Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp Logo PNG
While a shrimp may seem not exactly a great sports emblem, minor league baseball team from Jacksonville decided to stick to it. It’s a nod to the Jacksonville’s reputation as the River City on the First Coast.
Meaning and history
While the origins of the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp can be traced back to the Jacksonville Suns franchise established in 1962, it was only in 2017 that the current name was adopted. As of 2018, the team is part of the Southern League and has the status of the Triple-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins.
Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp is a very title-winning team with a lot of prizes at various levels. The achievements of the Shrimps include seven League titles, 14 Division ones, eight First-half and 13 Second-half titles, with the latest won in 2017.
As for the club’s affiliations, there have been many, since the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp has quite a long and intense history. The club’s first Major League partnership was in 1962 with the Cleveland Indians, and after that ten more collaborations took place, with the Miami Marlins affiliation signed in 2009.
2017
The focal point of the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp logo is (surprise, surprise!) a shrimp. To create a visual link with the name of the team, the designer drew the creature’s body in the form of the letter “J” (for “Jacksonville”). The water on both sides pays homage to Jacksonville’s nickname the River City.
Secondary emblems
In addition to the primary Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp logo, the franchise has a whole set of alternative emblems and wordmarks. Two of the badges feature the shrimp in different positions. The wordmarks sport an instantly memorable custom type.
Colors
The palette including shades of orange and blue seems perfectly natural for the “river” and “shrimp” theme.
