Description

Los Angeles Dodgers is a professional-level baseball team in the United States. Founded in 1883 by Guggenheim Baseball Management headquartered in Los Angeles, California. The team joined the National League in 1890 as the Brooklyn Bridegrooms.
Four businessmen founded the team Charles Ebbets, Ferdinand Abell, Harry Von der Horst, and Ned Hanlon. They owned the LA Dodgers until 1904. Henry Medicus replaced Von der Horst, the new owners managed the franchise for 2.5 years. In 1907, only two of them remained, Charles Ebbets and Henry Medicus.
The Dodgers found immediate success in Los Angeles by winning the 1959 World Series. Success continued into the 1960s with their pitchers Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax, the bedrock of two more titles in 1963 and 1965.
In 1929, a year later, the color of the letter on the logo changed to light purple, and a thin bright red outline is added to the design.
