What’s the story?

Recently, the self-proclaimed “leader” of the Bullet Club, Cody Rhodes, wanted to retire the classic logo of the faction and eventually introduce symbol to represent the BC.

However, according to a recent tweet from OneHour Tees, it looks like those plans have now apparently been scrapped.

In case you didn’t know…

The classic logo of the Bullet Club, featuring the Bone Soldier, was first introduced a few years ago in New Japan Pro Wrestling when the Bullet Club was under the leadership of WWE superstar Finn Balor—then called Prince Devitt.

As noted, the Bullet Club members initially debuted the classic Bone Soldier logo at the legendary Korakuen Hall when former members Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows, alongside Bullet Club OG Tama Tonga. They debuted the classic Bone Soldier T-shirts and eventually got rid of the old design and logo that represented the faction in the first place.

Later on in the very same night, Finn Balor, along with rest of his BC stablemates—in Matt and Nick Jackson (The Young Bucks) and “The Underboss” Bad Luck Fale—were also seen sporting the new Bullet Club T-shirts with the Bone Soldier logo on it.

Ever since the initial debut of the classic BC logo, it has been widely regarded as one of the most popular symbols in the wrestling world and some of the best wrestlers on the planet such as the likes of AJ Styles, Kenny Omega, Finn Balor, Adam Cole and more, have all represented the Bullet Club under the classic Bone Soldier logo.

The heart of the matter

In a recent tweet, “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes revealed that the Bullet Club was set to undergo a few big changes and claimed that the original classic Bone Soldier logo of the faction was set to be retired and eventually get replaced with a new logo.

Following Rhodes’ massive announcement last week, the former Ring of Honor World Champion finally revealed the highly anticipated and the brand new Bullet Club logo in the latest episode of the Young Bucks’ YouTube series Being The Elite.

However, following the revelation of the new BC logo, OneHour Tees, who are the official distributors of Bullet Club merchandise, announced on Twitter that Cody’s fellow BC stablemates Matt and Nick Jackson—The Young Bucks—have opted NOT to change the logo of the Bullet Club, with support from the rest of the BC members.

What’s next?

Cody Rhodes will square-off against Kenny Omega at ROH: Supercard of Honor XII next week in New Orleans at the Lakefront Arena.

Author’s Take

The Bullet Club’s classic Bone Soldier logo is certainly one of the most popular and recognizable symbols in Pro Wrestling and I believe that the logo should never be changed due to the immense amount of history attached to it.
