NFL Logos change over the years. We’ve seen our own Cowboys logo go from a plain blue star to a blue star with a white border to the current star with a blue and a white border. Our opponent Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles have a History behind their logo as well. The Eagles’ fist logo was taken from Franklin D. Roosevelt’s National Recovery Act logo. That logo was the inspiration for their mascot, which of course is our National bird. Philadelphia is sometimes called the birthplace of the nation due to the revolutionary ties to our founding. I have no idea where they get off still calling themselves the City of Brotherly Love. That just no longer fits.
The Philadelphia Eagles have been in the NFL since 1933. They were originally called the Frankford Yellow Jackets, but that franchise went bankrupt in 1931. They were out of football in 1932, then in 1933 the franchise was awarded to Bert Bell and Lud Wray. They were college teammates at Pennsylvania. Wray left the Yellow Jackets to become the very first Head Coach of the Boston Braves, who later became the current day Washington Commanders. Bert Bell soldiered on alaone with the Eagles and was a true football man. He is credited with creating the NFL Draft. The first Draft was held in 1935 for the 1936 season. The very first player ever drafted was Jay Berwanger out of Chicago, by the Eagles. If Bert Bell could see the Draft today I bet he would smile. Bert Bell also was the Eagles Head Coach from 1936 to 1940.
