Rochester Americans logo PNG
As an ice hockey team with a more than half a century history, the Rochester Americans have gone through several logos.
Meaning and history
The original Rochester Americans logo, which was introduced in advance of the 1956/57 playing season, featured a large red “R” with the word “Americans” in smaller letters placed over it. Only three years later, the team adopted an emblem that looked like a shield shape cut out of the American flag. The shield was rotated diagonally.
After using an emblem looking like a red mountain in a circle for one playing season in 1971/72, the team returned to its American flag shield. Now, the crest was rotated at a different angle and had the team’s name written across it. It was slightly updated two times.
1956 — 1957
1957 — 1969
1969 — 1972
1972 — Today
Colors
What has remained almost intact, except for minor shifts, throughout more than 50 years of the team’s history, is the color palette inspired by the American flag.
