Meaning and history
The baseball franchise the Eugene Emeralds, which belongs to the Northwest League, has updated its logo twice since 2004.
2004 — 2009
The 2004 Eugene Emeralds logo depicted the letters “EMS” with a baseball flying over them. The design was placed inside a dark green shield with two crisscrossed baseball bats behind.
2010 — 2012
As a result of the 2010 redesign, the lettering “EMS” was replaced by “Emeralds” and a depiction of the Emerald Valley was added.
2013 — Today
The current logo, which was developed in collaboration with Brandiose, features Sasquatch, a creature that, according to North American folklore, lives in the woods of the Oregon state.
Colors
Using the fluorescent green as a logo color has been problematic for a minor league team with a limited printing budget.
