LSMF Gets New Look

As part of Louisville Slugger's historic rebranding, Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory debuted a new logo to reflect its parent company's brand evolution.

"We chose to update the logo now to reflect the reality that our company, products and culture are evolving with the times," said John Hillerich, fifth-generation CEO of Hillerich & Bradsby Co.

While Louisville Slugger is the most recognizable name in baseball, this is only the second significant change to its logo since the iconic brand made its first bat in 1884. Several minor changs were made over the decades, but the biggest change came in 1980 when the brand name "Louisville Slugger" replaced the company name "Hillerich & Bradsby" in the center of the oval.
