MLB Logos: Ranking the five best designs in the league

The Arizona Diamondbacks honestly have some of the worst logos in the game. But, they also have one of the best.

The block A is simply an unfortunate logo that attempts to capture the spirit of the Southwest, but doesn’t quite make it. What does work is the face of the snake with its fangs holding the baseball in place.

The snake-face logo comes in two variations. The first has the D-backs current colors of black, Sedona Red, and Sonoran Sand. The second variation includes an outline of teal. While teal doesn’t necessarily scream baseball, it actually doesn’t look bad. It’s still significantly better than that ugly block A.

The snake face is an alternative logo worn on caps during the Players’ Weekend as well as on Labor Day and a few other weekends. But, the snake face was on one sleeve of nearly every jersey worn during the 2018 season.

Diamondbacks fans can buy plenty of gear that feature the snake face. If the players can’t wear the snake face on their jerseys, at least fans can buy tees with the face front and center. It looks great on the front of a black tee.

Hopefully, the 2019 D-backs can have more of the snake and less of the block A. Since the A – in its current form – has only been on hats since 201, a change is probably not coming very soon.
