Detroit Tigers Primary Logo

Clash of Logos - MLB Logo Tourney

detroit-tigers-primary-logo

Historically, Detroit’s logo has been consistently different styles of the letter “D.” The old English “D” is strong, bold and instantly known throughout time as Detroit since it has been on the team hats and helmets since 1922. The Detroit Tigers have used 18 different logos, with 12 logos being with the letter “D.”

Todd Radom Design: The Detroit Tigers' Old English "Ds" Finally Match

113 years after having first been paired, the Detroit Tigers’ caps and jersey insignias will, at long last, match up. The club has officially eliminated the longstanding jersey version of the Old English “D,” unchanged since 1934, in favor of their headwear “D.” The differences between the two have always been pronounced. The club first wore an Old English “D” on their caps in 1905. It didn’t come close to matching the one that was worn on their jerseys then, and it hasn’t ever since—until now. This charming, if odd, anomaly dates back to an era long before club graphics were formalized and widely distributed. The Tigers’ uniform Old English “D” made its debut in 1896, when the club played in the Western League. Its first appearance took place on April 28 of that year, during the club’s home opener at Bennett Park, located at the corner of Michigan Street and Trumbull Avenue. The ballpark evolved over the next century, eventually becoming Tiger Stadium, and it served as home to the Tigers straight through the conclusion of the 1999 season. Read More...
