New York Mets

1962–1980


The New York Mets ' original logo, designed by Sporting News cartoonist Ray Gotto, uses the colors of New York's then-recently departed National League teams: the blue of the Brooklyn Dodgers and the orange of the New York Giants (both of which are also the colors of the New York state flag). The logo features buildings from each of the five boroughs of New York City (from left to right): a church spire, the Williamsburgh Savings Bank, the Woolworth Building, the Empire State Building, and the United Nations headquarters.

1981–1992
In 1981, the outline of the word "Mets" was made thinner, and the lining on the baseball was removed.

1993–1998
In 1993, the color scheme was slightly darkened, while the logo itself underwent some slight cosmetic changes (most notably the Williamsburgh Savings Building).

1999–present
In 1999, the "NY" monogram was removed from the logo.
