History of the Logos of Every NFL Franchise

[Blackspider214]

Missing a few but still really cool. I had no idea some of these existed.

Jaguars had a full jaguar logo for a bit, I remember.

Very cool image none the less! Thanks!

Logos fascinate me, too.

Not confident in all of those dates, though.

Here's the go-to site as far as I've ever seen...

Thanks for sharing. Brings back some fond memories.

Couple of thoughts.

The early Browns logos are so bad it's no wonder they scrapped having a logo altogether and just went with an orange helmet.

Minnesota's logo is badass for being done in 1966. Compare it to others of that era.

Patriots really need to go back to their 71-92 logo.

KCs early logos I have no words for. They stuck with that crap for 5 years after the Vikings had there's? Again, no words!

After the Star, Seattle's logo and colors are my favorite by far.

lol @ the browns logos... they look like orange leperchauns.

theyre probably better off doing some type of “dawgpound” logo.

Dolphins needs update

I really liked Baltimore's first logo.

It looks like they hired a professional animator from one of the Saturday morning cartoons of the era instead of leaving it up to the team's marketing dept. or a public logo contest.

This is what started it for the Steelers - not a Steelers logo at all, but an advertisement for American steel companies they slapped on the side of their helmet in 1962. Not sure how it would go over so they told the equipment mgr. to only put it on one side. After finishing with their best ever record they kept it. They switched to black helmets for the playoffs just so the advertisement would stand out better.

Imagine what Jerry could do if he could sell ad space on helmets.

It says KC changed their logo in '72 but they changed it before that because that was the logo on their helmet when they played GB in SB1 and that was played in '67.

Great thread.

Can you imagine just having your helmet as a logo? So dumb.

Also, you forget how dumb the Dophins' logo actually is until you sit there and look at it for a bit. A dolphin...jumping though a hoop....wearing a football helmet, but no other pads. Ridiculous.

If I'm the Dolphins, I have a plain helmet with a 3D graphical blowhole right on the top. Dolphins have blowholes, right?

Or maybe a picture of Ace Ventura, Pet Detective on the Dolphins helmet. Finkle and Einhorn, Einhorn and Finkle.

Odd the Commanders flipped their logo in 1982. Anyone know why?

Eagles is the only logo with that orientation now.

 

[Fontaine]

I feel like they missed a few, for instance

Also, to add on my earlier post about the dolphins logo, I feel like the “hoop” is the sun lol

I believe so. If it's a hoop, he missed.

They really should have the dolphin wearing a Dolphins helmet. It would create an "infinity mirror" situation that might mesmerize opponents.

The only thing more dumb would be if the Browns actually put the 'Brown helmet' logo on the side of their helmets.

We beat out the Vikings for oldest.

Did we hire an ad firm or did the owner's daughter design it?
