Lions logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Meaning and history The team traces its roots to the club called Transvaal and then the Gauteng Lions.
- Transvaal was the name used during the three years when the Super 10 competition ran (1993-1995).
- When the Super 12 competition started in 1996, Transvaal also took part in it.
- This season has been remembered as a highly successful one, especially in comparison with the team’s first season.
- 1996 — 1998 From 1996 to 2005, the club played under the name of the Cats, or Golden Cats.
- The original logo depicted a cat’s head with the mouth open.
- You could see the sharp fangs conveying the aggressive and wild character of the creature (so that we could assume the players possessed the same qualities).
- The cat positioned his ears in the way they do when they quarrel with other cats.
- The “C” and “S” didn’t have serifs, while the “A” and “T” featured rather heavy serifs.
- The palette was utterly different from the current one.
- The letters were gold with white and blue outlines.
- 2005 — Today When the team was renamed the Lions in 2006, it adopted a completely different logo with a new color scheme.
- Colors Red, white, gold, and black are the only colors used on both the Lions logo and uniform.
- We can say, the combination of the colors and the bright shade of red are pretty popular in commercial design, yet it’s also eye-catching and emotional.
