cmm Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I've been watching some old NFL games on YouTube lately since I enjoy seeing the old theme songs, graphics, field art, uniforms, etc. I found a few videos where the visiting team has its name in one of the endzones. Some of them I've seen before, some are new to me. I thought I'd share a few since it fascinates me. I'm sure it's not a complete list, but I'm surprised at how often it happened. 1986-87 AFC Championship Game, Broncos at Browns 1985-86 AFC Championship Game, Patriots at Dolphins 1972 AFC Championship Game, Dolphins at Steelers 1977 NFC Divisional Playoff game, Vikings at Rams 1982 NFC First Round game, Cardinals at Packers (weird red helmets in one endzone) 1970-71 AFC Championship Game, Raiders at Colts 1970-71 NFC Championship Game, Cowboys at 49ers 1977-78 AFC Championship Game, Raiders at Broncos 1979 AFC Divisional Playoff Game, Dolphins at Steelers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I remember that in the game between Miami and Kansas City from 1975 (?) both helmets were at midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltjets21 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I was watching the Joe Namath HBO special and 49ers was in the end zone during a regular season game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheeseHusker Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 One of the end zones in the Ice Bowl had "Dallas" painted in blue on a white box. Hard to find a clear picture of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cujo Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 in 2005, due to the hurricane catastrophe, the Saints played a "home game" versus the Giants at the old Meadowlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one's especially interesting because it uses the "Browns' wordmark font. You've got to think they just modified the "WN" to "NCO" to turn "Browns" into "Broncos."

WSU151 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Nah...the WN isn't the same width as NCO, even with the wide W. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apeman33 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I think the Chiefs painting the team's helmet at midfield along with theirs as well as putting the opponent's name in one end zone was something they did on a regular basis when they played at Municipal Stadium.

But if they had giant stencils for each of the letters in "Browns," for "Broncos" they'd have all the letters but the "c" (which is just 3/4 of an "o") so they could create a workaround.

That's not the original argument. The font is indeed the same...and I'm sure that's how they created the C. But WNS wasn't modified to form NCOS. They redid the whole word, not a few letters.

It should be pretty obvious to everyone how they created the BRONCOS wordmark out of BROWNS by moving their stencils around as necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not what he was implying, especially when he said " you've got to think they just modified the "WN" to "NCO" ". That means they kept the BRO on the field and modifed the rest...but they clearly repainted the whole word.. You'd think he'd have corrected me last year. Smart is believing half of what you hear.

OnWis97 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Aside from rarities like that Saints/Giants thing, I wouldn't have thought something like this would ever have happened. I have a friend who is against putting logos from the rest of the conference on small flags/signs at Camp Randall and the Kohl Center. (and at Camp Randall, you really have to be looking for them; little flags with non-descript letters in school colors; putting "Ohio State" in one end zone would make his head explode). Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

BJ Sands Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I would love for this tradition to return for the NFL playoffs. Would add a great BIG GAME visual to the postseason that other field markings don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
