Every time I see it it reminds me of this poster I had in my room in the 70's... (Check out the mistake on the pants stripe!) However, from a strict design standpoint, I think the current wordmark is better on all counts. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no stake in this whatsoever; yet it really bugged me that the NFL was playing the Pro Bowl as a "choose-up sides" game. That was so cheesy. (It also bugs me that it is played the week before the Super Bowl rather than the week after. But I doubt that that will be changing.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I see it it reminds me of this poster I had in my room in the 70's... (Check out the mistake on the pants stripe!) Looking at this again, all kinds of memories are flooding back. My parents got this for me for Christmas, probably in the mid-70's... I would have been 10, give or take. This may have been the actual spark for my lifelong uniform mania. I remember staring at it for hours, being an art nerd from toddler-hood. At some point, I realized the pants stripe was inverted. At first I was annoyed, but then I considered that maybe the artist did it on purpose. After all, the jersey is basically purple and white, with a small amount of gold separating those two colors. Maybe the artist assumed (or intentionally "corrected") the pants so they would match. I mentioned all this to my older brother, who instantly declared me a freak and idiot, said who cares, and walked away. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading this makes me wonder. I just remember buying football cards back then, and the player would have a helmet on without a logo. Like they had to eliminate the logo to print the card. They looked like the photo was taken during game play, but the logo was not on the helmet. Plus, it would always be the player on the sidelines, or as he was walking off the field with nobody around him. I honestly have no idea. I just know that it bothered the Hell out of me when I was a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topps (the only maker of football cards back in the 70s and mid-80s) didn't have the rights to use the logos, just the players' names. I think they tried to be extra-careful as to what kind of photos they took, to minimize the work on the backend. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Rise of DC Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Just practice, but I hope the burgundy pants return this season. Majority of the defensive players that wore them didn't have stripes, which is interesting. Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
