The Burlington Bees are a Minor League Baseball team playing at the Class A level.
Meaning and history
The history of the team roots back to 1889. Originally, it played under the name of the Burlington Babies, while the name the Burlington Bees was first used in 1924.
1993 — 2006
The original Burlington Bees logo featured a character that was a combination of a baseball player and a bee. The creature was holding a baseball bat, while there was the text “BEES” next to it in yellow.
2007 — Today
While the updated logo also sports an anthropomorphized bee, it looks very different. The bee has modified its posture and moved below the logo. The word “Bees” is now given in an artistic script.
Colors
The current Burlington Bees logo features darker and more refined shades of blue and yellow than the old one.
