What’s the story with the “C” logo with a point on the back end?

The "pointed ‘C’" is used by both the Chicago Bears of the NFL and the Cincinnati Reds of the MLB. Is there a reason that they would choose to make the "C" pointed on the back end? Is there a significance to two different cities using the logo?
Update: This type of C is called a "Wishbone C."" Also, The Minnesota Twins of MLB use it as well. Still, what is the origin of the "Wishbone C" and why do multiple franchises use it?

Try to be Unbiased fans… The most attractive MLB team Logo Issssss…..????

Im a Yankee Fan and i Love the Yankee Bat and top hat, but Honestly, its not very pleasing to the eye LOL. I say the Black "Sox" on the White Background for the White Sox is Prettiest.
