Oakland Athletics Logo
The Oakland Athletics logo has evolved but always centers around an “A” framed by a traditional baseball. The current logo features the “A” in white with a Kelly Green background and a Gold outline, symbolizing energy and excellence. The elephant standing on a baseball in the alternative logo represents long-standing tradition, a mascot chosen to signify strength and resolve based on a taunt from New York Giants’ manager John McGraw in the early 1900s. This choice of imagery in their logos conveys the Athletics’ storied history and their commitment to maintaining a strong, competitive spirit.
