In 1916, the design of the logo was completely changed. The bear was redrawn in blue and is walking with his four legs inside a colored red letter "C" with a thick blue outline. The new color looked powerful and added a sense of danger and determination to the team's identity. The bear is a representation of the team's character and fundamental approach to the game.
