Since 2009, when the baseball team Bowling Green Hot Rods was founded, it has gone through two logo updates. One of them was barely noticeable, while the other included a complete overhaul.
Meaning and history
The Minor League Baseball franchise Bowling Green Hot Rods appeared in Bowling Green, Kentucky, in 2009. However, the team itself wasn’t new – it existed since 2001 under various names and changed its location more than once.
Today, the Bowling Green Hot Rods are the Class A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays and belong to the Midwest League.
Old symbol
The old Bowling Green Hot Rods logo depicted a yellow hot rod with two prominent flames. The wheels of the car and both the letters “O” in the name of the team above were made in the form of baseballs.
The 2016 emblem
The roundel logo developed by SME Branding featured large orange “B” and “G” encircled by the text “Bowling Green Hot Rods” in white.
