But they’ve had over 100 years to land on the design we see today and as you can imagine, the logo changed a few times in that century. While the Cubs debuted their new mascot Clark (see above) just a few years ago in 2014, the team’s actual logo has remained unchanged since ’79 (also see above on the front of Clark’s jersey).

Even something as simple as the ‘Fly the W’ flag – the flag that’s raised every time the Cubs win (and is found in many-a-window here in Chicago) – switched from a white W on a blue background back in the ’80s. In fact, if you ever feel frustrated about an art project you’re working on, browsing through team logos throughout the years is a great way to remind yourself that art is an evolution. You don’t have to be a sports fan to appreciate the design aspect of over a century of team logos. As Chicago nerds and art nerds alike, what better way to celebrate the Cubs season kicking off than by celebrating the art of the team?

It’s the Cubs’ opening day today and given that our HQ is in the Windy City, we can’t help but be pretty excited about this post-win season.
