LVS 1998-1999 Labeling

1998

CENTERBRAND: In 1998 Louisville Slugger shipped bats with a slightly altered centerbrand to teams at spring training. The only change was to the centerbrand and the changes were slight but clearly noticeable.

Pictured below are the old 1991-1997 centerbrand (top) and new 1998 centerbrand (bottom). On the new centerbrand the "1" in "125" is over the "i" in "Louisville." The ® symbol on the new centerbrand is more perpendicular to the "r" in "Slugger." Finally, the font of the words "Loiusville Slugger" in the new centerbrand is broader than the previous font causing the words to be more spread out in the new centerbrand.

1999

The 1999 Lousville Slugger has all the same Centerbrand and Barrel markings as the 1998, LVS has merely added the Major League Baseball symbol to the space between the Centerbrand and the Barrel. (Thereby making it a lot tougher for those who like to get their game used bats autographed!!)
