There’s a lot to love about this Post Sugar Crisp ad from 1955, not the least of which are the classic ’50s bear mascots:

Here’s a closeup view of the logos, featuring the Chicago White Sox, Boston Red Sox, Cincinnati Redlegs, New York Yankees, New York Giants, Milwaukee Braves, Philadelphia Phillies, Washington Senators/Nationals, Baltimore Orioles, Pittsburgh Pirates, Cleveland Indians, Brooklyn Dodgers, Detroit Tigers, St. Louis Cardinals, and Chicago Cubs. That’s every MLB franchise from ’55 except for the Kansas City Athletics.
