There'a actual mention of it on their website that I could find.\nBut it looks like a picture of a Bulldog to me.\nwww.eastonsd.com/athletics

If by logo you mean coat of arms, then it appears to be a castle on a hilltop, with crossbows above and on each side of it.\n\nhttp://www.sephardim.com/crests/ballestero.gif

For sports like football and basketball, it's critical that the two teams look different. Imagine the chaos if every football player wore a white jersey-- the quarterback would never know who to pass to, the linemen wouldn't know who to block, etc. That's why each team has to have at least two different jersey colors.\n\nIt's not that important for baseball, since it's pretty obvious who is on offense and who is on defense. It's just been baseball tradition that the road team wears some kind of gray uniform. That dates back to days when laundry facilities on the road were a little suspect, so teams wore gray unis to hide the dirt a little better.

Always have been and always will be a Denver Broncos fan. My goal is to tattoo the logo on my leg. Every week I faithfully put on my jersey and my cap and my necklace and I also paint my face, whether it's grease paint or blue and orange and white. If I had a barrel I'd try to emulate Barrel Man.So yes, ALL THE WAY!!!!! Even if they do look not so good sometimes they are still my team. I can't wait for Jay Cutler to take the field though.\n\nIf you want to see every Broncos game do a search on buzz boxes or free to air receivers......

i'm not sure which logos you are looking for in particular but try these. the first one has general branch logos, the second has some division logos.

In 1962, Republic Steel of Cleveland approached the Steelers and suggested that they consider the Steelmark, the insignia used by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), as a helmet logo to honor Pittsburgh's steel heritage. The Steelmark logo, a circle enclosing three hypocycloids (diamonds with inward-curving edges) and the word STEEL, was created by U.S. Steel Corp. (now known as USX Corp.) to educate consumers about the importance of steel in their daily lives. [blockquote]The colors were chosen to promote the attributes for steel: yellow lightens your work; orange brightens your leisure; and blue widens your world. The logo's meaning was later amended to represent the three materials used to produce steel: yellow for coal; orange for iron ore; and blue for steel scrap.[/blockquote]\n\nThe Steelers liked the idea presented by Republic Steel, despite the fact that the company was located in the city of their bitterest rival, the Cleveland Browns, and proudly sported the new logo on their helmets for the 1962 season. After qualifying that year for their first-ever postseason game, they changed the color of their helmets from gold to solid black, which also served to highlight the new logo they felt had brought them good luck.\n\nThe new Steelmark logo was originally only applied to one side of the helmet (the right side) by equipment manager Jack Hart because the Steelers were uncertain how it would look on their solid gold helmets. Even when they later switched their helmet color to solid black, they decided to permanently retain the logo on just the one side due to the team's new success and the interest generated by the logo's uniqueness. The Steelers are now the only team in the NFL to sport its logo on only one side of the helmet.

They are replicas of the real helmets used in the NFL.  \n\nhttp://www.sidelinemvp.com/mini_helmets.html

One side of the baseball has the commissioner of baseball's imprinted signature.  A. Bartlett Giomatti was the comissioner of the National League from 1986- April 1989.  I was probably in that time period

I did a bit of checking on this, and I don't have a definitive answer. Maybe the info below will get you on the right track, though.  \n\nThe 1938 Cincinnati Reds used the wishbone C on their uniforms, according to Major League Baseball's website (first link).  \n\nThe Minnesota Twins began using the wishbone C (in their TC logo) in 1961 (second link).\n\nThe Chicago Bears started using the wishbone C in 1962 (second link).  Bearshistory.com also mentions that Carroll College (Waukesha, Wisconsin) and the University of Chicago both use the wishbone C on their uniforms and may have been the source of the Bear's logo.  I haven't been able to find a date when Carroll or U. of Chicago started using the wishbone C, though, so I can't tell you if the Cincinnati Reds used it first or not.  \n\nHope that helps.  :)

I think it's on an angle.  Other jerseys on the team seem on angle.  I noticed this during Italy's game.

Well, one theory is that it originated from an annual football game between the two teams from the English town of Ashbourne, Derbyshire. \n\nBut thats just one theory.

I used to think this was like tearing down the goalposts. Hey, it's destruction of property. It's all the same thing, right? Um, no. Not even close. It looks like NC State was the first team to do this back in 1947. I've wondered where this tradition started. Now I know!

Most schools have websites, and if they have a division 1 sports program then there should be media guide on the website of their athletic team.\n\nAlso, you can eliminate a color easily using Microsoft Photo Editor or pretty much any advanced photo software, so if the backround color does not appear in the logo, just nuke it out.
