Trivial notes about NFL logos

I’m going through all the NFL logos on SportsLogos.net for a personal project of mine and came up with a few observations during my work:

  • Oldest logo still in use: Steelers (1963) — Dallas is a close second (64)
  • Coolest old logo: Chargers (61-73)
  • Stupidest old logo: Steelers (60-61) — slipping on a high steel beam shouldn’t be this fun
  • Ugliest old logo: Packers (51-55) — the redesign wasn’t much better
  • Ugliest “team of the past” logo: Houston Oilers (60-71)
  • Most inclusive logo: Chiefs (63-71) — they included half the lower 48 in this thing
  • Logo that looks most like Radioshack’s current logo: Redskins (70-71)
