Oh, the memories of the glorious days when football was the only thing that got us going in life! Man, were those the days! I still remember when my friends and I used to gather in front of the TV to watch our favorite teams battle it out for the championship. We could name each one of those 32 retro NFL logos without missing a beat.
I still remember the Rams, with their iconic blue, white and yellow color scheme. Or the Cowboys with their classic star logo, that I swear must have been designed by a Texan. The Jets, the Lions, the Saints, the Bills, the Buccaneers, even the Browns! Ha! Don’t even bring up the Browns. That team will forever be a joke, but their logo will always hold a place in my heart.
Then there’s the Patriots and the Cardinals. How they’ve changed over the years! It’s hard to believe that those logos used to be defining markers of those teams! Of course, there were the 49ers who kept their red and gold color scheme, but changed the iconic “SF” insignia for a more minimalist look.
Uh huh, I could keep going on about these 32 Teams and their logos, but I think you already get the gist of it–the retro NFL was just as iconic and glorious as the present day. Each team was unique and recognizable in its own way, with its color combinations, symbols, and other elements that just screamed: “this is my team and I’m sticking with it!”
If I’m being honest, it really breaks my heart to see how some teams have fallen apart since those days. Heck, I’m rooting for the Cardinals and the Jets in this modern day, which is saying something. I know, however, that nothing can last forever–even the beloved retro NFL logos.
Still though–can you name all 32 retro NFL logos? I must admit, that’s still a feat I’m trying to achieve. It’s not easy, I tell you, and I’m not gonna lie: it’s taken me way too long to even try. But hey, it’s worth a shot, right? So, here goes nothin’–if I put my mind to it, I’m sure I can conquer it!
