The history of the Lexington Legends team started in 2001 when it was established as the Minor League Baseball franchise Which competed in the South Atlantic League and had the status of the Class A affiliate of the Kansas City Royals. However, things changed at the beginning of the 2020s, and today the Legends are members of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball.
Meaning and history
Lexington Legends is quite a strong and promising team, which has won four League championships: three of which in the South Atlantic League as the Kansas City Royals farm club, and the latest one, in 2021, while already being a member of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, which is a partner of the MLB. By the way, there was one season in the franchise’s history, when its name was changed to the Lexington Counter Clocks. It was in 2023 but didn’t last long, and the Legends came back the next year.
In terms of visual identity, the franchise is also very confident and professional. Although the Lexington Legends logo has gone through an update in 2012, the main hero remained the same – it’s the team’s mascot, a mustachioed baseball player nicknamed “Big L.” The mascot is a perfect representation of masculinity, strength, and boldness.
2001 — 2012
The earliest Lexington Legends logo featured the word “Legends” in a serif type in blue with Big L depicted above the letters “N” and “D.”
2013 — Today
The version adopted in 2013 replaces the serif font with a green script, moves Big L to the left, and makes him bigger in comparison with the lettering.
Colors
On the 2013 emblem, the color scheme has been simplified. It now comprises blue, green, and white.
