Like most teams of the day the team frequently changed uniforms and colour schemes in the early part of the 20th Century, switching from blue to maroon to black and even a season in green all within 10 years.
#PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES FONT PROFESSIONAL#
The Phillies name is the longest continously used nickname in professional North American sport. Newspaper writers shortened the lengthy city name in headlines to "Phillies" and by the 1890 season the team had adopted that as their official team name. They initially adopted the name "Philadelphia Quakers" after the large population of members of that religious sect in Pennsylvania before officially changing their name to the Philadelphias. As one of the most recognized teams in professional sports, the future is indeed bright.The Philadelphia Phillies joined the National League as an expansion team for the 1883 season, a last-minute replacement for the Worcester Brown Stockings who unexpectedly folded following 1882. One thing that is for sure is that the team still benefits from a worldwide fan base. Who knows what the future holds for the Phillies logo. The ‘Phillies’ is also more pronounced and a bit longer. This new logo has a bigger blue Liberty Bell, without the baseball diamond. The red scripted word ‘Phillies’ was spelled out over the bell. Until recently, the logo with the Liberty Bell inside of a baseball diamonds. Subsequent years turns the color to maroon. The 1981 season has the P in a red color, with a baseball in the center. The single ‘P’ would make a comeback for 10 seasons. The work mark was now red and contained the scripted word ‘Phillies’. The cap had a baseball that was circling it, complete with four stars around the circle. This era saw the logo change again with a red Phillies cap. The wordmark was in white and below the players. There would be a red square, and inside that was a Phillies player sliding into home with the catcher there, but the ball has not yet arrived. This one would not last long, but it was a blue jay sitting on top of the scripted red ‘Phillies’. One of the things they did was redesign the logo. Fan attendance was at a near record low, so the club hired an outside marketing consultant to try and turn it all around. It was also smack dab in the middle of what would become a 16 years losing streak for the team. This season would be right in the middle of World War II. The wordmark is still yellow, forming the words PHILADELPHIA NATIONAL LEAGUE BASEBALL CLUB. The circle is now gray with a soft red trim going around it. The difference is that the Philadelphian is now standing in the middle of a baseball field that is light blue in color. Here we see the same emblem that started the logo design back in 1915. The circle is also yellow, as are the now iconic words ‘PHILADELPHIA NATIONAL LEAGUE BASEBALL CLUB”. You will notice that the emblem is still the same, but the Philadelphian is now standing up in the middle of a baseball diamond that is yellow. The logo would change for this one season. There is also a white wordmark that forms the words PHILADELPHIA NATIONAL LEAGUE BASEBALL CLUB. The circle around the logo is red and has a subtle blue trim. This would have a Philadelphian standing out in the middle of a baseball diamond that is dark blue. Many consider this to actually be the first Phillies Logo, as it was much more than just a block letter ‘P’. This one was in red and was a bit thinner than the earlier designs. The block letter ‘P’ would return from 1911-1914. That ‘P’ would be in green and would be in use for one season. The team switched to an Old English style font for the 1910 season. Interestingly enough, that would only last for one season, after which the color of the ‘P’ changed to black. This would see a Blue P in a block letter format as the logo. The first ever Phillies team took the field in 1900. Here is a brief history and evolution of the Philadelphia Phillies logo for you. This is the face of the team, and it has changed more than a few times throughout the years. It is a team that multiple generations of people across the region have grown up following. In fact, many would argue that Philadelphia and the Phillies are joined at the hip. They are one of the few teams today that have been around for more than 100 years and are still playing in the same city. As one of the most storied and oldest franchises in Major League Baseball, the Philadelphia Phillies have attracted a fan base around the world.
