On the left is the logo of baseball’s Cleveland Indians when they last won the World Series – in 1948. It was the team’s primary logo from 1940 through 1950. On the right is an alternate logo initiated in 1953 and used until 1972 for merchandising purposes. The “merchandising” logo features Chief Wahoo gleefully peering up at his crown (from the ’48 series win). Ironically, except for an A.L. pennant in 1954 (they were swept by Willie Mays’ New York Giants in the World Series), the Indians never won another “crown” , and the logo was discontinued in ’72.
