EF Team Primary Logo

The Edmonton Football Team (EFT) has been proudly representing the city of Edmonton since 1949. As one of the founding members of the Canadian Football League (CFL), they have a long and storied history that is reflected in their primary logo. Over its 70-year existence, EFT’s logo has undergone several changes, each reflecting an important moment in team history.

The original EFT logo was created shortly after the team's formation and featured an image of a football with two crossed swords behind it. This symbolized strength and courage - values that were seen as essential to success on both sides of the ball for any aspiring CFL champion squad at that time. The colors chosen for this initial design were black, white, and gold – all representative symbols associated with Canada’s national sport: hockey!
In 1983, however, there was a major shift in how EFT represented itself visually when they introduced their new “Edmonton Eskimos” branding campaign complete with updated logos featuring green & gold colors along with bold lettering spelling out “ESKIMOS” across thematic graphics like snowflakes or husky dogs pulling sleds through icy tundras – perfect imagery to represent Canada's northernmost professional sports franchise!

By 1997 though things had changed yet again due to increased sponsorship deals from local businesses; this led to another redesign where more modern shapes replaced traditional ones while still keeping those classic colors intact so fans could recognize them instantly no matter what iteration they saw on jerseys or merchandise items throughout Alberta province & beyond!

Today we see yet another update made recently during the 2019 season where the iconic green/gold color palette remains but now features much cleaner lines than before plus some additional accents such as a nameplate underneath the main crest which reads "EDMONTON FOOTBALL TEAM" – perfectly encapsulating club spirit within single piece artwork making sure everyone knows who stands proud atop standings every year without fail…no matter what happens between then now!!
