The Ravens were forced to switch their helmet logo for the 1999 season. Security guard Frederick Bouchat contended that he had created the Ravens’ logo—a “B” inside a winged shield—that had been used from 1996 through 1998. Bouchat sued the team for $10 million, and although he received no damages, a judge upheld a jury's verdict supporting the claim[1]
The team's new logo—the profile of a raven's head with the letter "B"—was voted on by 7,000 fans in a poll by The Baltimore Sun.[2] The updated logo remains in use by the team.
