The Blue Oval is one of the more iconic symbols in the world and has been for a very long time now, which is precisely why Ford continues to use it to this day. The Blue Oval also hasn’t changed much over the years, save for a few small tweaks, but recently, one big shift has begun to take place – consumers are showing a preference for blacked out appearance packages, which has also prompted Ford to begin offering black versions of its famous badge, too. In fact, such a thing debuted as a factory offering for the 2020 Ford Super Duty Lariat Sport Package, and was later added to FoMoCo’s catalog as an accessory for that pickup, as well as the Ford Ranger and Ford F-150, along with a black Ford Performance badge. Now, a new Black Oval kit has debuted for the current-gen Ford Super Duty, too.
This new 2023-2024 Ford Super Duty Black Oval kit is available for models without a front camera under part number M-1447-SDB3, or those with a front camera via part number M-1447-SDC3. The latter part features a provision for the camera, though otherwise, the two kits are essentially identical.
In either case, both kits are designed to fit 2023-2024 Ford Super Duty XL, XLT, and Lariat trimmed pickups, and come with both a smoked front and rear chrome oval. Both kits also retail for exactly the same price, too – $140, and each is available to purchase via the Ford Performance catalog right now.
Given how popular the new, Black Oval has become over the past few years, it’s easy to forget just how monumental a change this represents. After all, the first oval Ford emblem appeared way back in 1907, and the first Ford Blue Oval emblem surfaced in 1927 before landing on all of the automaker’s vehicles starting in 1979. The familiar Blue Oval has changed quite a bit since then, but it has always remained blue – at least, until very recently.
