There was no official World Series logo until 1978. In 2003 (the 100th anniversary of the first modern World Series,) my friends at MLB commissioned me to imagine what logos of the un-logoed past might have looked like. Here are a few.
I took this photo at the Oakland Coliseum on May 6, 1992. The A's averaged 30,792 fans at home that season. Feeling all the feels for the fans there today, so much baseball passion and history from the Oakland Oaks to the Swingin' A's.
Closing time at the Oakland Coliseum. I took this photo there on May 6, 1992, a very different stadium back then and a different time—the A's averaged 30,792 fans at home that season. Green and gold hats off to Oakland, now and forever.
"You lollygag the ball around the infield. You lollygag your way down to first. You lollygag in and out of the dugout. You know what that makes you? Lollygaggers."
In 1976 the Tampa Bay Buccaneers touted their first set of uniforms. No longwinded and contrived marketspeak here, just the facts. And an Errol Flynn reference.
29 years ago today I set off on my own, Day One of Todd Radom Design, full-time. My last full time job ended with my passive-aggressive boss removing all the furniture from my tiny office, leaving me with no work to do & nowhere to sit. Things have worked out well.
The man who created the most enduring logo in
#WhiteSox
history passed away last October. John Hatzikalfas was a US Army veteran and a graduate of NYC's School of Visual Arts (also my alma mater.) 33 years after its debut, his logo continues to represent the club with distinction
Ummmmm..... I was the one who created it, 25 years ago, by hand. I can show you the original pencil sketches as well as the final art, rendered with a radiograph pen, on Denril. Now tell me about this "MS Paint" program...

The crossed bats Brewers logo looks like it was created by someone who has mastered MS Paint but refuses to upgrade to better graphics programs.
