kinda looks like Sam the Eagle.

Its from the 80s when all the teams  had unofficial single letter logos based off of their logos.

I’m not sure where to post this, but I think this is the best place to mention this, but apparently there was a Baltimore Ravens “Throwback” quickly-pulled-from-production mini helmet that had the 1996-98 front-facing swooping bird on it (the same one that adorned the sleeves in that same timeframe) on eBay. (Sorry, as well—I got outbid on it. Lousy timing, ending during my work shift.)

 

This brings up a few intriguing questions: Did the Ravens ever plan on using this logo? Was it after the logo lawsuit, or was it supposed to be the primary logo?  Is this the closest the Ravens could legally get to the winged B-Shield, or was this a fabrication from someone wanting to trick someone into buying it?

 

Here are the screenshots for reference:

I like this helmet better! I wish they went with this.

Someone linked to Verlander Design's portfolio in the NFL Changes thread and I stumbled upon some concept designs that were pitched to the Tennessee Titans.

 

For context, Verlander would go on to create the current identities (and now-former uniforms) for the Texans, Cardinals, Bengals, and Falcons. 

 

Ultimately, the team/league decided to go with the "flaming thumbtack" brand we know today, but I don't recall these ever being shared here before (if they have, I apologize - but I'm not about to sift through 70+ pages of content :P)

Interestingly enough, there's also some unused concept logos and uniforms for the Bengals in his portfolio, too:

The sleeves would work, but the pants can be tossed in the trash.

Indigo and slate grey looks well on the Titans.

YES

 

Does any team in any league use indigo?

Depends what you mean by that since indigo, is just a shade of purple, and most teams that use purple tend to be in more of the the blue range like indigo than the red range of violet.

Not an unused uniform, but an unused element of a uniform. When the Arizona Coyotes unveiled their last alternate uniform, it included the unique touch of having the crescent moon logo function as the captain's patch.

However the Yotes didn't have a captain at the time, and never named one before moving to Utah, so we never got to see the captain's patch on the ice.

Unique captain patches like this and the Atlanta Flames logo for the Calgary alt captains are underrated uniform details
