Meaning and history
While the logo of the Johnson City Cardinals is aligned with that of its parent team, it is still distinctive and instantly recognizable.
1975 — 1994
Although the cardinal bird depicted on the Johnson City Cardinals logo was inspired by the bird from the parent team’s logo, it looked absolutely different. The creature holding a baseball bat was ready for a game. Next to it, there was the name of the team in front of a mountain range.
The bird could be seen on the cap insignia, too. Here, it was standing between the letters “J” and “C.”
1995 — Today
The 2018 update resulted in a logo looking closer to that of the parent team.
