Meaning and history
1993 — 2004
The very first logo for Fort Wayne Tincaps was created in 1993 when the team was just established under the name Fort Wayne Wizards. The original emblem featured a white and black portrait of a Wizard man, who was holding an enlarged baseball in his hands. The image was placed in a dark blue background and has no additional lettering.
2005 — 2008
The redesign of 2005 introduced a modern and cool version of the Fort Wayne Wizards logo. The color palette got extended to blue, green, white, and light gray, which looked cold, close to silver. The Wizard portrait was replaced by the drawing of a large green lizard, which was holding a white baseball bat. The creature was placed on a circular background with a starry pattern, and complemented by a stylish custom wordmark in gray, with a double blue and green outline.
2009 — Today
The centerpiece of the Fort Wayne TinCaps logo is an angry red apple wearing a silver cooking pot instead of a hat. The words “Tin” and “caps” in a grey script are placed to the left and to the right respectively.
Cap emblem
On their caps, the players wear the same angry red apple as on the primary logo but without the script.
Colors
The five-color palette includes forest green, red, tin, black, and white.
