The iconic overlapping interlocking "LA" logo has a complex historical lineage shared across Southern California baseball history, but the Los Angeles Dodgers utilized their classic stylized script and logo framework following their historic relocation from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1958. The Angels adopted various iterations of the "LA" insignia when the expansion franchise was established in 1961 under Gene Autry, leading to a long-standing regional tradition of both historic franchises featuring variations of the famous initials.
