to itself over time while remaining synonymous with Detroit Tigers baseball fans everywhere!
