While baseball came to Charleston in 1886, the history of the RiverDogs franchise officially started only in 1980. Initially, the team played under the name of the Charleston Royals.
Meaning and history
Since 1994, when the Minor League Baseball team Charleston RiverDogs adopted its current name, its logo has been modified two times.
1996 — 2010
2011 — 2015
Both the 1994 and the 2010 versions featured a dog biting a baseball bat. The creature was placed inside a large blue “C”. The two emblems slightly varied by the color palette.
2016 — Today
While the dog itself was left almost intact, the rest of the logo grew more elaborate and refined, with two new scripts introduced for the wordmark.
Colors
The emblem features navy blue, orange, white, gray, and brown.
