Much like this dodgers cap, the Hanshin Tigers cap logo consists of two letters intertwined to create an identity that's easily recognizable. While it's not the most creative of ideas...it doesn't really have to be. What better way to represent your city than with a baseball cap that contains the initials of the team or the city? Logos like these are well liked by many due to the accessibility of the branding and the easy recognizability. It may be bold, but I'd say I enjoy the Hanshin Tigers logo much more than I enjoy the Western baseball teams logos. The H and T are perfectly symmetrical, and the type of the letters is based off uniquely eastern design aesthetics. The H will remind some of the arching top of the Osaka Castle, or the curved blade of a samurai sword. The top of the T also looks like a bridge, which osaka has a couple of (represented by the two arches on the top of the T). The logo is deceptively simple yet you can take many meanings from it. And even if you aren't trying to find a deeper meaning, the symmetry and the classic baseball design is pleasing the see and to wear as you represent your team.
