The St. Louis Cardinals current logo is another favorite. It’s bold, balanced, and practically perfect. There is nothing about the logo that needs to be changed.

What’s so perfect about the Cardinals logo is the fact that it involves the bird and baseball gear. Even the initials worn on the hat are done well, as the team incorporates the “St” of Saint and the “L” of Louis.

But, the best hat logo is the bird on the bat. There’s something about that proud Cardinal sitting atop the bat that fits the character of the team. It’s proud and classic. There is no doubt what the team is about when you see that logo. The Cardinal’s navy hats with the bird on the bat are practically perfect in every way.

The current version of the Cardinal looks incredibly strong. Over the years, the Cardinal has gone through a few different looks. It has been a pitcher and a hitter. In those variations, it looks scrappy. But, this current version looks like it never misses a chance to bench press. It looks strong and alert.

Along with the bird featured on the hat, the Cardinals jersey logo is also nearly perfect. The two birds on the bat and the script name simply work. The bat fits nicely through the C in Cardinals. And, to make matters even better, the team announced they are bringing back powder blue jerseys.

Hopefully, they’ll wear those jerseys more than just during a throwback event.
