Old School Fool 3,364 Posted February 16, 2018 We all know about the uniforms and the logos, but what people tend to forget are the designs on the field itself, so after finding some material I decided that we should have a thread dedicated to this. First up, we have the often mentioned Jaguars Santa Hat used in December for a couple years in the early 2000's Then we have the Chargers having pumpkins on the 20 yard line for Halloween in 2004: The Buccaneers apparently went with this festive Christmas design in 1991: The Patriots decided to get weird in 1981: That's all I got for now but feel free to post Baseball and Soccer stuff too. Anything that has grass in general works I guess. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leopard88 2,617 Posted February 16, 2018 The Twins always had a marked circle around home plate and paths to the dugouts during their days at Metropolitan Stadium. I don't remember seeing anything like that anywhere else. Handy arrows in case you got lost on your way to the batter's box. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sec19Row53 2,075 Posted February 16, 2018 I always enjoyed the Raiders' use of their shield around the field numerals in the 60s/70s. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hormone 426 Posted February 16, 2018 I wanna say the 49ers had a Santa hat on the end of the wordmark in the end zone this year. It was hard to see with red writing though. And yes, too lazy to look it up and way too stupid to attach a picture 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yac12 85 Posted February 16, 2018 I am still in the search for the years the Chicago Bears put a Santa hat on the C with the Bear inside of it logo. If I remember, they did this in the late 80s. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

njdevs7 595 Posted February 16, 2018 Always loved the moon logo that Phoenix used at center ice for a few years. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cosmic 5,849 Posted February 17, 2018 During the '04-'05 lockout, the NHL experimented with light blue ice in the Sabres' arena. It never even saw preseason action, unfortunately. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnysama 783 Posted February 17, 2018 ^ Kinda looks reminiscent of NHL '94. I kinda like it. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

insert name 4,270 Posted February 17, 2018 I loved it when they had the skyline field design at Shea. This was around 2004-2005. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sykotyk 771 Posted February 19, 2018 I always thought CIncinnati's endzones were unique. Rather than a diamond pattern, or white slashes, or the common 'name or city spelled out with or without a color background', the Bengals had a tiger stripe pattern. And I can't find it, but I swear after baseball season ended at Riverfront Stadium, that there were games where it was just stripes. No words. But everything i find is more recent with BENGALS written across the stripes. Anyone know if I'm just misremembering or if the Bengals really did have patterened endzones with no writing at one point at Riverfront? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
