1905 Base Ball Logos

acetonic · 06-18-2006, 09:57 PM

I have started a 1905 historical league and wanted some realistic logos. I borrowed some that were kindly made by folks on here and created new versions of the majority. They are pretty plain by modern standards but true to the era. In most cases, they appear on the uniforms of players in 1905. (The Cubs really didn't have a logo until 1906 so I used that and the Pilgrims just had the word "Boston" in block letters.) I kept white as the backgrounds as I don't think any team used 2 colors at this date.

You can help yourself to all 16 of them HERE

You may have to rename them to match the naming convention in your league.

I can give the hex codes for team colors if anyone wants them. (I may be the only one obsessive enough to care how close the color is) Hope somebody can use these, I plan to make more early logos soon. If anyone has a specific team/year request feel free to ask.

wow, i was looking for something exactly like this, thanks!
also, I'd be interested in the hex codes if you wouldn't mind posting them.

Glad you could use them.
For the colors I used white (#FFFFFF) and the following:

Boston Beaneaters: #DC0000
Boston Pilgrims: #2C32AD
Brooklyn Superbas: #082984
Chicago Cubs: #050157
Chicago White Sox: #050157
Cincinnati Reds: #C30101
Cleveland Naps: #0E0077
Detroit Tigers: #000C6D
New York Giants: #000C6D
New York Highlanders: #06003E
Philadelphia Phillies: #000000
Philadelphia Athletics: #11008D
Pittsburgh Pirates: #0029AD
St. Louis Cardinals: #5F252D
St. Louis Browns: #50281F
Washington Nationals: #000C6D

I used white for the team color and these for text on some teams just to add a little variety.

hey Ace, are you planning to release any other historical logos? I'd also love to see someone come up with a logo for the MLB for this time period. Not sure that it would look like.

I've been thinking about that as well. I don't know if they had a "logo" per se but I'm sure they had some sort of official seal or something that I could work with. I'm looking into it.
