Washington finally got a major sports championship for the first time since 1991, and to celebrate I’ve redesigned the Nationals logo. The current Nats logo is downright uninspiring and its no wonder they haven’t won a playoff series in their 14 year existence with that as their insignia. I used the Capitol building as the centerpiece of this logo and made its outline the baseball diamond. The Washington Monument extends from home plate and the initials DC sit on both sides of it. Maybe there’s too much going on here but with a city that’s as iconic as DC, a W in a circle that says Washington Nationals is just lazy.

Chief Wahoo got run out Cleveland faster than Eric Mangini and the new red C logo is a pathetic attempt to put 67 years of racism behind them. I’m one of the most politically incorrect people you’ll ever meet but the grinning Indian face logo was actually racist and stupid to boot. Anyway from 1921-1927 the Indians used a C like the one above. I updated it a bit and added a baseball in the center with a pair of feathers tied to the letter. It’s pretty innocuous but the liberals will probably find a way to say that it’s “culturally appropriating Native American culture.” Not that I care though.

If MLB wants to expand, they should definitely consider Nashville as a top city to gift with a baseball team. The Music City’s an up and coming city and the state of Tennessee already has 3 major league sports teams with two of them playing in Nashville (the Predators and Titans). To give a nod to the fact that Nashville’s the music capital of America, I’ve strung two eighth notes together to form an N for Nashville with the noteheads filled in with baseballs. The N/2 eighth notes are on a wavy musical staff that makes it look like it’s flying through the air. As for the team colors, I used the Predators yellow, blue and grey. I don’t know if it’s good but I thought it was clever

Now the Tampa Bay Rays might just have one of the coolest names in sports. You’d think with a dope name like that, their logo would reflect all that awesomeness. But no they had to do away with the manta ray logo that they used from 1998-2007 and replace it with a remarkably bland and a generic wording of the team name. Despite being really badass fish, rays are pretty awkwardly shaped so I decided to keep the stylized RAYS logo and add a stingray underlining the wording whilst stemming from the R. It’s simple and I’m not a fan of the team name being the primary logo but at least the ray is back.

I really like teams that wear purple and the Colorado Rockies are the only team in baseball that has that color so I had to do a logo rebrand for them. The one they have now just isn’t very good and I feel that they need a new logo. Using the old NHL Colorado Rockies mountain outline I drew 3 trees, a river and snow capped mountains with the team initials at the bottom to pay tribute to the mountainous terrain of the Centennial State. On the right I did a similar drawing but instead of trees, I put a baseball moon above the mountains. This was all done within the outline of a baseball diamond and I have to say this design is my favorite of the two.

The Milwaukee Brewers are my second favorite MLB team because I have family out in the Badger State and while their current logo isn’t on the level of the Marlins or the D’backs, it could definitely be better. So I came up with a logo that works with the team name. The beer mug with the Milwaukee M and the foam overflowing evokes images of watching baseball sipping beer on a hot summer afternoon. The barley stalks turning into baseball bats crossed behind the beer mug gives off a classic vibe. This is one of my favorite logo designs and not just because I like beer.

While we’re on the subject of appalingly bad logos, the Arizona Diamondbacks have a history of bad logos from the weird snake shaped like a D to the A with a rattler pattern which might just give the Marlins a run for their money in a who has the worst logo in the majors competition. So here are 2 versions of the D’backs that I drew. The one on the right was the original one but I like the one on the left better. It’s a rattlesnake contorted into the letter A for Arizona as its striking its enemy. The one of the right is a rattlesnake wrapped around a baseball like its an egg and warding off enemies.
