While the focal point of the Ogden Raptors logo has always been a dinosaur, its look has been evolving over time.
Meaning and history
The Ogden Raptors played their first official game under the current name in 1994, but their history can be traced back to 1977. Though the Minor League Baseball franchise is an affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers, this link isn’t reflected in their logos.
Symbol in 1994-2014
The word “Raptors” was suggested by a 10-year-old girl called Tracy during the name-the-team contest. In return, Tracy received lifetime season tickets.
The old logo was inspired by a dinosaur (a utahraptor, to be precise) that can be seen at the George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park located in the team’s hometown.
Current emblem
The 2015 emblem, which was developed by Jeremy Maxwell of New Era, sports a leaner, sleeker utahraptor. While the core of the logo remained the same, the dinosaur changed its position and adopted a more dynamic look.
