NFL Logos Through the Years
 

Found this image today, and I thought I'd share it. It's kind of cool to see them all lined up side-by-side like this, and there are some interesting bits as well. Take the Steeler's 1944 logo, for instance; evidently, the Steelers and Cardinals combined teams for a year due to a lack of players caused by the war.

Some of those are nearly identical.

The 1945 Chicago Pedobears

I dig that cardinal beneath the arch, i'd never seen that.

Where was this originally? Where did you find?

Chiefs need to update

Found it while browsing through the imgur gallery, although it was probably somewhere else first.

Cool find!

Really Cool Find.... thanks for posting. Haven't ever seen quite a few of them.

Is it possible to provide a link? This is great!

You could have said this post 10+ years ago. Well overdue.

In one respect I agree but then on the other hand simplicity say's it all.

Now with that being said, I like you Deberg have always wondered could our Chiefs logo get even better without being too Arena gaudy looking if you know what I mean.

I'm not an artist nor am I a computer graphic photoshop guru kind of person but I would like those who are that are on this board to come up with some serious upgrade ideas and then we can have a poll and vote !!!

your thoughts ?

I've always found it interesting that the logo's colors and the uni colors don't match up.

You have noticed that as well:thumb:

My idea for a new logo if it could be done right, would take the face of a Chief Warrior and contort the face that would resemble KC somehow. Who are our CP artists that could do this ??

I don't ever want chiefs to update they're logo, it's fine the way it is. We have the best jerseys in the league imo

Like I said, there is something about 'simplicity' and hard to argue with:thumb:

the Cards should go back to the 1960 logo

Great find, thanks for sharing.

Hey, if it were up to me the Lambs would have gone to 'Zona and the Cards would have come back to STL...

Modern day logos mostly match what is on the helmet. If you go back in time, many of these logos did not appear on the helmet. There were also helmet designs in use not shown here. Most people probably know this, but just in case anyone had any doubts.

another good site to view logos is <a href=" http://www.nationalchamps.net/Helmet_Project/"> The Helmet Project </a>. It has logos going back through 1960, but for everything from the NFL through JuCo.

I love the Niners first one. Crazy bastard shooting a gun all over the place.. ROFL

One thing I've always wondered, why did people wear the logo backwards?

Like: http://www.americansportscastersonli.../hankstram.jpg

I like that the '62-'69 Bills logo is just a pictures of a football player peering at you with a buffalo behind him.

"What's so great about a goddamn buffalo? DID YOU COME HERE FOR FOOTBALL OR WHAT."

Dude the picture is a reverse. He didn't wear the logo that way. Mirror image. I bet all my casino $ the logo was over his right side not his left.

Bullshit.

When you get it right the first time you don't need to "update".

Okay, genius. Then why was the original one printed with "KC" backwards? LMAO

No.


Now give me all your casino cash.

If you watch any Chiefs videos or any chiefs pics from before the 70s or 80s, the logo was that way a lot. I've always wondered why.

This is way cool. The 1948 Eagles and 1960 Cardinals top the list in my opinion.

:clap:ROFL

I don't think you're looking at the picture correctly.

Even if this was a reverse pic, KC is to the right side of the arrow, not the left.

Reversing the image wouldn't change that.

Do not believe that is a mirror image. Men's jackets/sports coats have the pocket on the left just as it shows in Hank's pic.
