matthew516 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I think this "proposed new mark" would have been solely for non-field applications replacing the "roaring bear." It would have fit in well with its contemporaries. Not that the Oilers and Cowboys each had stylized helmet logos at the time.

The early 1970's were a weird time for design (graphic, fashion, architectural and otherwise). It definitely wouldn't work on a helmet but would look great (back then) as branding on letterhead or marketing material. I agree that it'd look great on a t-shirt which is the first thing I did when I found it. I checked out the US Trademark database to see if the team registered this. They didn't but I found these gems from that era... Why is the bear on the bottom on a pitcher's mound? Is this some cross-promotion with the Cubs that went horribly wrong?
