Peoria Chiefs Logo

Peoria Chiefs Logo PNG

Founded in 1983, the Peoria Chiefs were named after the Native American tribe called Peoria. Today, they are the Class-A affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals.

Meaning and history

1996 — 2004

The connection with the St. Louis Cardinals was rather obvious on the 1996 Peoria Chiefs logo as it depicted a northern cardinal, the symbol of the St. Louis Cardinals. The anthropomorphized bird was holding a baseball bat.

2005 — 2012

As the result of the 2005 update, the bird was replaced by a dog. Interestingly enough, the position of the creature and the way it was holding the baseball bat didn’t change at all, so the overall look of the two logos was very much the same.

2013 — Today

In 2013, the emblem was slightly modified: a “C” was added to the dog’s sleeve.
