The Pats had very non-discript end zones for the majority of the time they used Foxboro. I remember several years the "Patriots" word mark actually located behind the end zones for years.

GridironUniform Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I think it was 77-82 or so behind the end zones, and in 82, not sure of other years, for a time there was a large Pat The Patriot at midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GridironUniform Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 In 1983, the Lions had their 50th Anniversary logo (which they wore as a patch on their uniforms as well) at midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, One single season in 1983/84. I was looking for a better graphic to add to my profiles. That patch is a bugger to replicate in paint!

pitt6pack Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 I feel like a larger template will be beneficial. If copied from full size it should be 9144x4344 2 Quote The Gridiron Uniform Database Simulation League (GSL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If copied from full size it should be 9144x4344 Thanks for the update. I was having problems with the NFL Shield. And I can modify it to show the standard shield, as it will revert back to Red, White, and Blue this season. Quote "Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc!: "After this, therefore, because of this."

GridironUniform Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Here's some screenshots from the 1978 Thanksgiving game. The Lions did have some color in their end zone before the 1980 end zone without, however with non-stylized font this time. November 23, 1978 - Denver at Detroit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFCOM1 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Looks like an Arial subet font. Odd I dont remember the field so much though I was in attendance for that game. I was in 8th grade, and i got tickets with my parents and older brother who worked as an usher that year in the Silverdome.

SFCOM1 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Here is a very old Historic Images pic of the Silverdome in 1976. The dome had deflated due to a severe storm. Endzone was painted, Lions script smaller and closer to the goal line. No directional arrows next to numbers. I am unable to make out if the Liions helmet logo is on the "50" or not.

SFCOM1 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Update: Pontiac Metropolitan Stadium aka Silverdome 1975/1976 Due to the lack of photgraphs from that era. This is the way the field would have looked for the first two years of the stadium's existance. I do believe before a national Thanksgiving game telecast in 1976 the Lions added their Helmet logo. Though I can not find any proof as of yet! Edited March 4, 2016 by SFCOM1 Added content Quote "Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc!: "After this, therefore, because of this."

GridironUniform Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Well I couldn't find a Modified Cooper Font that looked anything like it, but I found "Hamilton Clarendon Condensed 1899" that looks pretty close November 11, 1984 - Denver at San Diego (These fields that I am doing are not to the full 9144x4344 resolution, just meant to be a starting point and to chronicle some research into what some of the past NFL fields looked like. I'm not as skilled graphically as the others in this thread, just trying to help out and add some images to the collection.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing different I would do is to fix the inside oval of the "O" in San Diego. It looks like it follows the interior circumference evenly.

As soon as I finish updating my 1983 Silverdome field (with the patch logo, man it's real bugger drawing the logo by hand in paint) and work on the two other fields (from the late 80's), with the different End Zone set ups (mostly the inversion on the colors of the word ("LIONS") the slightly changed middle helmet logo, and the first inclusion of the "Pontiac Silverdome" to the field. San Diego's field was always an interesting breath of fresh air, though like the old Orange Bowl Stadium, got really worn out by the end of the year. Between the Chargers, San Diego State Aztecs, and the Holiday Bowl (and also recently the Poinsettia Bowl). That is a rough schedule!

SFCOM1 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Actually beginning work on the Phoenix (Arizona) Cardinals time at Sun Devil Stadium. There where 4 distinct fields the baseline (with painted over Sun Devil markings) The more detailed (After the Sun Devils season was over), the switch to "Arizona", and the year before the U of P stadium opened (Current Graphics, but at Sun Devil Stadium.

pitt6pack Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) I've been thinking for a while now that having a thread for current NFL fields and fields is redundant, so I'm just going to make this thread the only one for NFL fields. With that, here are some updates for 2015. 2015 NFL Fields Atlanta Falcons Spoiler Baltimore Ravens Spoiler Buffalo Bills Spoiler Dallas Cowboys Spoiler Green Bay Packers Spoiler Indianapolis Colts Spoiler Kansas City Chiefs Spoiler New Orleans Saints Spoiler New York Giants Spoiler New York Jets Spoiler Pittsburgh Steelers Spoiler Seattle Seahawks Spoiler Edited March 7, 2016 by pitt6pack Quote The Gridiron Uniform Database Simulation League (GSL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mee Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Didn't the Falcons put the 50 seasons logo in the endzone this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
