History of Alabama Crimson Tide: Evolution of the Logo
Alabama Crimson Tide changed its logo in the following ways.
1952
In this logo, you can see a maroon elephant being escorted by a person wearing a hat. Both figures are facing right. There is a football under the front left foot of the elephant and it says Crimson Tide. There is a saddle on the elephant that says UA – both letters overlap each other. All the letters in the logo are capitalized.
1974
In this logo, you can see a large letter A and there is a bluish-grey colored elephant coming through the hollow space of the letter. There is a ribbon in white color with a black outline that says Crimson Tide. All the letters are capitalized. This time the elephant seems a bit angry and is facing left.
2001
This year, the logo gives a vibe of extreme determination and rage. This logo has a half figure of an elephant facing the front. Below it, Alabama is written in white and pink color, and below it, Crimson Tide is written in white color on a black background. All the letters in this logo are capitalized.
2004
This year, the team came up with a minimalized logo idea. The logo consists of 6 nested circles. The fifth circle is red and in it, Alabama Crimson Tide is written in grey color and all the letters are capitalized. In the last circle, there is a red-colored letter written on a white background.
Conclusion
The first logo of Alabama Crimson Tide shows calamity and ease. The next two logos show rage, determination, and an urge to win. The last one may be done because the team has set its standards. We really liked the idea when they skipped the yellow color from the logo – the current color scheme shows power and command.
