===Logo=== [[File:Cincinnati Reds logo (1915 - 1919).png|thumb|right|Logo (1915β1919)]] Throughout the team's history, many different variations of the classic wishbone "C" logo have been introduced. In the team's early history, the Reds logo has been simply the wishbone "C" with the word "REDS" inside, the only colors used being red and white. However, during the 1950s, during the renaming and re-branding of the team as the Cincinnati Redlegs because of the connections to communism of the word "Reds," the color blue was introduced as part of the Reds color combination.<ref>{{cite web |last=Yglesias |first=Matthew |url=http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2012/03/communist_bo_xilai_gets_ousted_why_do_communists_like_red_so_much_.html |title=Communist Bo Xilai gets ousted: Why do communists like red so much? |work=Slate Magazine |date=March 20, 2012 |access-date=June 19, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120618083916/http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2012/03/communist_bo_xilai_gets_ousted_why_do_communists_like_red_so_much_.html |archive-date=June 18, 2012 |url-status=live }}</ref> During the 1960s and 1970s, the Reds saw a move toward the more traditional colors, abandoning the navy blue. A new logo also appeared with the new era of baseball in 1972, when the team went away from the script "REDS" inside of the "C," instead putting their mascot, Mr. Redlegs, in its place as well as putting the name of the team inside of the wishbone "C." In the 1990s, the more traditional, early logos of Reds came back with the current logo reflecting more of what the team's logo was when they were founded.<ref>{{cite web|title=History of Reds Logos|url=https://www.mlb.com/reds/one-fifty/redslogos|publisher=[[MLB Advanced Media]]|website=Reds.com|access-date=January 13, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190114153321/https://www.mlb.com/reds/one-fifty/redslogos|archive-date=January 14, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>
