Oaks Logo History
The Oakland Oaks has a long and storied history when it comes to its team logo. The first logo, which was used from the team’s inception in 1903 until 1946, featured an oak tree with two branches crossed over each other. This symbolized the strength of the organization and its commitment to excellence on the field.
In 1947, a new version of this logo was introduced featuring an acorn at its center instead of an oak tree. This design stayed in place for nearly three decades before being replaced by another iteration in 1976 that featured a more modern take on the original concept; this time with only one branch crossing over itself and no acorn present at all.
Today's version of Oakland Oaks' Logo has been around since 1996 when they decided to go back to basics once again but add some contemporary flair as well; now featuring two crossed branches plus a red circle containing five stars representing California's five counties (Alameda County being home). It is also slightly tilted towards the right side giving off vibes that signify movement & progress - something every great sports franchise strives for!
