Dodgers unveil 60th anniversary logo

The Dodgers unveiled their 60th anniversary logo Tuesday, celebrating six decades in Los Angeles.

The logo, unveiled at a City Hall event by Dodger greats Steve Garvey, Fernando Valenzuela, Ron Cey and Steve Yeager along with broadcaster Charlie Steiner and Los Angeles City Councilmember Gil Cedillo, will be worn as a uniform patch during the 2018 season. The unveiling was part of this week’s Dodgers Love L.A. Community Tour presented by Bank of America.

The focal point of the logo is Los Angeles’ iconic City Hall building, which was the tallest building in the city when the Dodgers moved from Brooklyn in 1958. The Dodgers celebrated their first Opening Day with a ceremony at City Hall and a parade through Los Angeles that ended at the Coliseum, the team’s temporary home from 1958–61 before Dodger Stadium opened in 1962.

The ten stars around the logo’s border represent the Dodgers’ 10 National League pennants won in Los Angeles and include five silver stars to denote their World Series championships since 1958. The stars are six-pointed, signifying the Dodgers’ six decades in Los Angeles.

The Dodgers’ anniversary is currently being commemorated at “60 Years in LA” — A Pop-Up Museum Experience presented by Mastercard on the Left Field Reserve, and will continue to be celebrated throughout the 2018 season.
