MLB Logo Description: The official MLB logo is often called the "Batterman" or "Umpire" logo. It features a white generic baseball player silhouette focusing on a white baseball silhouette in a batterman stance behind a red and blue background. The colorway red, white and blue represents the American flag colors.

The MLB official Batterman logo was designed by Jerry Dior in 1968. There have been speculation that the "Mystery Man" behind the MLB logo is Minnesota Twins Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew, however, this rumor hasn't been confirmed. Killebrew was convinced that the MLB logo was created after him. In his words Killebrew stated:

"He had a photograph of me in a hitting position, and he had one of those grease pencils that you see at a newspaper, and he was marking that thing up. I said, 'What are you doing with that?' and he said they were going to make a new Major League Baseball logo. I never thought any more about it. And then the logo came out and it did look like me."

The problem is that Killebrew stance wasn't unique. In fact many other MLB baseball players had a similar stance. Jerry Dior, the designer of the MLB logo stated that it was in fact not Harmon Killebrew or any other particular baseball player. The "Mystery Man" silhouette in the MLB logo is of a generic baseball player.

There are 30 Major League Baseball (MLB) teams. Many of these baseball teams have more than one logos. Reasons vary from just needing an updated logo or the team moved to a different region so their new logo reflects that change. Some MLB teams have undergone a complete name and logo change as they have evolved over the years. Two of MLB's most popular teams come to mind as a perfect example, the Atlanta Braves & Houston Astros. The Atlanta Braves were once called the Boston Bees and the Houston Astros were once known as the Houston Colt .45s. Both logos went through a drastic change.
