The first one: Sport and Club were translated to Portuguese: \u201cEsporte\u201d and \u201cClube\u201d. The second one: two stars were added in 1989, representing both national league titles. The third demands a more thorough explanation: the current logo no longer has a faithful copy of the state logo, since the triangle shape was removed, and, in its place there is now another smaller flag of the current one (a flag within a flag), in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.correio24horas.com.br\/ec-bahia\/marcio-luis-f-nascimento-por-que-o-escudo-do-bahia-e-unico-0914\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cstructure that has similarities with diagrams and visual aspects of what mathematicians call fractals<\/a>\u201d, according to Marcio Luis F. Nascimento, professor from UFBA (Federal University of Bahia). But a question remains: when and why did Bahia lose its triangle?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I could not find a a definitive answer in books about Bahia football history. However, I present here an hypothesis that I find to be very plausible; here we reach the part where Mr. Vargas comes in. For an easier comprehension, it is important to briefly tell what happened between 1930 and Bahia\u2019s emblem changing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It ended in 1930 the political alliance between \u201cMineiros\u201d (people from the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais) and \u201c\u00b4Paulistas\u201d (people from S\u00e3o Paulo state), because when they chose Julio Prestes, then Governor of S\u00e3o Paulo, as a canditate for the Presidency of Brazil, the \u201cPaulistas\u201d broke the agreed rotation of Presidents from both sides. Elected by popular vote, Prestes had his inauguration prevented by the armed forces led by the states of Minas Gerais, Para\u00edba and Rio Grande do Sul, in which was called \u201c1930 Revolution\u201d (or 1930 Coup). Vargas was chosen as Chief of the Interim Government that lasted untill 1934. When the new Constitution was promulgated in 1934, he was elected President by the Constituent Assembly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 1937, with a new Constitution, Vargas imposed an authoritarian in Brazil, the period which later would be known as \u201cEstado Novo\u201d (New State). Its second article, remnant of the grudge still present caused by the armed conflicts between \u201cPaulista forces\u201d and \u201cBrazilian forces\u201d, prohibited every symbol but the national ones; thus, banned, among others, State Flags:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Art. 2\u00ba &#8211; National flag, anthem, logo and coat of arms are of mandatory use all around the country. There would no other flags, anthems, logos and coat of arms. Law will regulate the us of national symbols.<\/p>\n<p>Because of that, only seventeen days later, there was an infamous ceremony with the presence of the President, in which all Brazilian State Flags were symbolically incinerated. In that event, Francisco Campos, then Secretary of Justice said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.infoescola.com\/historia\/queima-das-bandeiras-estaduais\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flag of Brazil, today you are the only one. Raised at this moment in all national territory. Alone and only, there is no place for other flags, symbols. Brazilians are gathered around Brazil and state this time determined to not allow discord to come back again to split it, that Brazil is only one homeland and there is no room for other thinking in Brazil, nor space and devotion for another flag other than this one&#8230;\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Therefore, it is reasonable to argue that was why Bahia had the change in its logo mentioned in this article.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PS: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MichelNeuhaus\/status\/1273969200772583426?t=XtgcuO3IZc9l-vcSwIBDDw&amp;s=08\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Michel Neuhaus, talented Brazilian Artist and Designer, drew two beautiful, updated versions of Bahia\u2019s logo with the State Flag<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/otaviopinto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bahia-escudoreformulado.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2593\" src=\"https:\/\/otaviopinto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bahia-escudoreformulado.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1530\" height=\"1099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/otaviopinto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bahia-escudoreformulado.jpg 1530w, https:\/\/otaviopinto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bahia-escudoreformulado-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/otaviopinto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bahia-escudoreformulado-1024x736.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/otaviopinto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bahia-escudoreformulado-768x552.jpg 768w, https:\/\/otaviopinto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bahia-escudoreformulado-816x586.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1530px) 100vw, 1530px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_counters\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/lang\/pt\/share-small.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top:2px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_c=new Array(\"twitter\",\"facebook_like\",\"facebook_send\",\"pinterest\",\"email\",\"print\",\"linkedin\");var hupso_counters_lang = \"pt_BR\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_twitter_via=\"blogdootavio\";var hupso_url_c=\"\";var hupso_title_c=\"Get%C3%BAlio%20Vargas%20and%20Bahia%E2%80%99s%20logo\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/counters.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_counters\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/lang\/pt\/share-small.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top:2px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_c=new Array(\"twitter\",\"facebook_like\",\"facebook_send\",\"pinterest\",\"email\",\"print\",\"linkedin\");var hupso_counters_lang = \"pt_BR\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_twitter_via=\"blogdootavio\";var hupso_url_c=\"\";var hupso_title_c=\"Get%C3%BAlio%20Vargas%20and%20Bahia%E2%80%99s%20logo\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/counters.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div><p>This post title may confuse you reader; how are related Get\u00falio Bargas, late former President of Brazil, and the logo of football\/soccer club Bahia?
