Found on Reddit- Some guy has a complete 1969 NFL trading card set. Here are 24 high-res photos.

It's cool to see the very early logos and team colors. Note the Browns having an actual logo, and the Oilers logo being a helmet. Also, I wasn't aware that the Vikings ever wore green.

I, too saw this.

Aside from that. I don't think that the Vikings or Dolphins were supposed to be green. Might be just a misprint or aging to the ink in the cards.

Oh, and look at that atrocious Bengals logo.

I got a kick out of the abbreviation for Bart Starr. Gr. Bay Packers. Q'Back.

What's with some of the cards having white borders and others having the random color full-bleed backgrounds? Gotta imagine the full-bleed backgrounds are hard to find in higher conditions.

Also, the Sonny Jurgensen card has the wrong logo:

The motion lines make it appear he's just been decapitated.

It's a bad-repro partial close-up of this:

Which is an awesome logo.

In its full glory:

Even better - we have to get that up on the mothership.

Amazing. Serious question: why can't we have more logos like that? I'm sure they're a pain to embroider or render in Illustrator, but they're also whimsical and fun. So many teams have animal names that are perfect for a cartoon illustration (especially the Bengals!). It's such a waste that fun logos are relegated to the minor leages.

That's hilarious. I always assumed Kapp's card was a bad touch up. They really reused his photo, here it in from a 1960 set.

And a 1964?

They used the same photo for the 1968 & 1969 years.

I can understand using the same pic maybe 2, even three years in a row but a decade later, still using the same pic?!?!

I don't get where the green jersey would have come from in the CFL since Calgary is red and BC uses orange...no green that I'm aware of in either team's past.

Finally, on a marginally related Joe Kapp note, here once again is the clip of him attacking Angelo Mosca at last year's Grey Cup in retaliation for an incident that happened in 1963. I think Kapp might have a screw loose these days:

I hadn't seen a CFL game in decades, but last night I stumbled onto the Calgary-Edmonton game and watched it. It was a great game and I forgot the unique brand of football the CFL offered, it was an exciting, fast game. So watching this clip this morning was very timely, and might I add, entertaining. Can you imagine if Frank Gifford took a swing at Chuck Bednarik or Merlin Olsen (RIP) taking a swing at Conrad Dobler at a function like this? It would be huge news, lawsuits galore, and maybe even criminal charges levied.

I completely agree. I love mascot logos.

I've never seen that Bengals logo before. What a treat!

Too bad the guy went to all the trouble of putting those cards online but not scanning them so they were squared up nicely instead.
