danmerz Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Hey everybody,Does anyone have a good quality file on the rarely used Dolphins script logo? Very hard to find this logo on any items other than the Sears catalog items.....love this script logo when it was used in the end zone for Super Bowl VII. Either can post or send to swayzeclone2002@yahoo.comThank you for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGWB Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 it just looks like a typical typeface, but the name of it, I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Wow. Not only did I have that poncho as a kid (Cardinals, of course), but I think I had that cheesy sweater as well (also Cardinals).I don't think I have got that Dolphins wordmark...it's in this graphic however: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason the "NFL logos by year" on the mothership is missing the Jets and Chargers in that year.

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Pizzaman7294 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 according to the website....it has the vikings stencil font starting in 1982 (when they moved into the metrodome)....according to these ads and posters, it was used way before then!

Cujo Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I've never seen that Steelers script logo before. Assumed they've always used their stencil version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruColor Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 That graphic came from the Sunoco NFL 1972 sticker book. Every kid I knew back then was collecting the players' stickers that you applied to each team page on the inside. Here's the cover image:Even though I was only 9 years old in '72, I already had begun my obsession with adding Black to the Cardinals' uniforms...I took a Black magic marker to my copy and outlined all of the stripes and numbers on the Cardinals player...and yes, it bugged me to no end that they put White stripes on the Red jersey. Although, I would have been OK if they would have done that.Here's an article on those sticker books:http://blog.timesuni...noco-nfl-72/13/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illwauk Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Makes sense for the Dolphins to have an art deco inspired wordmark... very Miami. I had a blanket with all these wordmarks when I was a kid and remember liking the Dolphins and Jets the most.Also, I still think it's hilarious that the Vikings used to use the same font as the Love Boat logo... what with that little scandal and all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always fascinated with he jets wordmark.I just noticed that the Saints have a lower case 'i' in their typeface. God, I hate that. It just looks so stupid if you are not trying to emphasize it for a particular reason (unless of course that font doesn't have an uppercase 'i'). Regardless of that fact, I don't like it one bit.

WSU151 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Wish the Eagles could bring back that old wordmark in some way. Seeing old wormarks in a format like this beings back great memories. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SB 8 was Jan 74, 9 was Jan 75 and 11 was Jan 77 just for reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadSeed84 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I got bored, and did an updated version of this poster, used the same colors for the teams (so eagles have kelly green) and only used one color for the wordmarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SB 8 was Jan 74, 9 was Jan 75 and 11 was Jan 77 just for reference.Here's a pregame shot of the stencil font on the field for SB VIII (January 13, 1974, at Rice Stadium in Houston):And here's a pregame shot of the stencil font on the field for SB XI (January 9, 1977, at the Rose Bowl):However, while the stencil font was used in Super Bowls, it appears that the Vikings didn't use it in the end zones at Metropolitan Stadium:Perhaps it was the official team wordmark by the early 1970s, but the team used more traditional block font on the field for reasons of legibility on the grass/mud/ice until they moved indoors. oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .
