Posted By: <b>Len</b><p>I have several and believe they are from the forty's. Prior to the end of the '30's,the Reds logo featured the word &quot;REDS&quot; within the larger &quot;C&quot;.Around 1939,the logo changed to show the word &quot;REDS&quot; coming out of the &quot;C&quot;.My understanding is that in the early 1950's,&quot;REDS&quot; changed to &quot;Red Legs&quot; because of the Sen.McCarthy hearings looking for Reds(commies).Hope this helps.
