JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jaguars are celebrating their 30th anniversary with a celebratory new logo, voted on and given the seal of approval by fans.

The team unveiled their 30th logo before the start of the NFL draft on Thursday night, a design that was voted on and picked by fans.

When News4JAX held a fan vote last July, the team’s alternate logo from 1995-98 won the logo battle against the team’s current logo which was introduced in 2013.

The logo in 2013 was the idea of owner Shad Khan, who purchased the team in late 2011 from Wayne Weaver. Jacksonville’s initial logo from its quest to get an NFL franchise was similar to the Jaguars logo of the famous car manufacturer. It sued the team for trademark infringement and forced the Jaguars to change their initial logo.

The Jaguars have already announced that they will wear a throwback jersey this season with their original 1995 logo on it.

The NFL awarded Jacksonville the 30th franchise on Nov. 30, 1993. The first regular season game was Sept. 3, 1995.
