Asheville Tourists Logo PNG
The franchise, which now plays in the Class A South Atlantic League, traces its roots as far back as to 1897. It has been a farm team of the Major League franchise Colorado Rockies since 1994.
Meaning and history
The Minor League Baseball team the Asheville Tourists has had its logo updated three times since 1980.
1980 — 2004
The bear featured on the Asheville Tourists logo introduced in 1980 was a combination of a baseball player and a tourist. He was holding a baseball bat in one paw and a suitcase in the other, and there was also a camera.
2005 — 2010
The following logo, which was adopted in 2005, focused on a large white “A,” which was placed in front of a mountain range.
2011 — Today
While the mountain theme is also present on the current logo, it has a totally different look here. Now, it’s part of a serene night scene, with bright stars shining over the peaks. A baseball is given in the form of a comet. The word “Tourists” is scripted in white over the mountain, while the lettering “Asheville” is given in jade.
