Blue Falcon Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I couldn't find the original post, but a while back someone was looking for info about a proposed Patriots logo change that had been shown to the fans in Foxboro during halftime of a game in 1979 or so, and the fans booed it so badly the Patriots scrapped the idea. All I remember hearing is that it looked something like the current Flying Elvis look. On the gumball thread, Lukas has a link to 'prototype' NFL helmet, and a Patriots one is here, so I'm wondering if this is it:Linky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantleisthebest7 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Naw, that looks a little newer to me. Like late 90's or somethin. Im not sure though. You never know. But in my opinion, that must have been one from like 10 years ago or something. It just doesnt ring 1979 to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And click on the next image for some Bucs concepts.All those Bucs ones are based off of the losing designs from the 97 update. Personally, I think they got it right, cause while some of those are pretty decent, most of em suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was actually a live "vote" at halftime of a game. They displayed the logo current at the time "pat patriot" and the new logo and asked fans to vote with applause for the one they wanted. Pat Patriot won in a landslide. In fact, the new logo was booed loudly. Pat Patriot then stayed as the logo until Elvis came along...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
