Maybe, put THE SUN SHINING PARTIALLY VISIBLE OVER THE VERY DARK BURGUNDY INDIAN HEAD..I MEAN THE INDIAN IS SUNBURNED, RIGHT? AND CLEVELAND NEEDS TO CHANGE BACK IN BASEBALL. AS I demonstrated with facts, INDIANS is not a disrespectful term, and pays tribute, and does not bring derision to INDIANS. See.. If using ethno-race logos trivializes, or is racist, then REMOVE VIKINGS AS THE MINNESOTA mascot. OR REPLACE CHIEFS which referred to one man= 1963's WHITE MAYOR OF KCITY, MO.=HIS NICKNAME at the time that KC MOVED FROM DALLAS= " THE CHIEF" I mean if we are really going to be ridiculous.. WHICH MOST people today are. By the way, it was a DEMOCRAT PARTY SYMBOL that created the BRAVES in Baseball= TAMMANY HALL the corrupt Dem party early networking crony-building organization that ruthlessly ran NY CITY in the early 20th.

The purchaser of the 1912 BOSTON BRAVES was an ex-TAMMANY HALL/NYCITY DEMOCRAT POLITICIAN..That is why they're the Braves= Young INDIAN warriors.. Finally, ACCORDING TO ARCHAEOLOGISTS, there are no "NATIVE" ANCIENT INDIANS IN NO. AMERICA/ the U.S.. Either, INDIANS came by LAND BRIDGES AT THE STRAITS that were then fully connected to continents, or by papyrus boats as demonstrated by historian/archaeologist THOR HAYERDAHL IN his treatise: KONTIKI..He actually built a boat of thick, very dry papyrus and sailed it from ASIA AND AFRICA TO SOUTH AMERICA..SUCCESSFULLY. And, when Indians came here, eventually settling all over N.AMERICA, C. AMERICA/CARRIBEAN, AND S. AMERICA, THIS LAND was not even called AMERICA yet. It was only called the AMERICAS because map designer, CHARTERER AND CONSTRUCTOR= cartographer, also explorer)= the FLORENCE(IN ITALIAN= FIORENZA) CITY-STATE "ITALIAN"(ALTHOUGH ITALY DID NOT EXIST AS A COUNTRY UNTIL THE 19TH. CENTURY)AMERIGO VESPUCCI called it AMERICA, because he or someone else to honor his exploring and charting feat= mapping new 4th and 5th continents, named it after him, in, I believe, the 15th. or 16th. century. Considering all of that evidence.. There is NO SUCH THING AS A "NATIVE AMERICAN." We all came here from somewhere else. The fossil record proves it, too. AND, STEALING LAND HAPPENED AMONG INDIAN TRIBES, who were stealing or winning in tribal wars vs. OTHER INDIANS HERE, AS WELL AS EUROS IN AMERICA AND IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC.. So, what! What, are we going to do, go all the way back to GRONK IN CAVE #6 BECAUSE HE STOLE UNK'S CAVE 11, LOL? SPANIARDS IN MEXICO AND CENTRAL AMER. AND SPANIARDS AND PORTUGUESE IN SO. AMER. STOLE INDIOS LANDS. So, if we stole LATINOS AND INDIAN LANDS HERE AND THUS, WE HAVE TO ALLOW ILLEGAL ALIENS TO HAVE SOME OF THIS LAND, THEN, WE CAN ASK THE MEXICANS AND BRAZILIANS, ETC OF SPANISH AND PORTUGUESE DESCENT, RESPECTIVELY, TO LEAVE THOSE AREAS AND GIVE THE LAND BACK TO THE INDIOS, some of whom stole lands from other tribes and warred with those tribes= MAYANS, INCANS, AZTECS, NAHUATLS, ETC..

The Broncos' color code for 1962-1967 is incorrect. They've never used #D50D0E (that's a shade of red). I wish NFL Throwback would upload a video with the correct color codes for all logos for all 32 NFL teams.

And not over using the new logo is gold. Both are amazing, from purely a design point of view. Probably the best mix between the newest era of, almost video game inspired mean looks, and old school over simplified nostalgia designs. Best overall in my opinion. I'm not even a football fan...

In the present climate, "Redskins" is considered pejorative. But who knows? Perspectives about these things tend to evolve, sometimes in perverse ways. People decide to embrace an insult to prove it has no power to define them. A decade from now, "Redskins" might creep back into the picture.

For me, one of the sharpest NFL uniforms were the ones the Denver Broncos wore during their "Orange Crush" day. The logo with the horse within the large 'D" was great, especially when placed on that nice deep blue helmet. Round it off the the bright orange jerseys and you have a winner as well as the best logo and uniforms in Broncos history (IMO).

The '90s change to the current uniform worked for a moment, as it was a complete new concept for uniform design. However, today it's really tired-looking. I agree, go back to the throwbacks. They would look even better today with the custom fitted uniforms.

Good times.

I've been watching the NFL since 1973. My Grandparents took me EVERY year/summer vacation to the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame. There I got to see classic game highlights of historical teams, games, and retro looks even back in 1976. The classic Redskins spear on a Maroon helmet. Then the yellow helmet with the ®️🪶 and so on. The classic Rams white horns, the classic Eagles white helmet and green wings, and the older Chicago Bears {C in white. So many memories of amazing players and teams. Epic and fun! Getting to go to that historic place as a kid was amazing! Lambeau Field! To get to walk inside it at 5, 6, 7, and 8 years old was surreal! Knowing that players played on there like Bart Starr, Paul Hornung, Ray Nitchke, and other icons! As I grew up I saw Lynn Dickey, Chester Marcol, John Brockington, and more players I loved but weren't always the best teams. I became a MASSIVE fan of those little quarter machine football helmets. A little plastic replica NFL helmet, and a set of stickers. The side logos or logo in the Steelers case, or none in the Browns case except for the middle strip on top. At the HoF, they had sets of these helmets. You could buy the entire NFL, or just the NFC or AFC, OR you could buy the divisions. The NFC West, East, Central as well as the AFC divisions as well. They came with a Stand, a Goalpost, and depending on which division you got 4 or 5 helmets, stickers, and face masks. These little plastic helmets got me really into the Logos, the colors, and the jersey looks of the teams. I remember when the Buccaneers and Seahawks first arrived in the league getting to see a game played by them up in Milwaukee was tough! Plus the Buccaneers weren't exactly burning up the ratings for National televised games. I love art, drawing, cartooning, and sketches. Charcoal and lead being my specialty. These "characters", "logos", or caricatures of the teams names were so different, unique, and very cool to a 5-10 year old kid. This LOVE of the game, the love of the look of the game, and the desire to watch NFL, NCAA, and even USFL, and WFL games from all different years with all or any teams!

I was captivated by how informative it is and all the stories behind them are fascinating. Great job. I think every team should wear throwbacks or be innovative one week out of every season.

I love the throwback games - the unis/helmets aren't awesome all the time, but the temporary change is refreshing. One thing I noticed (started in the '80s, though it's changing back a bit lately)... Notice the shades/richness of the colors used in the past and today. The older units and helmets are much nicer. Look at the previous Redskins, then look at today's flat green of Philly and flat red of DC now. Same with the I thoroughly enjoyed this video.

The Redskins section hurts, I really wish sometime in the future it comes back, but that’s only a dream

[@ScottCleve33]

As a Cleveland Indians fan I hope so as well. Maye one day when people realize that it's actually more racist to remove people of color from society than to include them. Funny story about the name Indians. It was originally used because it was a mispronouncing of the Spanish word Indigenous and today calling native native Americans indigenous is actually supposed to be the proper way to address them. So we've really come full circle and nobody's noticed.

[@itzamia]

Too many liberals and their feelings, even though many Native Americans supported the Redskins brand.

Agreed, the new one is just goofy. Why mess with a perfectly good look

[@JusNoBS420]

Not to be insulting but I’ve always felt the Dolphins color scheme was soft and weak looking. Obviously it represents the vibe of Miami and perfectly fits. Also felt the same about Tampa Bays original creamsicle orange when I was a kid in the 80’s

I'm a Raiders' fan but that has nothing to do with me saying that we have the best logo and uniforms in all of sports hands down. Having said that, in the NFL at least, I would have picked the old Redskins' logo and unis for the second spot. Even with the name change, they could have done better, Commanders just doesn't sound right. Even Washington Senators would have fit the bill a bit better.

[@KoeCo]

I couldn't agree more with everything you said. I've never really liked the Raiders but I must admit that their logo and uniforms are a thing of beauty. Ditto for the 'Skins and what happened to them, bummer.

[@LasRepetibles]

I don't know about the Raiders having the best uniforms in all of sports but they certainly do have one of the most classic ones and they've never made any mistakes with their visual identity, which is more than we can say for their actual play on the field. The Redskins uniforms were always some of my favorites of all time and I think I would have preferred for them to have remained as The Washington Football Club rather than the silly Commanders name. In a perfect world, the name would have never been changed, though.

[@cameronmooring9659]

I always say Dallas has the best logo because its so simple yet so iconic and has only been changed once lol its just a star

[@WesternAdvisors]

Personally, I much prefer the Broncos logos!

Surely you're kidding, right? The Broncos would never be thought of as a team with a better logo than half the teams in the league, much less the classic Raiders logo.@@WesternAdvisors

Awesome video. 33yo Jet Fan, grew up as a kid with the Kelly green Jets streak logo and my first few games at then Giants stadium and it will always be my favorite no matter what. They looked amazing when they wore those helmets on MNF this year. The 80s/90s dark blue and red piping Giants unis with the Giants underlined on the helmet is also by far my favorite look for the "other" team in town as well. Strange case of both teams' secondary iteration and late 20th century look being far superior to what they use currently.

[@triadmad]

The standing buffalo was my first favorite helmet. My sister painted it onto a helmet I had gotten for either my birthday or Christmas. Since we only had a black and white television, we didn't know it was red, so she painted it black.

[@1BrianSawyer]

58:59 the curved feathers were because of an adhesive defect with from the decal manufacturer not being able to keep the logos on the helmet. The curved feathers stuck to the helmet more effectively and the problem with the adhesive was solved in 1983. Only Joe Washington wore the 1972-81, 83-19 logo during 1982 as he had a different helmet and didn't have any problem with the decals falling off. (painted?)

[@jamescaron6465]

Washington used a Kelley clear shell helmet. The plastic shell was actually transparent and they would take thin water-based decals and stick them to the inside of the shell and then paint underneath it. So you just couldn’t peel off the decal and stick a new one on. But on the other hand the paint and the decals would never get scratched up because they were on the inside of the shell

[@georgedevine4130]

I actually sat through this entire video. I was captivated by how informative it is and all the stories behind them are fascinating. Great job. I think every team should wear throwbacks or be innovative one week out of every season. Like how the MLB a few years ago had player week where the had their nicknames on the back of their jerseys or like how the have city edition jerseys now in MLB and NBA

[@CDRiley]

Wow!

[@CSDonohue11]

I agree. They should wear throwbacks 1 weekend every season and it doesn’t all have to be the same weekend They can mix it up when teams where there’s at different times That way it all stands out more & some don’t get lost in the Mix of it all being the same weekend That’d Be Sweet imo So of them are So Cool Pat whit helmet & Bucs Orange sherbet are So Dope Bengals most definitely need to mix em up once a season Have a throwback weekend and then maybe another weekend that’s just an alternative Whatever that is but it just has to be different than their basic 3 major Unis

[@astrostar49]

Very nicely done piece on the history of the logos. Personally I miss the 49ers logo from 1968-1988/1988-1995 (they are basically the same). Also, it sucks not having the Oilers logo in the league anymore. Like the 49ers, that is one of the few logos/names that actually has clear ties to the city the team plays in.

[@295g295]

49ers had a helmet logo design that was a big 4 sometime?

[@Avrammmm]

Yes. It was simpler and less pretentious. Similar to Green Bay. Plus I rather liked the wide stripes on the pants.

[@TheCdubbleyoo]

I moved to Houston toward the end of the Houston Oilers. Adams vs. the mayor of Houston at the time was a quite petty display. Adams decided to try to force the city into a new stadium during what I think was the worst stretch in team history...not a great negotiating position. The infamous blown lead against Buffalo, the trade of Warren Moon... "build me a new stadium". The response was roughly "you don't even deserve the Astrodome". Yet further petty... Or maybe just unfortunate...was how long the Astrodome was left to decay, unused, before finally being torn down without much recognition. And, Bud never would let Houston have the colors, logos and records back.
