Okay, so the other day I found myself going down a bit of a rabbit hole online. It started pretty randomly, I think I saw a baseball cap somewhere with a logo I didn’t recognize, and it got me thinking about baseball leagues outside the US. My mind just jumped to Mexico, probably because it’s right next door, you know? So, I decided to check out what their team logos looked like.
First thing I did, naturally, was just typing something like “mexican baseball teams logos” into the search bar. Man, a whole bunch of stuff popped up. It was kinda cool but also a bit messy. Lots of different images, some looked old, some new, and I wasn’t even sure if they were all for the same league.
Digging In a Bit
I realized pretty quick I needed to narrow it down. I saw mentions of the “Liga Mexicana de Beisbol” or LMB quite a bit, so I figured that was probably the main professional league, kinda like MLB in the States. So, I focused my search on that. Okay, that helped filter things a little.
Then I started actually looking at the logos one by one. Took some time just clicking through image search results and team websites when I could find them (though I wasn’t really trying to read the sites, just grabbing the logo visuals).
What I Noticed
- Lots of Animals: Seemed like a ton of teams use animals. I saw tigers, bulls, parrots, lions, eagles… you name it. Way more animal mascots than I expected, and they often looked pretty fierce or dynamic.
- Bright Colors: Many logos used really vibrant colors. Lots of bright reds, greens, yellows, and blues. They felt really energetic, more so than some of the more traditional-looking MLB logos sometimes.
- Regional Flair?: Some logos seemed like they might have local symbols, maybe related to the city or state’s history? Hard to tell for sure without knowing the areas, but some had pyramids or specific kinds of lettering that felt unique.
- Variety: There was a good mix. Some looked very modern and polished, others had a more classic, old-school baseball script vibe. It wasn’t just one style across the board.
I spent a good while just looking. For example, I remember seeing one with a really aggressive-looking tiger that stood out. Another had this cool parrot design, very colorful. It was interesting seeing the different artistic takes on team branding compared to what I’m used to seeing.
It wasn’t always easy, mind you. Sometimes finding a really clear, high-quality version of a logo was tricky. And obviously, most of the info about the teams or the logo history was in Spanish, which I don’t really speak, so I couldn’t get much background story. I was mostly just appreciating the visuals.
Wrapping Up
Overall, it was a fun little detour. Just a simple curiosity that led me to explore something new. I really liked the energy and creativity in a lot of the LMB logos. They have a distinct flavor, often very colorful and bold. Makes me kinda want to actually watch a game sometime or maybe even grab a cap if I see one I really like. It’s cool to see how different places put their own spin on the look and feel of baseball.
