San Antonio Spurs Primary Logo
In 1970, they became a regional franchise called the Texas Chaparrals, then they relocated to San Antonio in 1973. Team officials wanted a name that reflected the Western heritage of Texas, so a contest was held and the name Spurs was chosen. Spurs adding to their dynasty with another championship, their silver, and black logo has become front and center. But existing in the background is the retro “Fiesta” logo. With its tri-colored background, the Fiesta logo’s been gone for more than a decade, but Spurs fans seem to embrace it more and more with each passing day.
