Canadian Football League Logo (CFL Logo)

CFL Logo PNG

Founded in 1956, the Canadian Football League is currently considered the highest level of competition in Canadian football.

Meaning and history

On the logo used from 2002 to 2015, the lettering was black, and there was a red football flying above it. Behind the football, the red leaf could be seen.

1955 — 1968

On the earliest logo, the leaf combining orange, yellow, and green looked rather realistic. It was placed over a baseball housing the lettering “CFL” and surrounded by a blue ribbon with the full name of the league.

1969 — 2002

The following emblem (1969-2002) featured a red leaf over a white helmet with a black outline. The text “CFL” could be seen over the leaf.

2002 — 2015

 On the logo used from 2002 to 2015, the lettering was black, and there was a red football flying above it. Behind the football, the red leaf could be seen.

2015 — Today

On the current emblem, only a part of the leaf is present, while the football is absolutely abstract – there’s only a hint (the black seam on the top). The palette combines black, grey, and red, the traditional color of the Canadian maple leaf. This version of the CFL logo also houses the full name of the league in French.
