WideRight Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Man, I remember that book from when I was young. I loved that book. And can I just state for the record that those are still the BEST BILLS UNIFORMS EVER!!!!!!That was the year I became a serious Bills fan. Joe Ferguson rocked.I am pretty sure that is the year he played a wildcard game against the Chargers with a broken ankle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnWis97 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Am I wrong or does the Falcons model have the logo removed from his helmet and sleeves? Just like the early 1980s football cards. I think ATL should have a sleeve logo. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

Jungle Jim Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 The two stripes at the back of the helmet on the Bengals helmets have never extended clear down to the bottom of the helmet. Not even in '81, their first year.You are correct! This incorrect version of the Bengals helmet served as their official helmet logo for at least part of their first season. It is what was released prior to the season, and I spent time in the summer of '81 memorizing and learning how to draw it. The team then took the field for its first preseason game and I realized that the helmet stripes were different than what I had just taken days to perfect. I'm not sure when they actually abandoned that logo. Thing is, the striping pattern on that looks better than what they actually use.Seeing this book in this thread sent me to the basement to look for it. Sadly, it's not in my house. I'll have to check at the folks house, but I'm pretty sure I took everything that meant anything when I left. So it's probably lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Danimal Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Great find. I had that book as well.Uniform note: I counted 9 stripes on the sleeve of the Eagles uniforms shown here (I think they wore them in the Super Bowl that year). What designer thought that was a good idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSky Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Note the Saints' model in their short-lived white pants. Their away set used the white pants as well, and it looked pretty cool.As for the helmets, those are pretty old (60's) what with the 2-bar face mask, that's why there are a few inconsistencies. For example. the Saints is the original shade of gold and a few of the logos (Falcons, Lions, Vikings) are way bigger than normal.I scored a 3-foot high, two-sided version of that very Saints helmet a couple of years ago on eBay. It's the kind designed to hang up in a sports bar. I had it in my cube back when I had a cube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't seem like that long somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes, I forget about those old black pants, and I only remember them because they wore them when I was a kid. I wish the current black pants mirrored the old black pants.

For comparison's sake, here's the NFC's graphics from 1970: It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
