Grand Rapids Press December 15th 1993

 The new "official mark" - an orange-and-blue Tiger coming out through an Old English "D," growling and with its claws bared - replaces the Tiger-head-in-a-circle logo, which was deemed unpopular. The new logo was unveiled in a press conference Tuesday at the Fox Theatre, and merchandise featuring the new logo was modeled in an upbeat fashion show.

The press conference and fashion show presentation was very glitzy and featured Tiger owners [Mike Ilitch] and Marian Ilitch, Tiger front office executives, Little Caesars Pizza executives and Tiger players past (Willie Horton, Dave Bergman and Earl Wilson) and present (Alan Trammell and Cecil Fielder).

Trammell and Fielder modeled caps with the logo - blue with an orange bill - that will become part of the Tiger road uniforms, which will be unveiled in February.
