Rafael Nadal has just started his tour in Latin America with his dear friend Casper Ruud. The local fans will have the opportunity to see the King of Clay in action firsthand. Rafa’s logo will be everywhere. There are no initials or other significant references to Nadal’s name in the logo. However, it is a clear allusion to the name “raging bull.”
The previous logos
As pointed out by a tennis fan on Twitter, Nadal used to have 2 other personal logos before choosing the current one. One used to have just the image of a bull. The second logo was much similar to the current one.
•Fun fact of the day: Did you know that Rafael Nadal had 2 personal logos before the current one that you see today? Here are the 2 that didn’t make the cut. I personally love the 2nd iteration and would love to see it on some of his gear as a throwback. #NikeCourt #Tennis pic.twitter.com/wTtA1pnAI6
