Historical MLB League Logo

wwines · 08-01-2015, 09:20 AM

I have looked and can't seem to find any historical MLB league logo's, I know the current one has been in use since 1969 or so, but I can not find any before that. Did MLB use a League logo before that and if so could you please post? Thanks for the help.

You'll most likely not find a vintage MLB logo because the AL & NL were really two separate legal entities and only officially merged in the year 2000. That's why you can readily find vintage AL or NL logos but none (official) for the MLB. Check out this article that sort of explains things...

I'm not certain but I am pretty sure that before then there were just the separate American League and National League logos

This was used in the late '60s and early '70s.

I use this one, created by DreamTeams. This thread - http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...tar-logos.html - might be worth perusing for additional retro-but-not-real MLB (and AL & NL) logos.
