Looking through Pitt's fields on GUD, the Giants throwback field doesn't have an NFL logo on the field. And also, some of the early season Steelers fields don't have it either but they usually have it on the sideline on a vinyl mat. 

Petty 43 on a Toyota.  

Wow, I only thought that logo was just a concept way back when. Never knew that they used it. Well I guess none of us did. 

Just saw this. Also gives @pitt6pack a little more work. Haha. Not only different colors, but the NFL and College tenant.

They're either painted or they spend a crapload of time with a razor blade to get the sticker into the holes.

Those aren't the on field helmets.

They still do hand paint them, to get technical, they tape the stripes on a black helmet and paint it orange and peel the tape off leaving the black shell underneath showing the stripes. 

Imagine the decal disasters with all these holes in these modern helmets. 

Anyone have a list of the helmet shell molded colors? Or when teams went to full on painting them?

The Week 11 Texans field featured a navy blue end zone on one side and a red end zone on the other. Has that ever happened before, where a team gets to paint both end zones in their colors but chooses different colors for each side?

Might be correct. Unless there was one from the 60's through 80's when they would sometimes put the opponent names in the end zone during conference championship games?

My thinking is that the strip is a buffer zone of sorts to prevent overspray onto the white endlines/boundary lines when painting and then also to prevent smudging the paint into the endlines/boundary lines when cleaning the paint off.

 

It appears to be used in the stadiums where the endzones need to be changed (SoFi, MetLife) and then some teams who are just doing single game designs.

According to J.Sprays its to keep the permanent white border from getting stained. 

I understand why they do it. But I am not a fan of the grass border in painted endzones.

This is a close second to me. 

(This is quite a generous view as well, since it blocks a lot of the gold rear half of the helmet)

When my daughter was about a year old, and had peas for the first time.......

Come at me all you want-- these uniforms should have either been given to the Texans or left to the sands of time. The Titans don't deserve to wear Oilers uniforms after Bud Adams screwed the city of Houston over and withheld everything about the Oilers identity out of spite. Now they want to gloat that over Houston with these throwbacks and even wear them against the Texans?  that. Give the Oilers identity back to Houston, or don't bring these back. I doubt many fans in Tennessee have much of a connection to these uniforms, either.

 

Imo should have been a Browns/Ravens situation (or more directly comparable, a Hornets/Pelicans situation). The old name/colors can go back to the original city for the new expansion team, while the moving team has to rebrand.

You are correct and I will die on this hill. Earl Campbell doesn't give a :censored: about Nashville. Never even played in Nashville. The  player and team history is in Houston. 

Rams @ Colts is hard to watch. Not enough contrast.

My condolences for the incoming footprint version.

One final Super Bowl LVII field post.

 

Poster version. I'd still love to find a way to get these things printed at a reasonable size.

I would buy an entire set!!!

I get less is more. But jeez. It's the Super Bowl. 

It seems borderline lazy. It's been real bad since Super Bowl 48. When they had the conference logos on the same side, making the Seahawks logo face the wrong way. SB49 had the Patriots word mark and logo debacle leaving a blank side. 50 had two Broncos end zones, until they fixed it, and the beginning of no conference logos. 51, the paint didn't hold up at all. 52 had the weird Eagles end zone. 

You could almost plan ahead for every Super Bowl matchup and have a template that works consistently for both teams. Some matchups work with the classic helmet end zones. Some word marks work better with no conference logos. Etc. 

Mr. Toma..... Super Bowl #57 for him.

Again! Forever grateful for your documentation!

Arizona has a roof and will probably be closed for the Super Bowl.

It was open for Super Bowl XLIX. 

-Glad the Eagles changed the wordmark. Super Bowl LII looked really awkward. 

-Bengals make a great candidate for a helmet logo to avoid B Bengals. 

-The 49ers helmet works because the SF logo is red and doesn't contrast enough with the red background of the end zone. 

-I'm still not a fan of yellow Chiefs endzone when it is barely a trim color on their uniforms. Red with yellow lettering would work better I think. Unless......they also went to a helmet logo. Then, yellow background with red helmet logo works. 

-The only team that doesn't work with the helmet type logo is the Eagles. I don't want to see a black end zone for them. The green doesn't contrast enough, like we saw in Super Bowl XXXIX. 

Here is a photostream from flickr from a 1999 Bengals game against the 49ers. The last season at Riverfront. Should get you pretty close @pitt6pack

They didn't use Navy/White in St Louis. They were royal/yellow when they first moved to STL and when they won the Super Bowl in STL. Then switched to Navy/Gold. They were blue and white in LA only in the 60s and 70s. 

 

Regardless, if the fans didn't want it, then I guess that makes some sense. 

I don't get the love for them. They wore them 9 seasons, and they look too much like the Colts. Give me some color. 

I asked... this is the answer I got.
